I started this blog a few years ago in an effort to engage the Ravenna Park Community in dialogs about our neighborhood. It has provided me with a place to lean a little about blogging, to express some of my opinions and to make mention of various events that impact this part of Seattle.
Then along came the gigantic issue of the Sisley properties and what might become of them. I removed that topic from here and took it to a new blog site: Roosevelt-Ravenna Zoning Issues. That site has been more successful as far as reaching readers. I wanted it to be an open site where anyone with a stake in the future of Ravenna and Roosevelt development could post, not only comments, but also write articles and express their opinions in a more meaningful way. That has worked to a small degree and I hope it grows in the future. The future of those properties is the biggest issue confronting the community at this time. Please go there and tell us how you feel.
About a year ago I became very actively engaged with the Active Rain platform. Active Rain is a blogging site where real estate professionals from around the country meet, write blogs and discuss real estate trends, techniques, and technology. It is a fantastic site to learn how to blog. A second be equal branch of Active Rain is the advertising function where agents can post listings which they are marketing. The site is open to the public. Take a look.
As Active Rain further developed it incorporated a blogging method known as Community Pages. Start at activerain.com and search state, city, or neighborhood and you will be taken to the page where one of several local real estate professionals write about the neighborhoods in which they live and work. There is excellent local information there and a much better presentation than I have been able to muster here. Check out Ravenna Park.
Through Active Rain, I have learned something about networking and online networking. With that information I have just created a networking blog with four other professionals. A lender, and escrow person, an inspector and a title company representative. I'd like to have an appraiser, a stager, and possibly a few others join the group but haven't found them yet. We are known as the Puget Sound Real Estate Professionals and are attempting to raise and discuss issues of interest to buyers and sellers in the Puget Sound area. This site just began in January.
I work at Lake and Company Real Estate and we have an office blog: Lake at Home. I contribute there along with several other agents.
Another blogging site, Posterous caught my attention and I was interested enough to create a blog I call A Realtor's Diary. This is a site where I have fun or whine about how my days go.
Thanks for coming here. I've enjoyed it, but it is time to move forward. Blogging is the future of new, especially in the neighborhoods. And bloggers love company. Stop by one of my other sites and say hi once in a while. I'd love to hear from you.
