Hey, all – as you may know, I recently took on a significant – and fun! – new role at Trulia.com in Consumer PR and Marketing. My titles range, depending on what I’m doing that day, from Real Estate Realist, to Consumer Educator, to Manager of PR + Marketing.

For a few months, I’ll be blogging primarily on my Real Estate Reality Check Blog in the Trulia Voices Community (which you should be a part of, btw) and at REThink Real Estate and Inman News.

Please check them out – for the next few months I’ll be using these outlets and the mainstream media to really walk my talk about using smart, relevant knowledge and content to attract and serve homebuyers and sellers online.

I’ll also be the face of Trulia.com for consumer TV! UPDATE 08.23.2010: Here’s a recent clip of me on ABC News Now’s Money Matters, offering Insider Secrets for Bargain-Seeking House Hunters!

Before you know it, I’ll be blogging back over here, sharing my insights and successes! Also, this would be a great time to follow me on Twitter or friend me on Facebook - let me know that our paths crossed at WRELDA.com, and I’ll add you right away.

If order is a prerequisite to prosperity, then our friends over at Get Buttoned Up! are going to great length to help you satisfy those prereqs with these cute and smart organizational sheets to help you get and stay organized.

Why Women Buyers + Sellers LOVE DocuSign

The real estate industry is a little schizophrenic when it comes to technology. It is partially cutting-edge, while stuck using decades-old technology (if you can call it that), in other areas.

But real estate clients are decidedly un-stuck, technologically speaking. They are mobile, they are busy, and they are often borderline overwhelmed with their everyday lives – much less their lives during a real estate transaction, with all the additional demands that house hunting, showing their homes, making offers, inspections, etc. put on their calendar.

So, it comes as no surprise how much my homebuyer and -seller clients *heart* DocuSign. For them, DocuSign is largely about freedom. Freedom of time, location and equipment against a backdrop of increased convenience and security. Here are some of the reasons my clients love DocuSign – and no, I am not a paid spokewoman for DocuSign (though I’d love to be!).
