Larry A. Whited, Sr. CRB, CRS, GRI

President and CEO Larry Whited has been a fixture in the Cincinnati Real Estate Market since the early 1970’s. After completing his voluntary service in the US Marines, Larry returned to his hometown of Hamilton Ohio, and took computer classes. As a young programmer, Larry learned about systems, and process, but also learned his passions lie elsewhere.

Larry embarked on his real estate career in 1972 and never looked back. He quickly became one of the top producing agents in Butler County, and acquired his broker’s license. Larry managed top operations for other companies throughout the 70’s and 80’s, rising to the position of North Regional Manager for the top local brokerage in the area, prior to its merger with Coldwell Banker.

With his background in process and his military discipline, Larry grew frustrated with the inherent inefficiencies of the traditional brokerage. In the early 1990’s Larry decided to leave management and focus exclusively on working as an agent for a local Re/Max franchise.

It was at Re/Max, where he won numerous sales awards, that Larry formulated the vision of a new kind of brokerage, one in which efficiency was designed in, and where clients could benefit as much as the agents and brokers.

In 2002, Larry realized that technological advancement and consumer pressure for low commissions had finally reached an alignment that would facilitate an all virtual brokerage designed to maximize client value. www.WebMLS.net was formed in 2002, and went operational in January 2003. Since the launch, Larry has been published in numerous newspaper and magazine articles and submitted testimony as an expert witness in the FTC’s case against the NAR.

Locally, Larry has become known as the champion of low commission full service real estate, enabling clients throughout Ohio to save nearly $3 million in commissions in the past 5 years.

Larry formed maxUnet in 2006 as the mechanism for franchising the WebMLS.net model nationally. Larry decided not to launch maxUnet until the real estate market had appeared to reach its lowest point and began offering franchises in late 2008.

    In some states the owner has liability if they clean the snow and someone slips and falls. If they do not clean it the liability is on the person who who took the risk and fell. Makes no since I know but that is the case law and states rights issues. I wish many laws and licensing were made national, but that will never happen. Larry A.

  • Brokers from last century
    By Larry Whited Sr.May 19, 2010 - 5:30am

    Brokers from last century continue to hire anyone who passes the breath test to fill the empty desks to hopefully cover their overhead. That will not change until brokers accept the reality that the old biz model is dead. It was great while it lasted but it is dead. Continuing to resuscitate it only prolongs the pain for everyone. NAR and the state and local associations must accept the new reality of fewer members and adjust and consolidate accordingly. Youngstown Ohio is a good example of how. They realized 3 years ago they were a 50,000 city and would never be a 100,000 steel town again. They have bought and leveled entire city blocks and turned them into city parks. Much cheaper than all the police and fire calls to those blighted neighborhoods. We need one state wide MLS system for each state and one regional board for each region instead of all these little kingdoms that we all pay too much to support. We need to unplug the life support system on the old model and embrace this century’s paradigm or we will all be replace by a real estate Craig’s or Angie,s list. Outstanding Article! Larry A.

    By Larry Whited Sr.May 5, 2010 - 5:58am

    These “expert” predictions are not much more than someone throwing a dart at numbers on the wall and then creating support data for the number they hit. I read them but I do not believe them most of the time. It took a few years to create this mess. It will take a few years to recover. Plan accordingly. Larry A.
