I’ve gotten more than a few requests for a copy of my presentation to NAR’s Association Executives Institute meeting from Monday. Now, it’s over 172MB so emailing it is out of the question. However, the wonders of the Internet never cease. I’ve uploaded it to Slideshare.net and am embedding it below. Ozymandias 2013 AEI 1.1 … Read more
Over at AGBeat, Jeff Brown — a real estate broker I know personally and have respected for years both for his knowledge and his utter fearlessness — gets into the weeds and explains why “agent-centric” brokerage model sucks. Well, to be fair, the actual title of his post is, “Why real estate’s agent-centric broker models … Read more
Either one is a possibility.
Facebook’s revamped ‘Newsfeed’ could be a boon for agents (Inman News):
The redesign’s focus on images and video could help generate more interest in listings real estate agents market on the social media site.
I’ve got my unfriend button ready to rock if a flood of listing photos start invading my news feed. Or unsubscribe from Facebook altogether.
Either one is a possibility.

This is a quick update for the purchasers of the Realogy Report. When I was researching that report, MidAmerican Energy Holdings had not filed its 2012 10-K. Which meant that we didn’t have any real information on the second largest brokerage in America: HomeServices of America. They did so on 3/1 but by then I … Read more
So more than few people have already commented on the new design for Realtor.com realtor.com. Listingbits has a roundup with some choice quotes. I guess all of the commentators make good points, and on the whole, I do like the designs. But then, I didn’t hate the old design either, so there is that. But two things … Read more
Hi there – first of all, thanks!
Second, though, since I’m ironing out the bugs/issues with membership/premium content plugins, I realized some of you were having issues accessing the free follow-on report. I think I’ve fixed it for everybody, but if you’re having any problems, contact me please and we’ll sort it out.
Also, for everyone who is purchasing the premium content, I’m having some professional coder help in the next couple of days (I honestly did not expect this kind of awesome response), but in the meantime… the easiest way to access posts is:
Go to the PREMIUM link in the navigation.
Login; there should be a form if you’re not logged in. It will either take you to the post, or to the Dashboard. The links are in the Dashboard.
If, instead, you see your name… you’re already logged in. The links are also in the Premium section page — you should be able to get to what you paid for.
Again, if you run into any issues, please contact me: rhahn@7dsassociates.com.
Thanks, and I apologize for any inconvenience as I work out the technical details from having overwhelming response for a one-man shop here. 🙂

Note: I’ve decided to use the [PROMO] tag in the title when I’m talking about one of my premium content pieces. I just published something I consider to be among my best written works to date. It came to over 15,000 words and if it were printed out, I think it fills 40 pages … Read more
My friend Mike Simonsen of Altos Research recently put up an excellent post explaining why he thinks the housing inventory levels remain so low. Read the whole thing, since Mike is one of the sharpest guys in the industry, and he uses data that the other analysts often do not. In summary, Mike thinks that … Read more
Just a quick FYI.
I’m doing some housekeeping on my websites, and decided to migrate all the old 7DS Associates blogposts here to Notorious. You can find them on the top navigation menu, under Topics.
Or, you can click on this link I guess:
