I have a great affection for Daniel Rothamel of the Charlottesville Area Real Estate Blog<\/a>. He’s my kind of serious Realtor, devoted to doing the right thing no matter what the price.<\/p>\n

Plus which, he writes a lot, which scores very highly with me. Local real estate, national real estate, basketball, linguam latinam<\/i>, real estate reality-TV — nothing escapes his purview.<\/p>\n

The site is Typepad with its goofy trackbacks, but you can’t have everything. The pages are clean and readable.<\/p>\n

Here’s Daniel in action<\/a>:<\/p>\n

When I’m not practicing real estate, one of the things that I do is officiate basketball (I mentioned this once before). The letters from my officiating supervisors have been coming in, the rules clinics are coming up, and the season is on the horizon. All this got me thinking about the similarities between being a REALTOR and being a referee. Officiating has helped me tremendously when it comes to business, and vice versa. Here are some things I find similar about being a referee and being a REALTOR:<\/p>\n

1) Referees adhere to a code of ethics, too.<\/p>\n

2) For REALTORS, a well-managed transaction brings satisfaction. For the referee, it is the well-managed game.<\/p>\n

3) REALTORS must build trust with their clients, referees must do the same with coaches and players.<\/p>\n

4) Referees and REALTORS must possess and constantly improve upon their skills of interpersonal relations.<\/p>\n

5) The technology of the Internet is changing the way REALTORS conduct business, Internet and video technology is changing the officiating landscape.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
