No, Benn didn’t offer money, Italian food or fancy cars to get new authors on board, but Mariana Wagner and Athol Kay have both jumped on board despite not being bribed! We are so excited to add these two to the contributor sidebar- you are all in for a treat.
Athol Kay blogs from Bristol, CT and is best known for his series “Bad MLS Photo Of The Day”where he single-handedly raises the bar for MLS photos. He is also known for his “Feed Bag”that summarizes his favorite blog articles of the day (or week or hour as time permits). Athol is never scared of confrontation, has an amazing sense of humor and first caught our attention with his article “Redfin Consumer Bill of Rights Is McWeaksauce” way back in April.
Athol is like that extra kick of Bailey’s that people sneak into their coffee- makes you feel all warm and giggly but has a serious espresso side to it making it the perfect way to start the day!
Mariana Wagner is the Colorado Springs expert who knows the value of keeping her blog focused on local issues. We are very excited to hear Mariana’s take on national issues, especially regarding blogging and technology. Mariana is part of the Wagner i Team (we love this concept) and is a local RE tech/internet trainer and blog coach. Despite her love affair with the Internet, she somehow still has time for snowboarding!
Mariana is like that surprise you get when you see the boring white icing vanilla cake cut for the first time revealing that it’s actually chocolate underneath that icing (hooray- your favorite)!
Thanks for joining us Mariana & Athol- we look forward to seeing you two stir up the pot!

I’m glad I passed that math test. I don’t know who to Congratulate, Agent Genius for the genius choices or Athol and Mariana who have the absolute best sense of humor.
I can’t wait to read their contributions.

We’ve actually found a lovely summer cottage in Poinciana with the help of Broker Bryant.
Just not sure how to tell the misseses … missi? Not sure of the plural there.

That’s great. You can just send me a referral fee once you get settled in. (I know I didn’t earn it, I just want it.)
