The buzz word these days is “blog”. I’ve been told it’s time to enter the world of blogging myself. So here goes…Welcome to my blog!

Hopefully I can keep these commentaries short, interesting and valuable enough for you to invest a few minutes to read them. My 21 year old son Rob works for a company named Lexblog. Started by a man who sold his first internet research company to Lexis (now LexisNexis), Lexblog creates and sells blog templates to law firms. I’m sure 5 or 6 years ago, few could imagine law firms setting up blog sites to talk about interesting and important developments in their specific law practice. But it’s taking off. Web 2.0 is really here.

My plan is to provide you with a fun and factual commentary on life and real estate in Marin. There are a few other Marin real estate blogs out there (we’ll point to those along the way), but both my son Rob and Kristin, a Marin Realty Group agent who is also a techno wiz, told me that it’s time for me to get to blogging. My subject matter will primarily be real estate, but I’ll also write about interesting people and stories related to real estate. Or any other inspirations that may come to me from my Saturday morning Mt. Tam bike rides.

In addition to my blog, we have Ana Trueman of Avatara Finance Group, our in-house loan broker, contributing financial market updates regularly in her blog the Weekly Market News.

Check in each week for a new post. I welcome any and all topic suggestions and real estate related questions to address in my blog. Just shoot me an email lou@marinrealtygroup.com with your ideas.

See you next post! – Lou La Gatta, Broker/Owner, Marin Realty Group
