Sellsius° delivers 50 meaty posts in one marathon session.

Kris Berg’s daughter discovers that moment of intense exhilaration you only know in the instant after you just might have been killed — but survived.

Transparent Real Estate details a Realtor’s money-back guarantee.

Jay Thompson, The Phoenix Real Estate Guy, argues that we should raise the bar on real estate licensing. His post is thoughtful and comprehensive, very well documented. My own take is that we should get rid of real estate licensing laws altogether and let anyone who chooses to work in real estate brokerage compete on reputation — and on his or her ability to obtain Errors and Omissions insurance. The Leggy Blonde is Teacher’s Pet to three movers and shakers in the Arizona Association of Realtors, and they insist that Change Is Coming. What they want is what Jay is suggesting, an apprentice-level real estate license, with the apprentice having to hit certain targets to obtain a full salesperson’s license. What we’re likely to get is Designated Agency, which covers the broker’s behind while resolving absolutely nothing else.

Christine at NY Houses 4 Sale has a detailed run-down of her favorite real estate weblogs.

And if there is anything I’ve missed, Todd Tarson probably caught it before he lit out of town.

    I can’t schedule out a full day until Tuesday due to pending appointments. Tues or Wed…your pick. I’m asking Rudy to set the rules as in “a day” equals 24 hours and only one writer.

Inventing Real Estate 2.0

Welcome to BloodhoundBlog, the national real estate industry marketing and technology weblog written by, for and about real estate professionals. Better yet, welcome to the wired world of real estate. We are busily inventing Real Estate 2.0 – technology, marketing, service and salesmanship. Like all Bloodhounds, we are smart, frisky and fiercely independent. We've built a spot on the earth – beloved over all – where each one of us can be who we are, no matter who that might be. We are committed to an idea of excellence that will flush the bums, the con-men and the crybabies out of the real estate industry. If you yearn to have your failures excused, your moral lapses absolved or your boo-boos kissed, seek elsewhere. But if you are sick to death of mediocrity – welcome home. Read all about us, subscribe to our feed and steel yourself for the hunt. We work hard, we play hard, we learn everything we can – and we bow to no one.
