I am not sure at all what you are talking about comparing the rich data conversation to car features. I am not trying to sell anything, only pointing out what great Realtors already know. Consumer want photos, videos and detailed descriptions. A lot of people think that the lack of rich data is the fault of lazy real estate agents and brokers. In fact this is simply, for the most part, not the case. The reason for poor listing data has more to do with the limitations of the legacy MLS systems than agent or broker motivation. Yes I was the COO of Point2 and was responsible for vision and strategic direction and I am very proud of the job I did and the legacy I left. The reasons for my departure had nothing whatsoever to do with any challenges related to the product or the vision. I believe in the underlying fundamentals on which the Point2 NLS was created. “Kelly” your IP block is one I recognize well from within the walls of Point2. So I have to ask you the question, do you believe in your own product?

Isn’t it just obvious and bit of an oxymoron to talk about the quality of the data. Does anyone not want the quality? Maybe that is why nobody cares as they all agree but understand the challenges behind it. You use to run Point2 Agent and quit after trying for so long so you should know about the challenges.
