The Bubble Blog Interviewed Me

Reciprocity; ain’t it grand? For those who may question my not-hating-the-bubble-bloggers’ mentality, it’s because they actually value good Realtors, and offer constructive (and blunt/brash) criticism – something that is often missing.

We’re the Bubble Blog, yes, but we’re not anti-Realtor. We’re anti-Bubble. There’s a vital need for expert realtors (we’ve said this before here, and on other blogs), especially in this rapidly-changing, complicated market and economy. A good realtor, in our humble opinion, is someone who takes into consideration not just the profit aspects of helping people to buy or sell what is typically the largest purchase of their lives, but also someone who knows that owning a house conveys with it other elements: a sense of community, a sense of responsibility, a sense of security, and that in the current market, and for several years to come, these intangibles may be more important than large profits.

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Part 1 and Part 2 of the interview I did with them.
