GreenPearl: Real Estate Marketing & Tech Conference
A: Ryan Slack, CEO of Greenpearl Events , founding CEO of PropertyShark.com, and one of Crain's 40 Under 40 of New York Rising Stars in 2007, put together this packed conference and has a great list of speakers covering a wide array of expertise the next two days. If anything, the brokers in this industry should have a great interest in attending this conference.

Noah- off topic, but curious to know where you stand on the Goldman thing.

OT - I think they did what they did to take advantage of the inefficiencies while it lasted and did not have the best intentions for clients. Clearly. The question is, whether they did something illegal around this civil suit in misrepresenting the offering to clients, which from what I have seen, looks clear also. However, the SEC vs GS, the SEC better have more stuff behind the scenes to support their case. I bet GS settles in 8-10 months or so for some low figure

Sounds fair and balanced to me. I would take it a step further and say that they were opportunistic but don't wrong them for that. Anyone doing business with them as a principal should be aware they are dealing with shrewd sharks. If it comes out that they were negligent in their fiduciary capacity, I'll dust off my pitch-fork, but until then, I think this is a circus orchestrated by those in Congress eager to ram through a reform bill (which is necessary, but shouldn't be rushed).

OT,
I am totally against any regulation on Wall Street same as I was totally against the bailout...
It is a free market and it should be treated that way....Whoever screws up, pays up...no need for any Government intervention. If Government had let the financial institutions fail, the bankers would think twice before risking everything again....the market forces everybody to self regulate if there is no intervention.....
As a friend of mine who works on Wall Street told me "why do I care - I am too big to fail"...

John seems to be full of ingenious commentary these days. "Brokers suck!" "Bailouts suck!" "Regulation sucks!" Maybe you should consider moving to Candyland where idolatry functions well.
I take issue with many of these things too. Unless you can think of a better solution ("just let the fail" doesn't qualify), why bother talking.

With the development of private property ownership, real estate has become a major area of business, commonly referred to as commercial real estate.That really sounds good information.

Went to the technology conference and it was great. There is a need however in the lawsuit from the justice dapartment that many associates need to learn, Ex:: you must give the status of your listings, example if in contract you must let the public know. Another law is overpricing, in many states a broker can not overprice a listing...why? It gives an advantage to the broker to get the listing!

couldn't agree with you more Marilyn! Not only do we need more regulation of how brokers maintain their listings, but we need oversight of how new developments/sponsors handle their offerings in terms of creating records for the shared ROLEX system.
It is my belief, after 10 months of development of a new analytics platform, that new devs should be required to create a record of each and every unit in the first offering for first marketing. I dont care if the developer then puts 80% to off market, that is their right. But a record MUST be created so we can accurately measure the market.
Transparency is good and you will LOVE my new product suite Marilyn! Thanks for commenting here..
