Buying wisely in any market October 25, 2006
I find that most people who track countywide stats, looking for bubbles and market trends, are not people who are buying and selling property. Anyone who is actually buying or selling property knows, that countywide stats tell you both everything and nothing. It is in the small subsections of any given market that [...]
Permeating Self-Promotion October 2, 2006
Here’s a few stories from around the real estate blogsphere I found interesting…

Phil is obviously have some fun in Boise, although others may find his anatomy of a listing he won’t take more relevant to recent RCG conversations…

Jonathan sends out a blogger’s prayer and some really nice words about RCG.. Thanks!
Fortunately, I ran into [...]
Buyer Agency Agreements September 15, 2006
Is there a difference between dogs and cats? When you take out a leash, a dog usually gets all happy because he knows he is going to go outside. When a cat sees a leash he usually has the opposite reaction (some exceptions, of course) and says, no way I am going [...]
Top 10 List of Real Estate Lists August 26, 2006
That’s right, I’m going meta-meta. Or better yet, I’m going mega meta (unlike Greg who went mini meta! ).
Hanan’s irregular list of new real estate blogs. Beautiful idea, perfectly executed. It is interesting to note that almost none of blogs from his first installment are still around writing interesting content…
10 [...]
Why isn’t my house SOLD yet? August 11, 2006
You have to be in the top three of your “price tier”. Being at the high end of your “price tier” is better than being at the bottom of your “price tier”.
Photos must all be good photos and must be ordered in “hook order”.
Stop looking at what is for sale and stop [...]

Gone Wiki April 23, 2006
A little less than a month ago, I released the Rain City Guide Wiki and I’ve been very impressed with the results so far… I’ve had quite a few local real estate professionals add themselves to the (free) directory that I’ve set up and even a few, like Grier Smith and Chuck Reiling, add [...]
What a week! April 20, 2006
My family and I spent the past week scoping out appropriate neighborhoods in Ventura County! No matter where we choose to live in Southern California, it will definitely be a major change from our way of life in Seattle…
As I spent most of the week away from the internet (I did have a BlackBerry, [...]
Adding Some Sun to Rain City Guide April 11, 2006
I’m extremely excited to announce that I’ve accepted a position with Move (HOMS) as the Director of Consumer Innovations.
Until recently, Move was known as HomeStore and they (we!) are the people who run Realtor.com, HomeBuilder.com, RentNet, Welcome Wagon, and a few other sites… The idea behind the Move brand is that we’ll be [...]
What to Look For In Your Real Estate Blog Stats April 2, 2006
I’m sad to report that we weren’t made an unbelievable offer for RCG, and we have no plans to change our name to either “Google’s Rain City Guide” or “Rain Zity Guide”.
And now that it is April 2nd, I thought I’d get back to work by giving some advice on what to look [...]
