Consumers can ‘Ask a Realtor’

A new "Ask a Realtor" service from Realtor.com allows site visitors to submit questions about buying or selling a home, mortgage issues and local market trends, and receive a response from a Realtor by e-mail.

Answers are e-mailed directly to the consumer by a Realtor.com moderator, and will be archived on Realtor.com Blogs for future reference, listed chronologically and by subject. Questions can be posed anonymously or with a request for a follow-up by the responding Realtor, Realtor.com said.

Most Realtors participating in the program are members of the Realtor.com Blogs community, Realtor.com said.

Realtor.com announced the program on Aug. 25, and has issued separate press releases publicizing the participation of Realtors Kevin Kieffer in San Francisco, Tony Lazzari in Chicago, Allan Glass in Los Angeles, Ines Hegedus-Garcia in Miami, and David Welch in Orlando.

Other contributors include Stu Barnes, Dawn Barrier, Dave Congdon, Karen Crystal, Amy Downs, Sonya Loose, Tim McBrayer, Michael Nelson, Jonathan Osman, Bob Phillips, Arlene Skinner, Bob Stahl, Scott Voak and Garreth Wilcock.
