About Rain City Real Estate Guide

Anna Luther's Sold SignHopefully you’ve noticed that this blog is not your typical real estate web site. I’ll try to answer some of the more typical questions I get here:

What is a blog?
Blog is short for “web log” and essentially, blogs started out as on-line journals. There is no fundamental difference between a blog and a website except that blogs are designed to be updated on a regular basis, whereas a typical website is not as easy to update.

Why did I forgo my website in favor of a blog?
I’ve always wanted a way to interact more and provide more timely information to my clients. The blog gives me a simple and effective medium with which to interact with you.

Another great feature of my blog is that it can be syndicated over RSS… Rather than describe this process, the end result is that you can read updates from my site directly on your “my yahoo” or “my msn” page (among MANY other RSS readers!). To add my site simply click on either of the two links:

  • add to My Yahoo!
  • my msn

Who writes on this blog?
All the entries are written by someone on my real estate team. You might have noticed that many of the blog entries are written by Dustin. Dustin is my husband and a vital part of the team. Dustin is also famous for using the “royal I” when blogging on this site. He feels no compulsion about writing things from my perspective and we’ve been married long enough that I can’t seem to stop him. 🙂

What am I trying to accomplish with this site?
There are two markets I focus on with this site: Buyers and Sellers!

For buyers, I will continue to add current information about the local real estate market and local neighborhoods so that someone who is moving to seattle will find this website informative enough that they will contact me when they are looking for an agent in the Seattle area.

For sellers, I will continue to post information about current home values and community news so that you will consider contacting me when you are looking to sell your home in the Seattle area.

Is there something else you’d like to see on this website? Just leave a comment and I’ll see what I can do!

  1. keep up the great blogging work Anna. I’ve pointed your blog to other realtors who have consulted with me about blogging for real estate business and told them that your real estate blog is one of the more top notch blogs out there on real estate.

  2. Dustin,
    Great site. I’ve been lurking for a while. I’m trying to link to your earlier post on Seattle Real Estate Blogs. I get an error commenting there.
    Thanks for the resources your providing. Your blog is great.

  3. I think I have everything back up and running… I was making some edits to the site’s structure last night, and hadn’t noticed that everything wasn’t back up and running correctly! Ouch! It should be working better now, please let me know if that is not the case!

    Also, thanks for letting me know you’ve been lurking. I went ahead and added your site to my bloglines and I’ll be interested in seeing your blog evolve!
