Examples of Different Real Estate Blogs
If you were a part of the Free Blogging Webinar that I hosted this morning, I told you that I would post all the links that I referenced in the call. Here are the links, along with a few other examples that I find useful.
Consumer-Focused Real Estate Blogs
Here are some blogs that are written specifically for the consumer: The home buyers and sellers, the investors and/or relocating folks.
- St. Paul Real Estate Blog
- Miami Real Estate Blog- Miamism
- Colorado Springs Real Estate Connection
- Pasadena CA Real Estate Blog
- Dayton OH Real Estate and Mortgage Blog
- Eastbay Real Estate Blog
- Long Beach CA Real Estate Blog
- Poinciana FL Real Estate Blog
- Rain City Guide – Seattle WA Real Estate Blog
Agent to Agent Oriented Blogs
These blogs are written by folks in the Real Estate industry FOR people in the Real estate industry. These are blogs that I read, but most of this content is not aimed at the consumer.
Marketing Focused Blogs
Some blogs are usually designed to help people (real estate agents) in their business. Most marketing focused blogs are written and maintained by people who offer services and support to real estate agents. Again, these blogs are not aimed at the buying/selling/investing/relocating consumer.
Industry Blogs
An Industry Blog is a blog about the Real Estate Industry. Some of the information is useful for consumers and some is useful strictly for real estate agents.
- Zillow Blog
- Inman News Blog
- Realtor Dot Com Blog
- VARBUZZ – Official Blog of the Virginia Association of Realtors®
For those of you who participated in the FREE blogging webinar, thank you!! For those of you who experienced technical difficulties, I apologize.
I will be supplying a follow-up email to all of you who joined (or attempted to join) me today that will go over some of the key points of the webinar.
Also, I know that we had more questions than time, so please feel free to email me your questions and I will do my best to answer each question by the end of this week. You can send an email to: MarianaWagner@kw.com
Have a great week!

Computer Cord Clutter BE GONE!
If you are reading this then you have a computer. You may even have a printer, a modem, a phone line, a cable line, speaker wires and maybe even a webcam wire, camera UBC wire and a few other wires floating around your desk area.
Chances are you have cord clutter.
One of my favorite non-real estate and non-blogging blogs is www.Unclutterer.com … I read everything they ever write.
I am a high I and a high D … so clutter is a permanent battle with me.
Unclutterer.com just posted an excellent way to manage computer cord clutter:
Use your old “membership cards” to organize your computer cords. Brilliant!
Other “cable and cord organizer” posts include:
Creative uses for velcro cable ties – use them for cords and even sandals!
Simple charging station – sweet product to help with all of your chargers…
Make your own earbud caddy – Because we all love music when we work… right?
Hide your desk’s power strip – Great for desks that people can see under easily.
Interesting way to hide powercords – and decorative too!
Reader suggestions: More ways to cure cable clutter
