...well, I think if you don't blog now, you may miss the boat when something leapfrogs blogging.
Either that or your laptop might fall off your lap.
Seriously.

I love the internet, but I forget how much time goes by once I get on. It is also like going to the store for one item and then doing all your shopping. I love all the information and just keep clicking away. There must be a name for that, OC maybe? What will we be like in the future; just arms and head, something out of a Scifi movie? I just upgraded my laptop to Broad Band so I think it's all over now. I don't have a Blackberry yet waiting to see the next generation. What will it do next? Great time we are living in. I wonder if I see a real estate office on Mars? more...
I recently took a hit in rankings with Google, so I'm working on ways to get my site back up on the front pages.
From reading discussions on Inman and other blogs, I now know I need to concentrate on getting backlinks from commenting and directories.
What are the best directories (like dzom.org) to register a real estate blog?
Thanks,

Today I’d like to share an emotional story we received from Stephane, a real estate investor just starting up, looking to find his first property. I am withholding onto last name for privacy purposes. So, here we go…
I have been using several websites looking for foreclosures and other possible deals. I had about 50K to start with and I was looking at a fixer-upper, SFH 2 or 3 bedrooms, something in need of some repairs that can command a high price discount, even a foreclosure. more...
Any mortgage bloggers want to be a guest contributor on my blog ?

Riffing off of Jay's RSS post about the copious number of feeds many of us read - I've been trying to find a way to aggregate some of the real estate blogs and determine what others are reading.
One way I'd like to try this is by using a new service called Toluu - what follows is a description of the service and what it does, but if you want an invite, please email me. jim@realcentralva.com

From the developer -
I have also included a description of Toluu below and a Link to Louis Gray's review of the site which walks through the main points of the app. more...
Hello again!
I was just curious how many of you use guest authors on your blog? I try to write every day on my reverse mortgage blog but it's tough. I have been thinking about trying to bring on some guest contributors but wanted to see if anyone had experience doing that or having guests write on your blog. Are there any networks of guest blog writers out there?
Let me know your experiences, i'm interested to see who does what..
Thanks,

I'm assuming that most people in this group use an RSS reader to read blogs. (That may not be a safe assumption....)
Was curious as to how many RSS feeds folks are subscribed to.
I use Google Reader and have .... 425 feeds. Seems ridiculous, but it is what it is.
I don't understand what is happening in the marketplace. Buyers are taking for ever to buy and sellers thinl their house is worth more than the other houses in the area. A lot of the sellers I talked to already took out their equity in their homes and wonder why they can't get what they want fot their home. I see what they mean when they say "YOUR HOME IS WORTH LESS THAN YOUR MORTGAGE" Now you tell me who is at fault for the downfall in housing??????????????????????????????????????????????
How many blogs do you have? Contribute to? Can you get "over-exposed" by too much blogging? (not to mention burned out!)
In addition to my main blog, I also contribute to AgentGenius.com, HomeGain's Blog and GeekEstateBlog.com. And NARWisdom! (thanks Jim!)
One more and I think my head will explode...
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to introduce myself. I"m pretty new here, it looks like the site is pretty new itself. Not sure if you all have the same issues with some of the sections as me?
Anyways, I just wanted to introduce my Reverse Mortgage blog. I try to update articles every day but it's tough. If you have any comments I would appreciate them, and if you had anything you would like to see on the blog feel free to email me. I have a lot of things planned for the site in future that should be pretty neat as well so remember to bookmark it or join our email list.
Thanks! more...
Would love some input on my blog at
Lake Powell Real Estate Blog
This is my first venture into blogosphere but have managed a couple of static sites in the past. This is a whole new ball game.
I just started the blog, so some of the static pages are, as of yet, without content. I am in the process of getting my AZ RE license so two more weeks and I'll be official in Arizona and Utah. more...
I've been blogging for several months, but I haven't had many readers or comments. My intended audience is prospective buyers and sellers of residential real estate . What is best way to promote my blog and build readership?
Are things getting better in your market? more...
Can anyone here point me to a real good example of a brokerage using WP as a company site? You know, something more along the lines of having static pages with great graphics and a blog incorporated.
Hello everyone,
I recently made a post about how to calculate ROI for blogging. It was inspired by last month's homegain.com kerfuffle. I'd appreciate any feedback or commentary at the Union Street blog. more...

*Surely* there is a way to take advantage of this little corner of cyber-space?
Will this be sucked into cyber never-never land?
Not sure what to do with this. Just what some of us need, another social network thingy.
But let's give it a whirl and see what happens.
Anyone have any thoughts, ideas or suggestions on what to do with this group?
So here we have yet another "social network" thingy.
What shall we do with it? Ideas, thoughts, suggestions?
