Thoughts about Karen, 
our Blogger Starfish

This book is a "must" 
on the bookshelf 
of every real estate agent, 
reporter, and real estate blogger.

Let's get the real estate blogging community together in San Francisco to cover the The National Assn. of REALTORS^® annual convention and exposition October 28-31, 2005 and show the mainstream press a thing or two about what really makes this industry tick! Note: This is a non-commercial enterprise.

We will get behind the scenes with our laptops, cameras, and camcorders and put together a 
NAR Blogger Convention Daily consortium. We can do a little planning and divvy up some of the topics, issues, and noteworthy personalities for interviews. 

Check the following links for additional information and come back soon for a list of participants in this Human Experiment. Sign on now and wear the coveted REBS designation behind your name!
