Contrary to unpopular belief, Realtors in the Bloodhound Blog pool care about consumers. Oh, I know it’s hard to buy because YOU once had a Realtor not call you back or because you read one single article that got heated, or because the For Sale sign is still crooked in your neighbor’s yard. I am not a Realtor, so I write from a consumer’s point of view.<\/p>\n

From the consumer perspective, I feel that I can safely say that no one at Bloodhound lacks passion- be it lenders, Realtors, brokers or regular Joes (or Sallys) like me. There are a few Realtors that are not well informed, far behind the curve and still regurgitating the “buy\/sell now, the market is hot hot hot” crap from their Intro to Real Estate classes. <\/strong>None<\/strong> of those people are reading or writing for the BHB.<\/p>\n

If you read the nearly 2,000 articles written on the Bloodhound Blog, you’ll note that almost all of them are consumer focused even if the analysis upsets the few old school “buy\/sell now, the market is hot hot hot” stragglers by implying that the consumer comes first. The Bloodhound Blog stands for the consumer, not just in words printed on a screen but by perpetuating the idea that the industry should stay informed, and by that sharing of ideas creating a better informed Realtor or lender that in turn has protected their clients from the rare “buy\/sell now, the market is hot hot hot” junk.<\/p>\n

OF COURSE<\/strong> Realtors are also focused on their business (marketing, SEO, etc); without that task in the list of “To Dos” there would be no product to offer the clients that are supposed to be protected against an ignorant Realtor. Not focusing on business would, in essence, be not focusing on the consumer; therefore, the idea that an article about marketing as not consumer based is bunk.<\/p>\n

I don’t care about those “hot hot hot” Realtors- they may be doing just fine. What is upsetting is that anyone could possibly come into the den of Bloodhound and opine that everyone in the industry<\/em><\/strong> Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
