We’re adding another new BloodhoundBlogger today — and I’m not done yet.
Today’s addition? A well-known name in the RE.net, Jim Duncan:
Jim Duncan is a third-generation Realtor, a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute and a long-time real estate weblogger. He is active within the NAR, and has made a name for himself as an ethical lodestone in real estate.
Jim was one of the first webloggers to make contact with us when we started BloodhoundBlog. He is a very thoughtful man — a man full of thought — and he is never hard to find, since he’s always on the side of the angels.
I think Jim is one of the most important voices on the RE.net, period, particularly on the subject of Realtor ethics. So why didn’t I invite him to join us a long time ago? Pure thoughtlessness on my part. For the most part we have added people by self-selection, and I have tried to avoid stepping on toes. (Honest, I have!)
In any case, I finally caught a clue and thought to ask, and Jim was gracious enough to accept.
Last night in email to me, Brian Brady pointed out that we had had 15 posts by nine contributors in the past two days. We’re not trying to overwhelm you, but we are trying to do what we came here to do. More and more, you will have to learn to treat the enblogged globe like television, tuning in to what works for you and switching away from what doesn’t. I know we are not for everyone. But for real estate professionals who care about the ideas that will drive our industry in the twenty-first century, we need to be a hot-button on your remote control.
And if it all gets to be too much for you, you can tune out everything except the Jim Duncan Channel.

Jim’s blog is one of the first I ever found. He started his “Hyper Local” blog long before anyone had thought up that term. When I started interviewing bloggers for the Fiesta, Jim has among the original dozen or so invites I sent out.
Awesome addition Greg.

Anyone blogging from the city of my birth is a worthy addition.
Jim however, would be worthy if he was blogging from Pluto.
