Many of us are interested in incorporating state of the art technology in to the professional real estate process. We all have varying skill levels and interests and the thought is that a Technology Group could be an interesting and productive way for all levels of technology skill and interests to come together. New discoveries can be discussed. Questions can be asked (and there are no bad questions). It could be a clearinghouse of sorts where everybody with technology related interests can come together and have an exchange. Easy!

The obvious answer is: none at all! The fact is that there is a built-in conflict of interest in the way that advertising companies are compensated: it is not in the ad-agency’s best interrest to do a good job: Not only is there a built-in probelm with the compensation method, there is also another inherent conflict of interests: ad agencies typically target a vertical market or two: that is they represent primarily a certain type of business: for instance doctors, manufacturing, retail… But if I have more than one client seeking the same market share, who do I represent best?
