"RESO Standards: Do Brokerages Really Care?" - 2019 RESO Fall Conference
RESO Standards: Do Brokerages Really Care? Presented by: Glenn S. Phillips, CEO at Lake Homes Realty Description: With full brokerage membership in 108 MLS and operating wholly-owned (non-franchised) real estate brokerages in 26 states, Lake Homes Realty has a unique perspective of MLS, data, and brokerage mindsets.

Phillips presents a candid and raw view of obstacles that must still be overcome before standards will be universally accepted.
