Welcome and Hello

I tend not to be a writer but have lots to say about Real Estate Data and how Administration and Management of RETS feeds are important to the Real Estate industry. I love what I do and also lucky to have a good relationship and friendship with some of the best minds in this industry. To them I will defer for their particular expertise. My intent is keep you informed from what I have learned along with experts to provide best practices on keeping your MLS data secure.

If you are responsible for MLS Data these are some of the people that, in my opinion, should be the basic reading to follow whether on blog or twitter.

Matt Cohen Clareity's Chief Technologist, Blog and Twitter.  Technology, and security I have yet to meet anyone who can surpass what he knows.

Kristen Carr of RETS IQ, Blog and Twitter.   Want to be able to feed data via RETS? Want to know what RETS is?  Need to keep you data feeds or bandwidth, under control? Kristen is the one to ask.

Brian Larson a lawyer, advisor to Multiple Listing Services and Real Estate Associations, Blog and Twitter.  Brian is one the best on the legal prospective regarding Real Estate policy and Issues.

Rob Overman MLS, Real Estate and RETS Software, Blog and Twitter. Rob brought to the industry many of the most widely used programs today.

Darity Wesley, Privacy Solutions Guru, Website and Twitter.  Some of Darity's expertise is data licensing contracts, personal privacy security, website privacy evaluations and much more.

Nambi Pambi a long time friend, Blog and Twitter.  Nambi (not a real name) is not involved in the Real Estate industry but provides Telecom Solutions for a worldwide company.  Since the mobile phone industry is an important asset to Real Estate agents Nambi's incite, into what is happening, is important to know.

There are many more people that should be on this list and I will add them in later issues.

So if you have any questions or suggestions, please ask.  Hopefully I can help answer them in some way.

Peace
