The Problem With Real Estate Blogging

Share

I have one big problem with real estate blogging:  I can’t blog about the most interesting things that happen in the course of my day in real estate. 

My personal policy of leaving current and recently closed transactions off of my blog leaves me with a conundrum.  The best stories go untold so that involved parties don’t have to read my site and wonder, “Is she talking about me?”

Tempting as it may be, I don’t blog about the moldy pudding cup I just found in their refrigerator.   Nor will I post about how someone’s agent never returns my calls.    The sellers whose home languished on the market for well over a year because they were not ready to hear my advice on pricing and short sales when the market was better are safe from reading about themselves.  They are left to feel like crap on their own because they are now facing foreclosure.

So there is my problem.  The best stories go untold.
