What’s in a Conference Theme?
For our upcoming #RESOremote Encore event, we’ve been releasing album covers with a RESO twist for our “standards collection.” Music is often a communal and collaborative experience, and community contribution is at the heart of what RESO achieves in the real estate industry. Enjoy.
Taylor Swift may be a relatively new “standard,” but, hey, so is RESO. We celebrate originality, creativity, and exceptional songwriting that will never go out of style with the release of Miss Swift’s wonderful 1989.
We substituted the year of her birth (1989) for RESO’s year of incorporation (2011). Fill your calendar’s #BlankSpace and join us on October 27th for #RESOremote Encore. Avoid jealousy-induced #BadBlood with other attendees and register today!
For last week’s second release, we move from a reigning pop music queen to, well, Queen. The numeric title parallels our second #RESOremote. Freddie even joined in on the #RockYourRESO fun!
Don’t be the #LoserInTheEnd and miss out on a rockin’ #RESOremote Encore. Reserve your spot today!

Let RESO-Standardized Data Choose Your Next Brokerage Office Location
As we approach the RESO Remote Encore: The Standards Collection event in just over a month, we revisited a talk given by Eric Stegemann, CEO of TRIBUS, from RESO’s last fall conference in Eric’s hometown of St. Louis.
He delved into how MLSs can use RESO-standardized data fields to help brokerages make better decisions – like choosing broker office locations – by passing through more data to brokers and their vendors. | READ BLOG POST OR WATCH VIDEO

Research & Development Workgroup Meeting | September 3, 2020
Meeting Summary: The Unique Licensee Identifier (ULI) has clearly become the main focal point of the R&D Workgroup in 2020. Not only is it currently the only business case being discussed regularly at this time, but it has its own subgroup. Some elements of that business case will be brought back into R&D, while the group continues to farm other workgroups and RESO Board of Director’s initiatives for new material to research and develop. | CALL NOTES
Action Items:
- Cancel the graphics-related Business Cases for now.
- Consider whether or not we should recommend a Voice Tagging Standardization Subgroup under the purview of Data Dictionary.
- Include more ULI “elevator pitch” discussion during the next R&D Workgroup meeting.
Certification Subgroup Meeting | September 3, 2020
Meeting Summary: The group discussed the proposal for a Lookups Resource for enumerations (RCP-032) for the majority of the meeting, also comparing it to the OData Allowed Values approach (RCP-030). There was then a review of the Data Dictionary 1.7.0 and Web API Core 1.0.2 proposals and a progress update on the testing tools. | CALL NOTES
Action Items:
Unique Licensee Identifier (ULI) Subgroup Meeting | September 4, 2020
Meeting Summary: Although the topics being covered every other week in the ULI Subgroup meetings can become wide-ranging, this particular meeting began to focus back toward an elevator pitch to give to the industry at large at the next RESO conference. There are still some big determinants to consider before beginning any kind of work on a ULI, but achieving a stronger foundation based on recognizing the business problem, visually scoping out possible solutions and explaining the potential impact to all stakeholders is the agreed-upon next move. | CALL NOTES
Action Items:
- Create a visual elevator pitch for the next RESO conference to enhance industry buy-in.
- Further documentation in the ULI Business Case toward the business problems being solved, the scope of the solution and the impact of the ULI on the industry.
- Track an ongoing “living document” repository of best matching practices.
- Focus on drawing rules ahead of determining the technology to be used.
Board Liaison Committee Meeting | September 4, 2020
Meeting Summary: This meeting is held once per month in order to give workgroup chairs an opportunity to converse about their top agenda items, request help from each other and provide summary reports to the RESO Board of Directors. Each report is provided as part of the meeting agenda and call notes. | CALL NOTES
Action Items:
- Specific workgroup action items are contained within the reports, but additional items discussed during the meeting are captured here.
- Internet Tracking will continue to track down and work with showing solutions for participation/overview of summary field data set. There are Data Dictionary ramifications for showing data, as well, so Data Dictionary and Internet Tracking will work together on putting some new items in the pipeline.
- Assure that Broker Advisory’s Working with Real Estate Data guide contains material that comes from a certification source.
- Data Dictionary will work with Payloads on Tax Subgroup items, once tax-related metadata is collected.
Workgroup Meetings This Week
- September 8: Cross-Platform Interoperability
- September 8: Transport
- Call notes for both meetings will be available soon in Confluence and meeting summaries will be shared in next week’s blog.
