This is me from today’s Arizona Republic (permanent link). I wish I could deliver an SEO boost to the weblogs mentioned here, but I doubt that will happen. First, the paper didn’t create links for the web-based version of this story. And second, the Republic hides everything behind a for-pay wall within a few weeks.
Here are some blogs that stay on top of real estate
We publish a respected real estate weblog called BloodhoundBlog. In consequence, I am very aware of the goings-on in the real estate blogosphere.
A weblog, or blog, is a regularly updated Internet-based journal, in some ways akin to a diary. But a blog is also a conversation among the bloggers and their readers, who can comment on and discuss the blog entries.
But there is an even larger conversation going on, blog to blog, all of which are linking to each other and to the entire Internet. By following the links, you can explore an issue thoroughly.
There are dozens of excellent real estate blogs. Here are some I visit every day:
- Rain City Guide. Meta-brokerage mega-blog, a nice combination of very smart writers.
- The Real Estate Tomato. Color and zest, a savory combination concerned mainly with high-tech real estate issues.
- The Future of Real Estate Marketing. The daily bible of real estate technology.
- 360Digest. Marlow Harris is a serious mind. Not dour or joyless, but never frivolous or shallow. A voice commanding attention.
- Charlottesville Area Real Estate Blog. If Daniel Rothamel is the future of real estate, we’re in safe hands.
- Sellsius° blog. This is light opera, rarely grand opera, but it is deft and delightful.
- Real Central VA. Jim Duncan walks a fine line between local and global interest, between real estate customers and real estate industry insiders.
- Searchlight Crusade. Dan Melson ranks with me as one of the most informative people on the Internet. When he’s done with a topic, there is nothing more to be said.
- MoCo Real Estate News. Run by Mohave County Realtor Todd Tarson, another young agent who fills me with for hope for the future. Mohave County is booming, and Todd also has great insights into state-level real estate politics.
Visiting weblogs like these is the best way to stay on top of what is going on in the world of real estate.
