Marlow Harris’ 360 Digest weblog is a must-read feed. I say she’s serious, but she insists that her love of all things Elvis belies that. I say she’s serious anyway.
As with most good weblogs run by working Realtors, her site covers a lot of ground, but she seems to be more than unusually well wired-in to what is going on in the delicate dance between traditional and dot.com real estate companies. Reading her can be much more informative than prowling news sites.
If I have a complaint, it’s that she doesn’t write enough. But the quality of what she does write is so high that this seems almost like caviling.
Lots of interesting changes and business partnerships emerging lately. I wonder how many more opportunities are still available. I checked MSN and AOL, and they’re both already hooked up with Realtor.com. Prudential has a deal with Yahoo. Seattle’s Real Property Associates is running a feed directly to Trulia (I like watching what they’re doing, as co-owner Gordon Stephenson is on the Board of Directors at Zillow.) I don’t see any reason why our other two local players, John L. Scott and Coldwell Banker Bain couldn’t also run feeds to Google Base and Trulia, but they may have their own reasons not to…
WordPress. Very clean. Very tightly coded.

Well, I would write and post more if those darn Buyers would just find their own house and then go to my website and submit their offer electronically….. 🙂

I would have more time as well!
I would even offer to refund buyers 3/4 of my commission if they would do the inspection by themselves, find a real estate attorney to finish off the paperwork, negotiate all other remaining details via all parties (I’ll be nice and provide them with the sellers’, listing agent’s, escrow’s and the lender’s contact info) and then pickup their own keys at closing. Oh yah, and if they could also call me to tell me my commission check is ready, that’d be great.
(in case nobody noticed, I’m being REALLY sarcastic here)
