Has everything that can be said about real estate already been said?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Richard Weisser Realty

Has everything that can be said about real estate already been said by Richard WeisserIt’s a thought-provoking question for anyone that wants to write about real estate or the real estate industry:

Has everything that can be said about real estate already been said?

After all, the Internet is saturated with millions and maybe even billions of real estate related information tidbits and seemingly every discipline and every topic has been run into the ground.

With that being said, rarely a day goes by in this profession when I don’t learn something new or have an experience that I have never encountered before. Just when I think that I have “seen it all,” something new arises that completely falls out of the realm of “been there and done that!”

Sometimes you can share the experience but sometimes you can’t because it involves a transaction in process. But there is surely some fodder for writing that comes our way without provocation, and maybe, just maybe, it might help someone else!

 

Either way, there are still some things left to be said about real estate!

There is always something left to be said and as Kathy so adroitly pointed out above, just the differing perspectives are interesting.

Richard, there is a lot that has been written about real estate, but so much of what is on the web is pretty much hooey.  We're lucky to have people like the real top contributors on ActiveRain to give readers the real stuff!

Richard,

A lot has been said, and a lot has been written, and there is constantly something new popping up, and like Pat, I agree that the web is often uninformative, in some aspects.  A

Richard, No argument here that there's new left to be written.  The local nuances ensure that something novel will come along.

There are no new ideas under the sun it is said, but there are always new and original ways to say them.

Hi Richard - excellent thought-provoking question.  I would have to say that new things come up all of the time and I am sure the "new" topics that you are looking to write about appear to you on a weekly, or even daily basis.

Hi Richard,

I'm convinced there's nothing new with problems, it's how you find solutions that make a difference. What worked once, may not work a second time. Same old problems! Same old frustrations! Different solutions!

We are certainly not in a boring industry. Just look at all the Real Estate Reality Shows out there.  Every day is a new day in real estate.

I feel the same way Richard.  Every day is different.  Every day we learn something.  Every day we discover new things to blog about!

I know I learn a lot from being here, and now that everyone or everything can write 20 blog posts a week, no doubt we will learn lots more (?)

Richard...there is a lot to be said about Real Estate yet, but I doubt we will ever see much of it on this site now that content seems to be second thought.

Very true. Real estate is a dynamic business and dynamic means constant change. So there will always be something new!  The issue is will it be written about?

There will never be a shortage of things to say about real estate. I could blog every day about things in our own home community.
