6:37, the fact that you live around the corner makes your comments as unreliable as a broker trying to sell the place since you have a vested interest in keeping property values high. Furthermore, I disagree that the larger brokerage firms do not read or utilize brownstoner to their advantage. Nobody uses brownstoner better than Corcoran. Jerry Minsky’s fingerprints are all over Brownstoner. You would think he were sleeping with Jon B to get the publicity he has.
Very true 2:04. Whether bull or bear, everyone’s pushing their own agenda on brownstoner and any other blog. Those in between are just spectating.
WTF are we doing on this blog after 2am on a Friday? We’re such losers.
Brownstoner – Just put a ‘TWhat’ link (to an area with his comments and our replies) next to those of ‘GMAP’ and ‘P*Shark’ at the bottom of all threads that pertain to the market. The What has become somewhat of an unkickable bad habit to the bloggership whether we want to admit it or not (we still respond to him).
1:30am – here’s a little guidance:
Realities of real estate blogs:
(1) Everyone is anonymous
(2) Lots of people read them, especially folks looking to buy
(3) Because everyone is anonymous, they use it to push their agendas
(4) For this reason, you’d be stupid not to post in a clever way supporting your agenda
(5) Especially if you’re a broker
(6) If you don’t believe brokers use every tool available to them to push their product you are
(7) naive
(8) an idiot
(9) deluding yourself
(10) living on planet “where, what, who am I??”
(11) #7 through #10
Thought that might help.
You lost me at “thought I moved back down to the south” 10:39.
Is that supposed to be a good thing?
or maybe my broker friend is a whole lot busier than yours.
she works for one of the big companies and i don’t believe they spend tons of time on here for the most part. sure they check it out from time to time, but sounds like yours uses brownstoner as a major marketing tool, and i’m sure my friend does not.
9:42, that is not true. My broker told me just the opposite. She says she reads Brownstoner, as do her colleagues. She also said they occasionally tip off Brownstoner as to their listings, because in her opinion, any publicity is good publicity, so whatever. She said she was thrilled to see that one of her recent listings got such positive comments across the board on this site. So either your broker is lying and you’re gullible, or you are full of BS!
FYI-pics are up on the MacDonough place..looks pretty good IMHO.
Go look at the MacDonough house, we bought and did a reno on MacDonough between patchen and Ralph, we are so happy!! The block is beautiful it’s close to the A and C (I prefer the A, the C walk isn’t the prettiest) Quiet nab I couldn’t believe it! Nice neighboors that look out for your house,hell I thought I moved back down to south. This part of the stuy is a well kept secret but, I’m going to tell the story.
437 Clermont is 16.75 x 45. It’s long and narrow. It’s a good block, but a small building. Does a user buy it?
