- 17. Our Industry is Perplexed • Uncertain economy and weak real estate markets • MLS’ debate the merits of consolidation, revenue streams, data ownership and their ‘true role’ • Real estate brokers struggle to survive on narrow margins • Realtors struggle to earn U.S. median income • Everybody wants realty data for free • Innovators want no barriers to innovation • Thought leaders want their views adopted • New business models and technologies continue to disrupt (Freemium) • RETS is not all it could be

- 23. But, Some Shortcomings… • Technology advances faster than a volunteer organization can accommodate • Progress is directly tied to resources: – Volunteers members – Volunteer governance body – Financial support • ‘Us’ vs. ‘Them’ impedes progress • Unmet demands for data ‘types’ and faster, cheaper data updates
- 24. Governance & Funding Fell Short, Too • RESO Governance Structure was proposed but never formally adopted • 501 (c) 6 Incorporation has not occurred • Non-binding agreement, used primarily as a governance guide by the BOD • NAR agreed to fund the budget until other shareholders contributed 50%+ • Other ‘shareholders’ have not arrived
- 25. • Commercial real estate practitioners • MLS Executives calling for the ‘complete standard’ of data names and values • They say: “If RESO can’t, we will!” • The COVE group of MLS’ has made contributions to the Standard this year • Perhaps we create synergy with COVE, CMLS and other MLS executives? • What is the COVE?
