This week has been all about fun and games.  First Inman News reports that Coldwell Banker "goes virtual" with home sales on Second Life, then today Drew Myers at Zillow solicits ideas for real estate games using the Zillow API. Since we're all in the gaming spirit, we'd thought this would be the perfect time to share what we've been up to in the real estate gaming world.

We have a lot of stuff in the pot, and want to tickle you guys with the latest real estate tool we have in the works…Fantasy Real Estate  (TM).

What is it? I'm not telling.

What's it about? I'm not telling.

Is it a mashup? Is it a search engine? Maybe…

Is it going to get agents more business? yes
Will the public use it to find homes? yes
Will New data models be created with this? yes
Have I ever seen anything like it? NO!

We have been programming this for a long time, and we are very excited to say that it is in the last phase of development before we release it… Go check it out and get on the list for beta testers and early notifications.
