Not trying to scam my way onto anybody’s lists of ten phenomena or anything, but here are ten real estate weblogs that feed my hungry mind:
- Rain City Guide. Duh. Meta-brokerage mega-blog, a very nice combination of very smart writers.
- The Real Estate Tomato. Color and zest, a savory combination.
- The Future of Real Estate Marketing. The new look rocks, but it seems to be an of-less marriage with technology.
- 360Digest. Marlow Harris is a serious mind. Not dour or joyless, but never frivolous or shallow. A voice commanding attention.
- Charlottesville Area Real Estate Blog. If Daniel Rothamel is the future of real estate, we’re in safe hands.
- Sellsius° blog. I like these boys. It’s light opera, rarely grand opera, but it is deft and delightful. All this and linguam latinam, too.
- Real Central VA. Jim Duncan walks a fine line between local and global interest, between real estate customers and real estate mavens.
- Searchlight Crusade. Dan Melson ranks with me as one of the most informative people on the RE.net. I should link to him more often, except that when he’s done with a topic, there is nothing more to be said.
- moco real estate news. Todd Tarson is another young Realtor who fills me with for hope for the future. Plus which, he has great insights into Arizona state-level real estate politics.
- 4Realz. The best of the best, bar none. Requiescat in pacem. I’m left with my memories — and few dozen archived posts…
If your weblog isn’t here, it’s not because I don’t love it. There are dozens I read daily, and I could easily make another list of ten to rival this one. And maybe another after that one. Here’s the deal, though: This thing, our thing, is nothing compared to what it will be a year from now. We talk to each other a lot, and I’m not sure that’s going to change. But there are a lot of us ‘each others’ with a stake in this conversation, so it could be that the most important weblog in the RE.net, for now, is ActiveRain…

Let us be the first to howl “thank you”.
Always happy to feed a hungry mind.

And I will be the second. Thank you for grouping me with such quality company.

It’s an honor to be on a list like this. An honor to be among other great resources of information. Thank you for the kind words.
And thanks for the continued inspiration of work gathered here on this site.
Won’t be long till I have to come to Phoenix for some AAR thingy. I prolly owe you lunch. Market is soft right now, does Wendy’s work for you??
[...] Bloodhound Blog has a nice post about blogs that feed the hungry mind. He mentions yours truly as having a “serious mind. Not dour or joyless, but never frivolous or shallow.” I’m flattered. But obviously, he’s never seen this. [...]
Gentlebeings: The debt runs all the other way. Mike Price at Mike’s Corner was laughing at me for leaving him off, but he’s right, anyway. At 25 weblogs, I might be on the right side of virtue — for now.
[...] 21 reasons to bank on the Phoenix real estate market… Should serve as a great warning to agents writing about the bubble… Be prepared to take the issue on like Greg or don’t even go there… (and I simply can’t ignore his list of blogs that feed a hungry mind.) [...]
