I had a curious and pleasant surprise this morning while on my morning wander through cyberspace. I happened upon an article on the Real Estate Undressed website that announces two SoundBiteBlog consumer articles have been nominated for inclusion in this year’s Magnificent 7 Contest.
Rich (Sparky) Jacobson’s article on the Dark Side of Real Estate and Mark (Buckwheat) Flanders’ article on Option ARM’s have both been submitted as nominees to the contest. I was more than a little surprised. I was first surprised that Real Estate Undressed even knew SoundBiteBlog exists, and then surprised that our articles are considered good enough to be in the company of real estate authors of the caliber I found in the contest. It is very flattering. I had no idea that our articles had been nominated. I have no clue who nominated them. I haven’t heard anything from Real Estate Undressed. So, I guess I’ll have to send off an email requesting some information.

This is the first post of what will, hopefully, be a long series of articles. SoundBiteBlog.com is the creation of two guys who met in the Real Estate arena and became friends. Both of us drink too much coffee, love to laugh and are passionate about our families and our careers. Sparky is a Real Estate Agent and I, Buckwheat, am a Loan Officer.
If our plan works out this website will become the place to come for a little entertainment and alot of information. Although we will be taking a playful and slightly irreverant approach to our artices, both Sparky and I believe strongly in sharing knowledge. Many of the article we plan to post will be educational and informative. But not all. Some of our posts will be about things like crusty sea creatures.
The format of the site is….hmmm, well I guess we don’t really want one of those. Too restrictive! We will write whatever catches our attention that day. Or, we might write about what happens to be going on in the Real Estate industry or the Mortgage industry. We may even write about the trials and tribulations of having a career in Real Estate. No matter what we write, you’ll have a good read. And if you have something you want to find out more about, by all means, drop us a note or leave a comment. One of us will address your topic.
Don’t think for a minute that Sparky and Buckwheat are two amatuers who decided a website might be fun. We do think a website of our own will be fun, but we aren’t amatuers. Both of us are very active members of ActiveRain, a national network of Real Estate Professional. As a matter of fact, a little horn-tooting is going to happen now. Rich and I are the top ranked Realtor and Loan Officer in Washington State. And we are well-known nationally because of the 300 articles we wrote for the ActiveRain network.
This website started over cups of Starbucks coffee. Nobody knows how it will end. Feel free to jump in and enjoy the verbal banter that is going to be a big part of this site. It’s more fun when there are more people.
