Following #ICSF: Day 3 at Inman Connect SF

Move, Inc. CEO Ryan O'Hara talking about Realtor.com's rivalry with Zillow ("Competition will make us both better") and News Corp.'s plans for the portal on day three of Inman Connect SF. The portal also won "Most Innovative Marketing Strategy" for its bus tours of open houses in New York City during Inman's annual Innovator Awards. Other winners included CRMLS for Most Innovative MLS or Association and Redfin for their "Book It Now" consumer facing appointment setting technology. See a full list of winners here.
