I was brought in by RealEstate Business Intelligence (RBI), the statistics and research arm of MRIS to further their effort to provide more transparency in their regional housing market.  One of the first things I did with their information, whose depth and quality is unlike anything else I have ever analyzed, is build a pending [...]

Here's a quick and dirty recap of the Manhattan Market Overview released today that we prepare for Prudential Douglas Elliman.

I sit down with my friend John Mehigan, an associate broker at Gumley Haft Kleier who, when he is not selling real estate, is in the cast of HGTV’s number one show Selling New York (new season on HGTV premieres at 9pm EST).  We talk about his perspective on the Irish economy/Mahattan housing market and [...]

I got to interview my namesake, Jonathan Miller who is the longtime author of the seminal publication Emerging Trends in Real Estate, the Urban Land Institute’s (ULI) annual commercial real estate industry forecast and speaks extensively on suburban and urban issues. Our real estate lives have intersected for years.  For example, I would get complimented [...]

I have made it a point to attend Mark Zandi’s economic forecast presentations over the years and had the opportunity to meet and speak with him at the Counselors of Real Estate meeting in Philadelphia a few months ago.  He graciously accepted my invitation to have a conversation with me (via Skype).  In 2009 Time [...]

I first spoke to Stan Humphries, chief economist at Zillow.com last year at the Inman Conference in NYC and found him to be very engaging.  Yesterday he dropped by our offices and we had a conversation on the state of the national housing market. Fun!

I get to have another conversation with Rick Sharga of RealtyTrac – this time via skype.  I’ve long admired his ability to articulate the state of the US foreclosure market.  We touch on foreclosure mapping, robo-signing, and a sense of where we seem to be headed foreclosure-wise.

For years I’ve watched Gary Shilling’s media interviews on the economy and read his columns in Forbes.  I ran into him recently when we were both on Bloomberg Surveillance with Tom Keene and Ken Prewitt and invited him to sit down with me and have a conversation about housing.  He runs his epomonyous economic consulting [...]

In a first for this podcast series, I have included a press call on a new product release.  While I participate in media calls fairly regularly for my Matrix blog, I have never recorded one. I spoke with Steve Berkowitz, CEO of Move, Inc., a publicly traded company, that counts Realtor.com and Move.com as two [...]

I got to catch up with Bob Dorsey, Chief Data and Analytics Officer of FNC which he is a co-founder.  Bob is a principal force behind their US residential housing price index that combines public record data and data collected from appraisal reports submitted to lenders. The index takes a different approach than the primary [...]

Via Skype, I have a great conversation with Alan Mark, founder and president of The Mark Company.  Based in San Francisco, his firm is well-known for its work with new development, conversion and project turnarounds throughout the Western US.  His firm specializes in design consulting, market research, sales and marketing. Originally from the New York [...]

I finally got to meet and have a conversation with Florence Quinn, Founder and President of Quinn & Co., a leading public relations firm specializing in food, wine + spirits, real estate and travel.  Her practice continues to grow, providing services for both national and international clients. Florence built a highly respected and successful practice [...]

Here’s a brief recap of the results of the 3Q 2010 Manhattan Rental Market Overview I released a few weeks ago.  I am tardy getting this online and recorded it on my iphone late in the evening at my hotel while at a conference.  I’m not up to my sharpest delivery with a bunch of [...]

I interview the always intense Adam Leitman Bailey, the eponymous founder of the real estate law practice that specializes in real estate. He’s involved in two high profile cases at the moment, representing the developer of the proposed mosque and cultural center near Ground Zero in a lawsuit and the recent decision in favor of his [...]

I sit down with Doug Heddings, founder of The Heddings Property Group and blogger at True Gotham.  He’s a long time top producing real estate broker who made the move to start his own company, with his own take on the real estate brokerage model…and its working. I do my best to keep kitchen appliance [...]

Last week I wrote a post on Matrix called [Shortsighted] Appraisal Institute Decides To Leave Appraisal Foundation where I expressed my frustration at the rift between The Appraisal Foundation and one of its sponsoring organizations, The Appraisal Institute.  I thought high drama was the purview of real estate brokers and economists.  The situation seemed to [...]

Source: Las Vegas Sun A few months ago I met Mark Stark, CEO of Prudential Americana Group in Las Vegas, NV so I thought I’d ask him to have a conversation about the challenges of his market.

I have a great discussion with Jon Gollinger, Founder and CEO, Accelerated Marketing Partners who sets me straight on the concept of accelerated marketing as a process (hint: it’s not all about auctions). In early 2009, he and I were part of a New York Times page one story on his marketing prowess. Jon pulls no [...]

I spoke via Skype with Ian Huckabee, who is a web marketing strategist/technologist, self proclaimed Chief Weejee at Weejee Media and developer of DwellWell.  He has a unique background with audio and marketing stints at Sony and a successful home builder. Our mutual friend Andrea Powell, when she is not a vampire, suggested we would [...]

A while back, Erica Ferencik cold-called me to pitch her self-published novel as blog-worthy for Matrix called Cracks in the Foundation, a humorous story of real estate broker who has listed an outhouse for sale.  She is an active real estate broker in the Boston area (including the town I grew up in, the ‘ham).  She was [...]

I “peel the apple” with Ana Maria Sencovici of The Apple, Peeled and end up having a great conversation about helping the real estate broker move from salesperson to trusted advisor.  She and her business partner Marie Espinal launched their blog and newsletter at the beginning of the year.  Their focus is to provide content [...]
