We are in a period where listings are flying everywhere. You post a listing in one place, it appears on several others. Some you may not even realize you are listed on till you get an inquiry.
Recently, there has been much concern that many of these listing syndication/aggregators are actually using your data to make money off you. And if they aren’t today, they probably will tomorrow.
However, think about this: If everyone buys the up sell, won’t everyone be back to a level playing field with less money in their pockets?
Mark Scheel, the man behind the ‘Demo Days’ during the RETS Meetings put together a ‘Portable Pedal Power Generator’. A big shout out goes to Mark and his submission to the Innovate or Die Pedal-Powered Machine Contest. This was the same little invention that got him detained at the Austin airport, as this wired capacitor contraption looked a bit on the suspicious side!
Give Mark a hand, and vote for his submission, and help progress Data Standardization in Real Estate in some one-off way.
