I’m with you.

I’m with you.

I agree with you on search — but then, across every industry, every application, the computer itself, search is not perfect. The quest for ultimate search will consume compsci majors at Stanford and elsewhere for decades. All to our benefit, I think.

I believe that you and I (and others in the RE.net) can speak alot about what real estate is NOT about. I’m having the same issue in a way — I can talk about what NOT to do much easier than I can talk about what to ACTUALLY do.

I tell you what, though — I’m watching Redfin…

Keep up the good work, mate.

The search interface – Agreed. A major challenge for real estate. Truthfully, no one has it perfect. Even the vernacular is wrong. I question whether that exercise is about search or if it’s about find. Or maybe it’s really about answering the question.. can I live here?

Nevertheless, what Chase has done is big. It’s not perfect. Nothing is. But it’s big. And it warrants a positive discussion.

2. What real estate is about? I am pretty sure it’s not about generating, capturing and drip torturing consumers.

I’m pretty sure it’s not about a one-sided conversation that real estate has been having with itself.

I’m convinced it’s not about any Realtor claiming to be anything they feel like, because it sounds or looks food on a website.

Moses 2.0 (what a great metaphor Rob) is not about leading his consumers to a promised land of milk and honey only to find Philistines, war and strife. And god knows, no crude oil.

Moses 2.0 is not about going on and on about all the milk and honey when there isn’t any.

Moses 2.0 or real estate 2.0 is about removing that firmament of hyperbole and getting down to providing something real, uplifting and better.

But what real estate is really about … well … the real estate is story is still unfolding. Perhaps it’s best for scribes like us to leave that page blank and let folks like Chase Nation, et al, fill it with a brand new definition, description and story.
