HowTo: Create an Online Community July 16, 2007

Step 1… I wish it were so simple I could give a step-by-step process!
My take is that creating vibrant community is tough and there is obviously no simply step-by-step method that would work. However, my experience is that I get the most out of RCG when I focus on making sure that [...]

Inman has Gone Blog Wild February 26, 2007

and it is a good thing!
Looks like they just published the first of a 4-part series on real estate blogging (only by subscription after today!). Lots of good stuff from some of today’s heavy hitters!

2nd Day @ Inman July 28, 2006

For many, “Pressing the Flesh” (talking with potential clients/competitors/vendors/media/etc) is the most valuable part of any conference, and for better or worse, the most valuable part of my day yesterday was spent connecting up with others.

Want to live in the Golden State? Bring lots of Evergreen State money. June 7, 2006

I recently returned from my almost annual vacation in beautiful California to visit my family and a few famous real estate bloggers (Dustin & Andy). And it was interesting to note what I learned about real estate in the Golden State during my two weeks down there…
Non surprises 
Bay Area real estate is still expensive. That wasn’t surprising at all. It’s [...]
