So, I write on Active|Rain… generally 10 posts a week… I know, I want the points, but it also keeps me disciplined. I write 7 posts a week for LaneBailey.com… again, one post a day is WAY easier for me to do that any other number because if I slack off the momentum, I [...]

Wow. I don’t know what else to say, but… Wow.

Back around the end of June, I found out that the Fox 5 iTeam wanted to shoot a segment in one of my listings, 9010 Brixham Court in Suwanee. At first I only knew that it was about home managers and live in stagers. [...]

Jon Washburn at Active|Rain keeps a list of real estate blogs that he updates monthly.  The list is based on ranks from Compete and Alexa, and while informal and non-exhaustive is pretty cool.  The numbers are in and…

Outside.In is a website devoted to neighborhood news.  I’ll be sending my feeds there.  Currently there are only feeds coming in from major media, but I think we will start to see more blogs and other media geo-tagging their content.

Of course, this is in addition to Localism, which is a site dedicated to hyper-local content, [...]

You’ve seen the commercials.  They are all over cable TV, and as a buyer or seller, it is an interesting idea…

Today was an interesting day.

Randy Travis of Fox5 here in Atlanta was on location on one of my listings, 9010 Brixham Court in Suwanee, shooting some video for a story about a vacant home staging service.  The home in question has a property manager from Showhomes of Atlanta.  There isn’t a problem with this home.

But, [...]

Yep…  I will be mailing the eNewsletter today.  I have found a solution and am bypassing the system that I was using before…
If you are curious…
I had been using a WordPress Plug-in called ShiftThis…  and it was neat in that I could highlight a few posts, and in about three minutes have a newsletter ready [...]

Earlier today I had a conversation with a reporter from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution about real estate market values in Gwinnett County.  He is working on a story about the effects to the market last year and wanted a “from the trenches” perspective.  We had a great conversation for over an hour.

There were a few things [...]

A couple of things have happened recently that have had me thinking about this… so I’m going to spill some beans.

I read… I read a lot!  I had a current list of about 30 blogs that I follow.  Some only post occasionally, others post 10 or 15 posts each day.  Going to all of these [...]

I heard two interesting points on the news today.  First, the screaming-stay-tuned-after-the-break headline…
Foreclosure filings skyrocket 65%
And then the less hyped statistic…
One home is 500 in some stage of the foreclosure process
That means that 0.2% of homes are somewhere in the foreclosure process.  That means that previously it had been 0.12%.
Does that sound as ominous?
