Today, I had the opportunity to have lunch with Nick and Matt from Diamond Dwellings, and Douglas Hurst from SoftRealty.  Matt is the owner and Broker for DD, Nick is his assistant, and Doug is the CEO od SoftRealty.  He is also a car guy… four wheels and fast… F1, NASCAR, WRC… whatever.

Doug and I had taken part in a video promo for AtlantaDwellings.tv for Matt.

The fun part was talking a little about the search technology that SoftRealty is using, as well as some of the future things that we are pushing for.  They introduced their search platform right after REtechSouth, and were a sponsor.  Even though I wasn’t with Diamond Dwellings at the time, both Matt and I were VERY early adopters of the IDX platform (IDX is the real estate search).

Some things we might be able to look forward to after the lunch conversation… different ways to search, like using heat maps to see what areas are selling fast, as well as what areas are increasing or decreasing in value.

In a couple of weeks, all of us are going out to San Francisco for a RE tech conference.  Aside from the communications technologies that will be discussed, I am hopeful that some interesting ideas about property searches will surface…

And you’ll see it here and on GarageHomesUSA first!
