Finalists For Inman Innovator Awards Announced

June 25, 2007

inman_innovator_award.jpgInman News just announced the list of finalists for the 2007 Inman Innovator Awards. I started reading through the list and saw many familiar names and companies…

Most Innovative Brokerage or Franchise…Coldwell Banker? Check. John L. Scott? Check…

Most Innovative Web Service…Trulia Voices? Check. Zillow Q&A? Check. vFlyer, Wellcomemat, and Cyberhomes? Check…

Most Innovative Technology…Google Street View? Check. Meebo? Check. Jott? Check. MyBlogLog? Check. Altos Research’s Market? Check.

Most Innovative Blog…now this should be interesting. Transparent Real Estate? Check. Patrick.net. Hmmm, not sure about this one, but yeah, ok, Patrick was certainly an innovator on the “Sky is falling” side of the equation. Bloodhound Blog? Check. Redfin’s Sweet Digs blogs? Check. Real Estate Tomato? Check.

And then…??? Little old me?

Don’t know what to say. I’ve been working on this blog for some 9 months now, have made a lot of friends, have learned a lot, have gotten some exposure, and have had a lot of fun. If the powers that be at Inman decide to nominate 3 Oceans, who am I to argue?

My thanks go out to the awesome contributors on my site: Chris Iverson and Bart Marchioni of Keller Williams, Ana Hays of Alain Pinel, Christine Kani of Equitas Capital, Ann O’Connell of Solstice Staging, and David Roberson of Rossi, Hamerslough, Reischl, & Chuck.

See you all at Inman!

P.S. In the fully transparent spirit of Web 2.0, I should reveal that:

1) Pat Kitano, author of the Transparentre.com blog which was also nominated, is my  business partner in a new venture that he and I have started.

2) This new venture, which, amongst other things, provides consulting services, is currently engaged by Trulia, also mentioned above.
