Today, I am going to try and “be remarkable.” I know this isn’t exactly what Seth Godin had in mind, but we’ll see how it goes. . .

John Novak wanted me to show a few folks how Utterz.com worked. He chose Laura Monroe and I’m really glad he did. Laura runs Creative Agent Solutions, and she does an excellent job of explaining the positive benefits of hiring a virtual assistant.

One Way To Reduce Travel Expenses

Originally uploaded by respres

If the budget is tight, as you can imagine it would be with Luxe Lofts, then one way to keep the expenses low is to simply not man your booth. It’s brilliant. The booth becomes a highly targeted billboard.

Except these guys are in Las Vegas.

Pete Flint from Trulia and Joel Burslem from Inman News

This photo was meant to go with a light hearted and extremely entertaining commentary by Pete Flint, CEO of Trulia and Joel Burslem from Inman News and The Future Of Real Estate Marketing. But it is nowhere to be found on the Utterz backend. So, the least I can do is give them a larger photo. If the sound shows up later… I’ll attempt to repost.

Here was the gist… the analogy that Pete used (that Joel usurped on the audio) was “people seem to be holding the pieces of a puzzle and are trying to make it all fit, but they don’t have the box top the puzzle came in to use as a guide.”

I was very impressed with Mike Ela, the President and Founder of HomeSmart Reports. He comments on the differences between HouseSmart Reports and other AVM models, like a Zestimate. I think the interview speaks for itself, and certainly give you some insight into the thinking behind his product. Visit: http://www.homesmartreports.com

I just loved the story of how this website got started. Devon Wheeldon (pictured) started the company with her father. Visit The Ranch Broker Network: http://ranchbrokernetwork.net/index.html

The highlight of NAR2007 Day 1 for me was Seth Godin. Las Vegas is the perfect place to learn how to “be remarkable.”

I kept hoping for something more, even though each woman on the stage was extremely bright and articulate.

Street Cred + Knowledge + Authenticity = Excellent Presentation

Dustin Luther gives a very informative presentation on Web 2.0
techniques for building a real estate business online. He’s actually
done it, so it is hard to argue with his content.

A special treat for the NAR attendees who were willing to stay up for it, was the implosion of the Frontier Hotel & Casino. Jackie Colson-Miller had a room with a perfect view. She invited anyone who was up for it (2:30am) to her room to watch the spectacle, and there were six of us, including Kevin Joiner from Crye-Leike. Here is some video I shot. The actual implosion created no light for the camera to pick up, but the explosion was powerful.
