Hi lovlies, I have been trying to find the right person or company to build a Wordpress real estate blog for me and teach me how to own and operate it. How to keep it fed and watered, besides just blogging. That part I get obviously. But the real estate plug-ins and the format are, in general, co

Ah, the power of the Internet. And my reverberating BPO posts from yesteryear. Let me start by saying that when business slowed down for me in 2007, I became the BPO queen. Until I basically quit them cold turkey in August 2009, I had completed about 1,200 and I have the PDFs to prove it (still).

We have a unique market in San Diego: along with Vegas and Phoenix, our market shot up astronomically in 2002 - 2005. And the overnight slow down for my listings at least started in 2007. And of course now the whole world sees a real estate downturn like many have not seen in decades. So as we
