I recently had the good fortune of getting to know the founder and owner of LINK Boston, Debra Taylor Blair. Her firm built and operates the MLS system in Boston. She also provides invaluable information to the public and the real estate community through her Conversation Series.
She and I are kindred spirits in the world of data and look forward to a better understanding of the Boston market.
Coming soon: Matrix coverage of the Boston market.
I had the pleasure of interviewing Sami Inkinen, Founder and COO of Trulia.com. He was nice enough to drop in while he was in New York. We talk about how Trulia began, why it works and touch on some of their products such as the groundbreaking Trulia Voices.
As an added bonus, we talk about the merits of swimming with sharks…literally. [Update] Of course its “shark week” on the Discovery Channel.
I couldn’t make Real Estate Connect San Francisco 2009 this year for the first time in a while, but if you do, take a minute to visit with some Trulians.
