Judy's First Ever Blog Post

As the title of this post indicates, this is my first ever blog posting. I have to admit I thought blogging was stupid and pointless and then I saw the Cute With Chris podcast/blog and I knew it was stupid and pointless. After spending several hours on the CWC blog catching up on previous pod casts, inside jokes and links to all sorts of different places I had an epiphany. This blogging thing is a really cool tool. It can be fun, informative, professional or whatever the creator desires.


After my CWC experience I now knew I wanted to blog but had no idea how to do it. In a professional conversation with Spencer blogging came up and I realized he was the perfect person with which to co-write a blog. We've worked together on real estate deals, respect the work ethic and knowledge base of the other, are neighbors who like each other, and the best part, he knew how to blog so I could piggyback off his knowledge and get up to speed quickly (note the embedded hyperlink Spence). I read somewhere the successful person surrounds themselves with people who know more than they do so this blog is that concept in action!


After a lunch and many phone calls and emails back and forth Spencer and I came up with the concept for this blog. Some professional information and advice from his lending perspective and my Realtor perspective, some fun stuff, lots of links to our clients' projects and businesses as well as info about and links to the service providers we know and trust. After we get all that in here we'll see what else evolves.


That's what excites me about blogging. Its dynamic nature. Something not working? Change it. New idea? Implement it immediately. No committees, no permission, no worries. One thing Spencer and I agreed is we want to get our past, present and future clients involved in our blog so if you want to leave a comment do it! Have an idea for us? Share it! Think our blog can help someone you know who has real estate needs? Link it!


While some of this may be fun stuff and not real estate oriented, the main goal of this blog is to inform, involve and educate our readers about everything related to home and land sales. We have many years of real estate and lending experience to share and we want to be there to help guide you and advise you during your home sale or purchase.


So here we go! Day two of the blog and many more to come.

First Post

This is the first post on the new Riverfront Real Estate Blog. The blog has been created by Judy Huestis and Spencer Rubin as a means of communicating with our clients, past present and future. We hope to provide useful information about all things real estate related especially when it comes to our community the Coloma Lotus Valley.
