To delay is to eventually make the right decision even harder.
“Indecision is a decision.”
Because not deciding is a choice, decisions are made whether we make them or not.
Bottom line: time is our enemy, and time ALWAYS wins unless action is taken. What we are not changing we are choosing.
What will you take action on TODAY?

FRISCO, Texas / SUNNYVALE, Calif. – March 31, 2020 – Matterport, the market leader for spatial data capture, and JP & Associates REALTORS® (JPAR), one of the top 50 real estate brokerages in the US, today announced a partnership that empowers JPAR’s agents to offer a Matterport 3D virtual tour. Matterport is making it simple for them to schedule a local scan service professional to capture a property in 3D and create a striking digital twin that clients can virtually walk through. In addition, Matterport’s all-in-one platform automatically generates and simultaneously delivers high-resolution photos of the property, video assets, and floor plans – everything JPAR agents need to immediately market properties.
“We are always looking for new ways to serve our clients and agents – even more so in times of crisis,” said JP Piccinini, Founder and CEO of JPAR. “By offering Matterport 3D virtual tours, our agents are armed with the very best solution to increase engagement with listings and help clients sell their homes as quickly as possible.”
Founded in 2011, JPAR was born out of a simple concept: supply real estate agents with everything they could possibly want or need in a brokerage. A top agent himself, Piccinini laid the foundation of this leading real estate brokerage based upon two critical components: productivity and service. In just eight years, the company has grown to more than 2,500 agents and has sold more than 40 franchises.
“We’re proud to offer JPAR agents a turnkey solution that turns every listing into a 24/7 open house, especially now during this time of social distancing,” said Richard McDonald, senior director of real estate strategy at Matterport. “Matterport is excited to connect JPAR agents with our professional network to create the most immersive 3D property walkthroughs for their clients to explore from anywhere, at any time.”
Matterport digital twins have also proven to help agents win more listings, sell properties faster and earn higher commissions. An independent study commissioned by Matterport showed that properties with 3D tours closed 31% faster and sold for up to 9% higher. Over 90% of the listings used Matterport 3D tours.

FRISCO, TX – January 30, 2020 – In a bold move, JP & Associates REALTORS® (“JPAR”) has announced that it will provide Lone Wolf Technologies’ (“Lone Wolf”) enterprise platform to its 45 offices and 2,500 full-time associates across 11 states. This platform, the only one of its kind in real estate, combines back office and transaction management to simplify the real estate transaction experience for everyone involved.
Lone Wolf’s enterprise platform is built on TransactionDesk and brokerWOLF, the company’s fully integrated transaction management and back-office and accounting solutions, and houses top tools for forms, eSignature, file review, accounting, commissions, agent management, and business intelligence. The platform ensures that both agents and the back office, who historically have worked in siloes on transactions, can collaborate in real-time. It also opens the door to a growing marketplace for agents and brokerages where they can connect a wide range of upstream and downstream services directly to their Lone Wolf platform.
With all of these tools available in one place, JPAR can dramatically increase the speed, accuracy, and simplicity of its franchise affiliates and brokerage transactions, extending these benefits to over 25,000 consumers in the coming year.
“We’re proud to help JPAR bring a connected technology system to all of their locations,” said Jimmy Kelly, CEO of Lone Wolf. “Too much of today’s technology can’t connect, leaving agents and brokers to cobble together a process beset by added data entry and time-consuming tasks. Our transaction and back-office solutions connect agents and brokers to ensure their technology does for them what it needs to do: make their jobs simpler. It’s wonderful to see our technology doing just that for JPAR.
JPAR is the country’s fastest-growing 100% commission real estate firm in Texas according to REAL Trends, and in its first year of franchising, has already established franchise operations in 11 states. Mark Johnson, CEO of JPAR’s corporate-owned offices, said, “the firm’s decision to choose Lone Wolf comes after an extensive evaluation of the industry’s leading technology providers based on a number of factors, including product functionality, flexibility, and future plans.”
“We’re so excited to provide Lone Wolf’s enterprise platform and TranscationDesk to our family of companies, associates and customers,” said JP Piccinini, Founder of JP & Associates and Chairman of Vesuvius Holdings, its parent company.
According to Johnson and Piccinini, the decision to choose Lone Wolf came from a strong belief in the company and its platform. Like JPAR, Lone Wolf is deeply committed to improving the overall experience for the consumer, the next generation of real estate professionals, franchise owners and the brokerage.
“We’re confident that its platform, in the hands of our associates, will do exactly that,” said Piccinini. “Working together, we can continue to revolutionize the real estate experience in Texas and across the United States.”

Buyers are out in full force this fall, increasing the demand for homebuying in all four regions of the country.
According to the latest ShowingTime Showing Index,
“Home showing activity was up again nationwide with a 4.6 percent rise in traffic, as the traditionally slow fall season began with a marked boost in buyer interest.”
Buyers clearly have the right idea, as mortgage rates have dropped over a full percentage point since the fall of 2018. They’ve hovered in a historically low range since this summer, making the overall cost of homeownership significantly more attractive and affordable.
Here’s the breakdown of how ShowingTime reports current buyer traffic patterns across the country:
“The West Region, which until August had experienced 18 consecutive months of flagging home buyer traffic, lead the four regions in year-over-year improvement with an 8.9 percent increase in buyer activity.
The South followed with a 6.4 percent increase, the largest such improvement in the region since April 2018, with the Northeast Region’s 5.6 percent increase the next largest among the four regions.
The Midwest’s more modest 0.8 percent year-over-year growth rounded out the nation’s promising month.”
