If you’re thinking about blogging about real estate
Read Pat’s post first.Blogging is currently touted as real estate marketing’s magic bullet, but almost every new real estate blogger doesn’t realize that the impact of blogging lies in its ability to build a social and informative relationship with its readers….The brand new real estate blogger, knowing nothing about blogging culture, often uses the blog construct as a kind of daily loudspeaker trumpeting their business prowess.Blogging is work – writing, reading, participating, educating, being social without being necessarily intrusive … it’s not another forum to post how good you are (or want to be).This is one of my definitions of success – I received an email question the other day from a reader…. I’d like to think that I’m doing something right to receive this postscript -P.S.- “Why me?”… Because, I am an avid reader of your blog (realcentralva) and I come away with the impression that you are:1- smart2- well-informed3- a person who believes in ethics (this seems like a question about ethics…)I don’t see a static website or a purely self-promotional blog accomplishing spurring that email.
A match day loss and possible substantial gain
Received this morning from a client who was anticipating Matching at the University of Virginia – Unfortunately I matched at my second choice not my first … definitely a bit disappointed but still excited to get the next part of my life started. THANK YOU for being such a wonderful resource for me these last few months – I have learned a lot… and I appreciate the time you spent with me.
Media appearance – WINA this afternoon and a brief Charlottesville market update

It’s Sweet Sixteen time in the Blog Brawl
And so goes the next round of the Blog Brawl…. Virtual beers are on the house (and if I make it to the Finals, I might start offering real beer at a location of my choosing – perhaps Blue Mountain or Starr Hill)Those of you at large companies, feel free to forward this post on to your friends and family so that you may all vote for me here. One IP address allowed.Is it possible, or appropriate to call on the cVillains to vote for me? What say you?
Media appearance in Charlottesville on Monday afternoon
I’ll be on Coy Barefoot’s show on Monday afternoon at 5 o’clock, likely from about 5:07 to 5:30. I imagine we’ll be discussing the state of the Charlottesville real estate market, possibly buyer and seller psychologies, market statistics and anything any callers might call in and ask about.Unfortunately WINA – 1070AM – doesn’t offer live streaming, but hopefully the show will be on CPN.
RealCentralVA is #30 real estate blog
How ’bout that? They found most of the real estate blogs I read, but BHB is notably missing.
