A West Seattle Conversation!

I’m extremely excited about tomorrow’s Rain City conversation!
I invite the entire RCG community to join us at 4pm on Tuesday for a conversation with Tracy Record, the local community expert who runs the West Seattle blog.
My plan is to talk with her about the vibe of West Seattle, what’s she’s learned running the blog and [...]

A while back I spelled Seatttle with…

three “t’s” on the sidepanel and was surprised just how much traffic it brought. Because I was more concerned with being professional than traffic, I fixed the type, but Mary just reminded me of the effectiveness of the error, so I thought I’d try it out again!
And if [...]

Wow! What a ride!

About an hour ago I walked out of Move’s offices for the last time as an employee. For those of you who’ve been around RCG for a while, you’ll remember that I took a position as Director of Consumer Innovations at Move with great enthusiasm back in April of 2006. Taking the [...]

Inman is Lead Investor in Curbed…

Congrats to Lockhart Steele for getting an infusion of cash ($1.5M to be exact) to expand Curbed to new cities.
In reading the NYT’s coverage, nothing really surprised me much until the last two paragraphs where Brad explains why he is one of the investors:
If the downturn lasts long enough, “everyone suffers,” [...]

I have no intention of turning this into…

a blog about southern California real estate, but I do have a non-fire related update from Southern California.
Brad Inman and I are going to be speaking at Beverly Hills REALTOR Association’s Head of High Office Tea this Thursday afternoon. From everything I can gather, it is going to be a pretty posh set-up [...]

One day every pothole will get its moment in the limelight

I think the running joke about blogs a couple of years ago was that belly button lint blogging was why most blogs would forever remain niche-y and unread. Today much of the “fantastical” thinking about locally-focussed blogs is that citizen journalists will report on everything (everything!) happening in their neighborhoods. When they look up from [...]

SEO Idea: Seattle Real Estate

I know from the comments and emails that a lot of people enjoy the occasional SEO tweak and update. My latest change (as of 10 minutes ago) was to replace the words “Home” in the main tab with “Seattle Real Estate” (Thank you Tim for the inspiration!).
As usual, [...]

From stirring to digging in one day…

Another day, another Redfin story:
The Northwest Multiple Listing Service has fined Redfin $50,000 and asked the company to stop publishing a popular blog in which the online real estate brokerage posted reviews of Seattle-area homes.
(”Asked” is probably a bit kind since the consequence of non-compliance was for Redfin to loose their ability to display [...]
