Welcome NYT’s readers! April 30, 2008

I had a wonderful conversation with Stephanie Rosenbloom a few days ago and was thrilled to help her out with her story about using social networks (and Facebook in particular) for business purposes.
In the story, she mentioned my internet marketing seminars for real estate professionals as well as the associated Facebook group for 4RealzEd.

RCG Intermission to bring you …… April 18, 2008

…..2″ of snow and rising in Snohomish County. Ummm, isn’t it April 18th, 2008, not mid February? Stevens Pass ski area closed a wee bit too early! If you can make it to our place, the hot chocolate is brewing, the fireplace is on and the kids are heading out to play [...]

Through March the Space Needle has been offering free evening tickets to the top and cheap drinks. It’s the last weekend, so go get your drink on! And be sure to print out the ticket so you don’t have to pay $15 for the elevator ride.

Seriously in 2005 when the housing market was positioned to go UP, Seattle Bubble started the Gloom and Doom Blog.
Now after it has DOUBLED in some places against their predictions of Bubbles Popping, [...]

How difficult is it to find a good rental in Seattle? January 6, 2008

I have a few “Google alerts” set up to be notified when certain terms are published on the web, such as Rhonda Porter, Mortgage Porter and West Seattle.   Tonight, the West Seattle Google alert pointed me to someone who is looking to rent a 2 bedroom home with “a soul” for up to $2800.

Here’s to a shimmering ‘08 December 31, 2007

For some sad reason, right as a year is close to screeching to a halt, I can’t help but utter the phrase “good riddens.” It rolls off my tongue almost perfunctorily. Each year has its highs and lows, and this year was no exception. 2007 kicked off in morbid fashion when my mother was almost [...]

Where are the coyotes in Seattle? December 27, 2007

The answer: everywhere. An especially instructive mashup would be coyote sightings and missing cats (via Craigslist?). I saw one running in my neighborhood a couple of weeks ago and found a raccoon two doors down last night.
