RCP Celebrates 13 Years

Each year the RealtyCom team eagerly awaits our annual Anniversary to celebrate our business and hard-working team. Each September we’re able to have everyone across 6 states come together and kick up their heels and have some “play time” together.  Our 2019 event was no exception!

It’s not often our entire RCP team is together in one place, so a big thank you to our remote employees who traveled to our Marin headquarters to join in on the fun.

After a round of mingling with our fabulous folk, and photo booth hilarity, we were entertained with a roaring 20’s Murder Mystery interactive performance. Who knew we had so many great actors at RealtyCom!

We certainly have a lot to celebrate in 2019:

  • Our 70+ loyal clients (management of over 585,000 units)
  • Adding two new RCP team members, reaching 29 employees
  • First company wide training day on the San Francisco Bay
  • Expanding upon our services and creating new partnerships to enhance our Client services

  • Managing 150+ active construction projects

FCC Update: Competitive Access to Multiple Tenant Environments, Partial Preemption of San Francisco Mandatory Access Ordinance and OTARD

Rush Blakely, President RealtyCom Partners

A Conversation with Rush Blakely

The FCC has been busy formulating and opening comments to new broadband regulations. We sat down with Rush Blakely, President of RealtyCom Partners to discuss some of the recent happenings.

Q:  Let’s talk about the recent FCC Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (“NPRM”).  What is the NPRM?

A:  The NPRM seeks comment from industry and other stakeholders on what rules the FCC should consider to promote competition in Multiple Tenant Environments (“MTE’s”) – including multifamily and commercial buildings.  The FCC is looking into certain types of agreements between providers and owners, specifically whether agreements that contain revenue sharing or provide for exclusive use of a provider’s home-run, are barriers to broadband competition in MTE’s.  Further, the FCC seeks comment on certain types of rooftop and distributed antenna system agreements.  Several of these items and more were brought up by the FCC in their Notice of Inquiry in 2017 on which, RealtyCom, NMHC and many multifamily owners filed comments.

Q:  What is RealtyCom’s view on the NPRM?

A:  Like the NMHC and other multifamily owners and associations, we feel the marketplace is working and providing residents with the choice of […]

mDTA vs. Set Top Box Solutions for Fitness Equipment

Most new residential apartment complexes include many amenities, including lounge areas, game rooms, conference rooms, sky decks, pool areas and, of course, a fitness center. Most fitness centers include at least some equipment with integrated screens. Over the past few years, the screens have increased in size and picture quality and have multiple features. In order to take full advantage of these features, the equipment needs both a live cable television feed as well as access to a high-speed Internet connection.

Once the fitness center design is complete and long before the fitness equipment order is placed, RealtyCom begins to conduct many conversations with our Clients and their vendors to create the best telecom solution for the fitness center plan. This telecom plan depends on the courtesy/complimentary accounts provided within the fully executed provider agreements, which features the Clients want activated and the equipment manufacturer they plan to use. A few things we focus on are:

  1. How many fitness machines with integrated screens?
  2. Do you want to show live cable television on these screens?
  3. What kind of fitness machines are you installing (brand/vendor)?
  4. Will the equipment have Wi-Fi capabilities?
  5. Will you be using an AV planner? Will that vendor be installing […]
