As promised<\/a>, this morning a cadre of Phoenix-area webloggers are launching The Phoenix Real Estate Technology Exchange<\/a>.<\/p>\n

From the brand new weblog’s About page:<\/a><\/p>\n

The Phoenix Real Estate Technology Exchange is a group weblog created by the Phoenix real estate weblogging community, by members of the Arizona Regional Multiple Listings Service (ARMLS) Board of Directors and by Michael Wurzer of FBS Systems, Inc. Its primary mission is to serve as an unofficial conduit of support and information for ARMLS members during the transition from Tempo to the flexmls on-line MLS system. Given the rapidly increasing role of technology in the practice of real estate, this mission is certain to creep into other areas of Realtor technology as time goes by.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There are a total of ten contributers to the weblog at its launch, including ARMLS President-Elect Gary Cumiskey. This is the roster of contributors so far:<\/p>\n

Other contributors will be added as the installation of flexmls proceeds.<\/p>\n

The entire point of this exercise is to help Phoenix-area Realtors plan for, adjust to and profit from the coming change in our MLS system. Accordingly, if you publish a real estate weblog in the ARMLS service area, it would be a good thing if you were to echo this announcement. And if every wired Phoenix-area Realtor were to pass this information along to his or her colleagues — and brokers and sales managers — that would be very helpful.<\/p>\n

The URL of the site — phoenixrealestatetechnologyexchange.com — is a mouthful, so feel free to share an abbreviated form: PRETexchange.com. Either URL will take users to The Phoenix Real Estate Technology Exchange weblog.<\/p>\n

For now this is a local issue, but national readers should not feel themselves left out — or unwelcome: Michael Wurzer and FBS Systems are letting true propeller-beanied Web 2.0 geeks have an on-going influence on their biggest installation so far. The work that is undertaken and documented at The Phoenix Real Estate Technology Exchange could have a profound impact on MLS systems nationwide.
