      Violent acts against realtors. Sounds like Rants and his 10 year old are responsible. Especially for the sexual assault.

        Sorry, try again. “Sheople” is a term reserved for peak buyers like you. Back in your cage monkey.

      Once the go-to reporter blog for real estate news in OC has morphed into further pandering to REIC while providing a forum for juvenile posters. Really?

      OC real estate reporter discusses twitter and social networking nuances between real estate pump pieces. Really?

      Yes, really.

        Could you help me understand how doing a daily wrapup of recent real estate news OUTSIDE Orange County is pandering the the “REIC”?

        Folks on this blog have said they wanted more than just OC real estate news. So we are complying!

        Jon, your blogger!
