Real estate writer new to board

[Dan Rafter]

Hi, All:

I'm an experienced real estate writer new to this board. I've been covering real estate, mostly on the residential side, for more than 10 years now. I'm also the editor of a real estate trade magazine in Chicago.

It's certainly been a fascinating industry to cover: I've seen the height of the real estate boom and the current low of the housing slump. But, as we all know, things will get better. In this industry, they always do.

I've recently started a new blog, BlogProRealty.com, dedicated to providing advice and blogging services for real estate agents who are struggling to maintain their blogs. Check it out for some free advice. And, of course, if you'd like to sign up for my professional blogging service, I wouldn't be opposed to that.

Thanks all, and I look forward to participating on the forum.

Welcome to the real estate forum. I am still relatively new and I have already learned a great deal from reading all the great posts.

Just wanted to thank everyone for the warm welcomes. This looks like quite the active community.

By the way, if anyone has any ideas for stories they'd like to see in trade magazines and newspapers, feel free to contact me. (You can reach me at my Web site, BlogProRealty.com or by clicking on my profile and sending me an e-mail that way.)

Thanks again,
Dan
