Someone else named Matt Michalski made a group chat with me and 10 other people named Matt Michalski 😐

@retechruss @girdley No Russ no!

@girdley Delta is overrated!

My annual rankings of US airlines: Tier 1: Delta Tier 2: United, Alaska Tier 3: American, Spirit, JetBlue Should be shut down and sold for parts: Southwest

@gregofisch Venture backed NAR competitor is interesting 👀 For a Zillow storefront experience, what do you think the primary purpose would be?

@gregofisch Being one of the only agents in your area that can tell homeowners “your home will look special online if you choose me”. All about winning that next listing! Also enhanced personal branding on your listing.

@gregofisch I had an aneurism trying to read this tweet

@gregrobertson Don't do this to me.

I'm sensing a disturbance in the force....

@gregofisch Any thoughts on the economics of OpenDoor’s business model?

@bobbyfijan I don't have the floor plan for this studio, but thought you would appreciate the creative use of space. Never seen a bed + closet combo quite like this: zillow.com/homedetails/39…?

@retechruss Jelly beans - and NOT the Starburst kind

Post-Halloween Question for the gang: What is the most underrated candy?

@etarczynski Hell yeah! Congrats to you and your fiancé @etarczynski!

@barrettjoneill @girdley @awilkinson Panera has tried this with unlimited coffee for $10/month. Uses coffee as a loss leader essentially panerabread.com/en-us/mypanera…

@girdley @awilkinson I can’t think of a service I’d sign up for faster. $20/mo. membership to get coffees for $1.50-2.50/each. But you’re probably right because it seems too obvious.

Has anyone copied the Costco model for restaurants? Food sold at cost. Employees paid well. Memberships = profit.

@markjenney Here is what it looked like pre-renovation: matterport.com/discover/space…

I can’t wrap my head around the Phoenix real estate market. This house below: Sold in 2020 for $4.5M Currently asking $30M I’ve seen other examples over the last year and I say to myself no way this sells anywhere near asking price and then it does 🤷‍♂️ zillow.com/homedetails/52…

@gregofisch I canva do what I wantva

@cbboyer I’ll be waiting for your thread on commission transparency in the near term

I’ll be posting a thread on commission transparency and what I think it means for residential RE in the near term

@gregrobertson @Matterport VHT has scale, but still services sub 5% of US listings. That said, I still think it makes sense for Matterport long term.

@gregrobertson Excited to see how this goes for @Matterport. Professional photographers are often the ones performing the service for agents - a lot of talk about alternatives to MP now that are competing with them directly.

It's all about distribution

@bobbyfijan It definitely all comes down to user inputs. Another great example of a company in this space is @Parafin3d. Right now it is specifically for hotel site configuration, but same idea of generative floor plan design.

Came across new software for AI/ML generated floorplans. These do some things wells, but also have some fundamental limitations They're great at trying all iterations - if you input proper constraints But they can't offer what OUGHT to be, or answer: "What do renters prefer?"

@gregofisch Early bird gets the worm, but the early worm gets eaten 🧐

@retechruss @Redfin @branickweix

I rely so much on @Redfin's Data Center. Everywhere else is "normalized for seasonality" which isn't helpful in these market conditions.

@retechruss @Redfin It is astounding how hard it is to find non-seasonally adjusted data. Mind boggling to me that NAR has the data but doesn't make it available.
