Though always searching for cool real estate blogs, once you’ve been looking for awhile the nuggets are discovered much less often. Happily I ran into one I’m sure many of you already know about. For those of you on the late bus along with me, I recommend you click over to Sacramento Real Estate Blog<\/a>. John Lockwood at times shows how to take transparency to new levels.<\/p>\n

His post promoting his newsletter is inspired. I Take It All Back<\/a> speaks for itself. His transparency in the post reviewing the past year<\/a> was a story I’ve seen repeated over and over. Yet, John lets us inside his head as he roams back and forth, struggling to discover just what he really wants<\/em> to do.<\/p>\n

John is smarter than the average bear, and funnier than the average blogger. Take a look, you won’t regret it. The guy is worth your time, I promise. He’s also faster than I am. Imagine my surprise to find a post, in part about a simple comment I made on his site yesterday.<\/p>\n

Seriously, take a look at this guy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
