Launched in 1999, ZipRealty Inc. was founded on the belief that selling or buying a home could be faster, easier and more efficient. Utilizing the power of the Internet, ZipRealty has streamlined the real estate process and has passed along significant savings for consumers. We caught up with Richard Sommer (Former CEO of ZipRealty) at Real Estate Connect, to see what changes he sees on the horizon.

This is a total waste of video, can’t hear one thing.
Thanks for wasting my time. Do everyone a favor and take this down.
Sommer isn’t CEO of Zip anymore, who is he speaking in behalf, just some guy who used to have a stick in the fire?

J.P.,
Thanks for the feedback. We are aware of the poor sound quality and apologize for your inability to hear the entire conversation. We have made a note to ensure that the levels are properly situated prior to posting in the future.
As you know, Mr. Sommer is a respected leader within the real estate and mortgage industries, having served not only as the CEO of ZipRealty, but also held major executive roles at HomeGain.com, Realtor.com, IndyMac Bank and Move.com. It would prove wise to allow everyone who’s listening to hear him speak.
As a result, I have transcribed the interview in its entirety and extend an invitation for you to view it at:
