We’re adding a new contributor today, Sean M. Broderick, CCIM:<\/p>\n

Sean Broderick is a real estate developer and a practicing commercial real estate broker, holding the coveted CCIM designation. His career has taken him from Florida to California, with a stint in minor league baseball.<\/p>\n

James Hsu, who has always had a lot on his plate, is expecting twins. For now at least his plate is laden with dinner for five, so he’s going on the back-burner for a while. His account remains active and he’ll rejoin us when he can.<\/p>\n

How do you get to be a BloodhoundBlog contributor? There’s no set formula, but a good rule of thumb is to bring us something we don’t already have. If you’re a Realtor in Phoenix, you would probably have to out-write me, out-wow-factor Russell and out-charm Cathleen to make the cut. Sean is a good writer with interesting points of view, but the fact that he’s a developer working the commercial investment side of the street makes him a unique contribution to our roster of contributors.<\/p>\n

If you write and reason very well, your chances with me are great. I care a lot about the diversity of viewpoints we bring to the marketplace of ideas, but first-quality writing covers a lot of ground with me. Even so, if you’re a top-executive at a major brokerage franchise or a Real Estate 2.0 start-up, you can come on board even if you get lost mid-alphabet. We’ve swung and missed three times at big-name contributors — all chickened out (or were compelled to chicken out) for corporate PR reasons — but we haven’t given up.<\/p>\n

What’s in it for you? Fame and influence. I say there are no rules for BloodhoundBlog contributors, but that’s no wholly true: We’re not in the business of selling anything except good ideas. Most commercial weblogging is done in pursuit of commercial objectives, but that’s at best a secondary pursuit here. We throw off dozens of hard clicks a day to our contributor’s home weblogs or web sites, and some of that may turn into business for them. But we attract around 1,200 unique Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
