🇺🇸 🇷🇴 Bilateral connection is now active. We’re proud to announce that the bilateral connection between Stellar MLS and MLSLeader - Powered by Flexmls Romania is now active through the GDX - Global Data Exchange Network. This marks an important step forward in cross-border MLS collaboration — connecting markets through shared standards, trusted interoperability, and a stronger framework for international real estate data exchange. More than a technical milestone, this activation reflects a bigger vision: enabling real estate organizations to work across borders while respecting local governance, rules, and market identity. This connection is especially meaningful in Florida, home to one of the largest Romanian-American communities in the United States, making stronger ties between Florida and Romania all the more relevant. Congratulations to Merri Jo Cowen and Sorin Udrea for the leadership behind this collaboration, and thank you to all partners helping move the industry toward a more connected global future. #GDX #StellarMLS #MLSLeader #Romania #Florida #RESO #MLS #CrossBorderRealEstate #DataStandards #PropTech Universal Consulting Opportunities , @RESOStandards, ADRES, @RealtyFeed1

@aviel "America is at a crossroads," is usually followed by an illogical argument sure to be shot down if it were not for our supposed impending demise. Didn't we just pass the largest tax increase in state history?

Debate is a good thing, but so is critical thinking. I appreciate the world that Ben wants to live in, heck I want to live in it as well... But basing an argument around "most creative, ambitious, and educated people are not primarily motivated by marginal tax rate optimization" remains the most disingenuous argument to date for bills like this one. Even worse than saying "since you've been so lucky, it's greedy to not give up your property for the sake of the 'greater good'". (This one's hard for sure since I love Star Trek) But in good faith, why not give it a shot! The next time a founder asks me to invest $1m at a $10m valuation, I'm going to tell them that I'm only going to do it at a $9m valuation because if the investment ends up working out they'll be making so much money anyway that it doesn't matter. I'll report back on how that goes! geekwire.com/2026/opinion-t…
