Five Ways To Leverage Property Data In Real Estate Marketing

Real estate is a local game — and highly targeted marketing is key to winning it. Whether you’re an agent, mortgage broker, insurance firm or home services provider, delivering the right message to the right audience is critical if you want to close a deal.

Years ago, that wasn’t so easy. Agents plastered entire ZIP codes with door hangers, and insurance and home services providers sent out mailers to entire communities, whether they were up for renewing their policies or not. The result was more money spent than necessary and less-than-ideal results.

Today, real estate professionals have access to robust and detailed property data, allowing them to be more deliberate about their marketing efforts — pinpointing the exact consumers with the exact message at the exact time they’re most likely to convert.

As the vice president of marketing for ATTOM Data Solutions, I see the importance of marketing data from multiple perspectives: understanding the uses of our platform’s property data in real estate marketing, as well as in my own efforts of driving traffic to our company’s website via pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns, search engine optimization (SEO) and engaging content.

YouTube Cofounder Steve Chen Launches Hedge Fund That Uses AI To Make Investment Decisions

YouTube cofounder Steve Chen is partnering with veteran money manager Jack Fu to launch a hedge fund that picks stocks and fixed-income assets through the use of artificial intelligence.

The Draco Capital Macro Quant Fund has already raised $50 million with a goal of $200 million by the end of 2021, Chen said last week.

The fund that debuted in September uses an AI algorithm to gauge which assets are ideal for both bull and bear markets, he says.

“It utilizes much of the AI and big data processing that was employed in companies that I’ve worked and/or advised in Silicon Valley,” Chen says. “It weighs the large tech companies, such as Apple and Microsoft, in a bullish market, while focusing more on defensive assets, such as gold and long-term treasuries, in a bearish market.”

Death to heart disease is the great hero of football history

Diego Armando Maradona; A football magician. A classical artist. A legend. One of the best footballers of all time died yesterday after drowning millions of football fans in the world. A 60-year-old football magician has died of a heart attack at his home in the small Argentine town of Tigre, AFP reports.

A few days ago, he fell ill and was admitted to a hospital in the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires. In the second week of this month, he underwent successful surgery to remove blood. He was released from the hospital 8 days after the surgery.

He returned to his home. Died there. Maradona was born on October 30, 1960, in the city of Lanus in the province of Buenos Aires. Pele, or Maradona – who is the best footballer in the world? With this, the football world is divided. FIFA solves this complex problem.

I can make people happy with the ball, this is the highest peak of our pride

Pele was recognized as the best footballer of all time until 1980 and later in 1990. Both are World Cup-winning footballers. Maradona got a chance in the Argentina national team in 1977. But due to his young age, he did not get a chance to play the World Cup at home in 1978.

Argentina became the world champion of service under the leadership of Daniel Passarella. Despite not getting a chance in ’78, Maradona played four World Cups in 1982, 1986, 1990, and 1994 in an azure-white jersey of Argentina. Spain made its World Cup debut in ’82. At the age of 22, he turned his attention to himself.

But Argentina could not pass the group stage. Mexico World Cup in 1986 saw the football world a new football magician. Become immortal in that room. In his football magic, Argentina won the World Cup for the second time. Not only the world champion, but he also scored five goals.

His two goals against England set him apart in the golden pages of history. One of whose goals was controversial. The goal, which he called “Hands of God”, has been widely criticized by England football fans. The second goal was declared by FIFA as the best goal of the century.

The way Maradona scored the goal by cutting five England footballers with the ball from their boundary is possible only in imagination! This football artist became immortal with that one goal. After Maradona’s magical football, World Cup football became popular in Bangladesh.

Argentina also reached the final of the 1990 World Cup in Italy. But Maradona did not win the World Cup in a row due to the bad refereeing of the Mexican referee. The way Maradona cried like a child after the defeat in the final, his tears have touched the hearts of football fans. He also played in the 1994 World Cup in the United States.

But banned for drugs. The football magician officially bid farewell to the national team in 1997. In his 20-year international football career, the football legend has scored 34 goals in 91 matches. He has scored 8 goals in 21 matches in four World Cups.


At the end of his football career, he chose to coach as his profession. For the first time in 2008, Argentina took part in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. But after a poor performance, the country’s football federation canceled his contract with him. His career in club football is as colorful as the national team.

He played for world-famous clubs in Napoli, Barcelona. The Argentine Football Federation tweeted: “Argentine Football Association President Claudio Tapia is deeply saddened by the death of our legend Diego Maradona. You will always be in our hearts. ‘

Joe Biden Wins Presidency After Recapturing Rust Belt States

TOPLINE

Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. is projected to be the next president of the United States based on election analysis by the Associated Press, defeating incumbent President Donald Trump in what proved to be one of the most brutal campaigns in modern history, throughout which Biden vowed to heal the nation’s deep divisions and respond forcefully and responsibly to Covid-19 pandemic.

KEY FACTS

 The Associated Press called the crucial battleground state of Pennsylvania for Biden on Saturday after late-counted absentee ballots gave him a come-from-behind victory, also calling Nevada for him shortly after.

 Biden’s path to 270 electoral votes was paved through Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan, which Trump won after decades of Democratic dominance, leaving some Democrats to question whether their path to the presidency in future elections would still run through the Midwest.

Judge Warns Postal Service Of ‘Price To Pay’ After It Downplays Defying Court Order To Search For Ballots

TOPLINE :The U.S. Postal Service said in court Wednesday that it did sweep its facilities for any undelivered ballots Tuesday in key battleground states despite not complying with a court-ordered deadline to do so—but a federal judge warned that USPS will likely face consequences for ignoring the “very important court order” on Election Day.

U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan in the District of Columbia ordered USPS Tuesday to have postal inspectors sweep many of its facilities in regions including battleground areas in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Texas and Georgia for any undelivered ballots by 3 p.m.—but the USPS said in a subsequent court filing that while it was sweeping the facilities, it would not do so by that deadline.

Department of Justice lawyers representing USPS said at a status conference Wednesday afternoon there “wasn’t enough time” to get postal inspectors to postal facilities by 3 p.m. as the court had demanded, but that the sweeps themselves happened “even if the timing did not.”
