Somehow I got on another list of real estate blogs, which I appreciate – but maybe there are only 12 left?
The author has been a realtor in Killeen, Texas, but in April went to work for Zillow’s ibuyer division:

Two Comments:
The #1 blog is run by a ReMax agent in Massachusetts. The example given is his post on the Top Lies Real Estate Agents Tell Home Sellers to Get a Listing.
He puts open houses on his list, due to the risk of theft, and that any buyer who want to see the home will do it by appointment too, making open houses unnecessary. A couple of realtors objected in his comment section, and he berated them for some reason.
The only time I’ve had a theft at an open house was in 2003 when we lost a Vicodin perscrption in Solana Beach. I’ve done hundreds of open houses since, and never had a problem. The big benefit I experience is having the Fear of Loss kick in with the attendees, which makes them hurry up and make an offer – and usually a better one at that, so they don’t lose it.
The other point was that he put me on the B2B list, suggesting my blog is tailored to agents?
His site, bubbleinfo.com, features more than just real estate blog posts. He frequently talks about the big picture stuff going on in real estate, and brings a refreshing and analytical approach.
I’d love to get feedback on whether the content here is too focused on agents. I think I talk about what agents do in order to help educate consumers, but if it comes off as too much agent stuff, I’d like to know it.
I work in a vacuum here! Help me out if you can.
The big picture stuff is fascinating. Please keep it up.
Ok, thanks – I appreciate the support!
If agents read this blog too, then fine. But my goal is to reach the consumers, and hopefully demonstrate my skills in a way that you hire me.
Funny that some of these blogs have exactly the same posts. Either they’re copying each other or there’s some eternal fount of real estate posts everyone (else) drinks from…
You do have more big picture agent oriented posts than in the old days. Video walk throughs of scary looking houses with comedic banter is more consumer friendly than discussions of how the broker business is morphing (Zillow, Compass, etc). Not that it isn’t really interesting, but it’s less likely to appeal to buyers/sellers or people just looking for a little light in the dark.

They were more fun to do too!
But those days are over, and I had to choose between shutting it down or try to produce new content that would still be relevant and/or worth doing/reading.
It’s a retail market with no permission to push the boundaries.
I’ve had to secure the old videos, but maybe I should bring them back?

I sold that for $201,000 in 2009. It sold for $270,000 in 2013, and it sold again in December, 2018 for $361,000.

I appreciate the insight you bring to the table and I always recommend your site (and service) to anyone I talk to about local real estate!
One minor quibble on the new format: mobile Chrome has the Post Headers as a smaller font, it would be better to have them a larger font size

Is $1,000,000 ok?

Thanks Jared, and I see what you mean on the font size. I’ll submit for a change!
JtR….
I keep checking your blog daily. So, what you are doing is working.
I receive propaganda flyers from other agents on a daily basis……showing me the latest “numbers”. But, it doesn’t mean anything unless those numbers can be put into context. That is why I enjoy your blog. Front line analysis!
one last request……wear a mic when doing your videos! more witty banter and classic cars…….where did all the ice cream trucks go??
Thank you!
Did you say muscle cars? Here you go:
