I recently had the good fortune of getting to know the founder and owner of LINK Boston, Debra Taylor Blair. Her firm built and operates the MLS system in Boston. She also provides invaluable information to the public and the real estate community through her Conversation Series.
She and I are kindred spirits in the world of data and look forward to a better understanding of the Boston market.
Coming soon: Matrix coverage of the Boston market.

I speak with Nancy Chemtob, a partner with Chemtob Moss Forman & Talbert, LLP a New York City law firm specializing in divorce, family and matrimonial law. My firm has done a lot of work with Nancy and her partners over the years and admire her approach and candor. Plus she’s fun to talk with.
The biggest asset in a divorce action is most often the real estate. The housing market crunch of the past 18 months has played havoc with the divorce process. What’s most interesting is the fact that divorce attorneys are often at the leading edge of a changing real estate market as their clients deal with the reality of market conditions within their strategy.
Note: I’ve got a new equipment set-up (again) and I am still wrangling with it so my audio track is a bit too loud. But Nancy makes her presence heard.
I had a great discussion with Steve Wagner, an attorney who specializes in representing co-ops/condos, litigation and technology, among other areas. I have worked with his firm Wagner Davis, P.C. over the years on some crazy cases.
Steve has a wealth of knowledge, but don’t get him started on grandfathering in co-ops. Listen to find out why.

Barry Ritholtz of Fusion IQ, the The Big Picture blog and author of the must-read Bailout Nation had previously sat down with me last June so I was long overdue in inviting him back.
He is a terrific speaker and is always guilty of providing nothing less than clear cut commentary on the economic world around us. Plus he likes it when I call him irreverent.
This time we talk strategic non-foreclosure, existing home sales, interest rates, going to zero and the dumbest smart people in the room.
We just released our Brooklyn Market Overview today and here’s a one-take short recap on the findings.
