Real Estate Connect is always a whirlwind, and this year was no exception. There are always fantastic speakers and tons of great content, and it’s impossible to attend every workshop and session. However, I always make a point at the conference to grab a good seat for Brad Inman’s keynote. I was particularly interested in Brad’s keynote this year. He discussed the post-PC era, and how tablets and smartphones are reshaping our lives and how we consume content.

The post-PC era and mobile technologies are the leading catalysts for the open Web and cross-platform applications.

I participated in a session at a Real Estate Connect technology workshop titled “HTML5 vs. Flash: Is Flash Dead?” Ori Staub, the technology director at Active Website, also joined me on stage as we discussed many topics, including the current HTML standards, video, CSS3, JavaScript, app development, and more.

During the Q-and-A portion, I learned that many website owners in the audience still utilized Adobe Flash on their real estate websites and did not have a mobile version.

Five years after shaking up the real estate industry by making public property records and automated home valuations available to consumers online, Zillow Inc. today became a publicly traded company valued at nearly $1 billion.

Zillow said it raised $75.7 million in the IPO and private placement of 3.7 million shares priced at $20 each. Investors promptly bid the shares up to more than double that price after trading commenced this morning on the Nasdaq.

By early afternoon, Zillow’s share price had settled down into the $35 range — which would put the company’s market capitalization at about $962 million, if underwriters exercise an over-allotment option to bring shares outstanding to a total of 27.5 million in coming weeks.

RISMEDIA, July 12, 2011—Executives within the default Industry are required to make decisions on a variety of dispositions that vary from loss mitigation to REO pricing strategies. The Broker Pricing Opinion (BPO) is an integral component of the decision making process, and as the industry has grown exponentially over the past five years, the need for greater accountability has grown with it.

Real estate agents that provide BPOs have been asked to provide that accountability with a level of detail not previously asked for, and document their valuations with transparent, non-biased reporting reflective of their local market expertise.

The culmination of this request for greater detail has seen the BPO evolve from a one-page summary of current sales and listings, into a two-page document requiring the agent to detail and comment on those forces that affect marketability. Furthermore, every BPO is now reviewed by an audit staff to ensure that the BPO meets client specified requirements.
