What I digg in real estate blogs

These are a few of my favorite things…. This song echoes in my head this time of year. Specifically because every year my grandmother would play different songs from the Sound of Music on Christmas Eve. Inspired by this song of my youth, I would like to share with you a few of my favorite real estate and marketing blogs. These are the opinion leaders who spend innumerable hours reading, researching, and providing insight into this great industry…. With that in mind, these are a few of my favorite things… um’ blogs….
