Real Estate Tech Talk
Dustin on 05 24, 2006
Back at MindCamp, Stewart Maxwell of Seattle Real Estate Talk recorded a podcast featuring me and Galen Ward discussing our ideas behind real estate technology.
While you’re on Seattle Real Estate Talk, check out their new layout. It’s very tight and I love the updated header graphic!
UPDATE
I just noticed that Galen wrote a little something about this podcast on the ShackPrices blog.

I had a chance to listen to the Podcast. Dustin, you are a remarkable person and it shows in everything you do. Galen, we all await the final changes and unveiling of the “slicker” version of ShackPrices. Do you have a target date? You both did an excellent job and the interview was both informative and entertaining. I particularly enjoyed Stewart’s comments regarding “demystifying the process” and blogs allowing people to acquire a “confidence in the person they are going to be dealing with”. I share his sentiments in my hopes for agent blogs, generally.
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I think Stewart was the first person I met in person because of RCG (it must have been last Spring!). He had been thinking that his wife should start a real estate blog to market her business, and by building RCG, he says I pressured them into actually putting together Seattle Real Estate Talk. Stewart is a very smart guy and had he put in even half as much time as I did, I know that his Seattle Real Estate Talk would be the most popular real estate blog in Seattle.
Ardell, you should see the “slicker” ShackPrices in late June. I’m looking forward to getting it out to the public.
Galen, I spent some time in ShackPrices.com today and was quite impressed with several of the features, particularly the sale history. I wondered though what the timeframe was for the sold properties. For a site like yours I would think going back a year would be quite informative for people trying to assess the range of pricing of a given area. The sales all seemed to be quite recent. Does it show all sales in the last 3 months? 6 months?
Ardell, you can change “Sold: within last 3 months” to Sold: within 5 years.” Word of warning, though: if you are not zoomed in on an area, it might be a little slow to update.
