Today we are adding contributor number 13, James Hsu<\/a>:<\/p>\n

James Hsu is a Realtor and Real Estate Investor working in suburban Seattle. From math to computer science to medicine to web development, James may be the whole Realtor 2.0 package personified.<\/p>\n

These capsule biographies are cruel in their brevity, so here is what James said in his own behalf:<\/p>\n

I’m a Realtor in the greater Seattle area (Mill Creek to be specific). Trained in the art of math and computer science (and a few years in pre-med), I spent a number of years in web development and then jumped into the telecom world doing product development for a major carrier. When I realized my life had become the script out of Office Space, I turned what I had been doing as a hobby (real estate investing) into my new career path. Outside of real estate, my wife and I have a two-year old son and I’m learning about commercial properties. I’ve found that the numbers game that I love is much more complicated and fun in the commercial world. However, it’s the people in residential sales that makes me smile at the end of a 12-hr work day. When I have time, my other interests are playing sports and video games.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

James has his own weblog, Northwest Real Estate Update<\/a>, which is how we discovered him. James puts everything through a rigorous analysis, but his writing is always thoughtful, readable and fun. We’re honored to have him on board.<\/p>\n
