MRIS Retains Nationally Recognized Real Estate Analyst to Offer Regular Commentary and Analysis on Regional Housing Market Data

Miller is President and CEO of Miller Samuel Inc., a leading real estate appraisal and consulting firm. A well-regarded real estate commentator, who appears in national publications including the Wall Street Journal and the NY Times covering national and regional housing issues, he has been named "Best Online Real Estate Expert" by Money Magazine. Miller's stringent focus on neutrality has contributed to his position as one of the top 25 most influential real estate bloggers in the U.S.

"Real estate is a primary topic of conversation in living rooms and backyard BBQs-whether or not you're in the market to buy or sell," noted Miller, a Bethesda, MD native. "And real estate still represents one of the biggest financial decisions that can be made. Our goal is to make the information on the housing market more actionable for MRIS customers and the public-to analyze and interpret the data so buyers and sellers can make better informed decisions."

Miller is also the author of a series of real estate market reports with an annualized distribution in both print and Internet downloads of more than one million copies. These reports are widely used by local, regional, national and international media, as well as national and local lending institutions and government agencies.

John L. Heithaus, MRIS chief marketing officer, noted, "It is a major plus for MRIS customers to have someone of Jonathan Miller's stature on our team. His neutral approach to analyzing data, and getting to the heart of what it tells us about market conditions supports our mission to provide "real estate in real time " to our customers. His commentary will be a great asset to real estate agents, brokers and homebuyers in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan region and beyond."
