Back in the Saddle

istock_000000951673xsmall

I launched this blog in May of 2008 in an effort to bring information to present and future clients that was the truest representation of what I could provide about the Orange County real estate market.   The constant drone of the Realtor community – “It’s a great time to buy” was making me feel a disconnect with my colleagues.  In early 2007, it was a tough market to sell a home and buying made sense for a handful of clients.  This became a place for me to share information about locations and internal markets within South Orange County specifically.

In the Beginning

When one launches a blog such as this, you go into it knowing that what you write initially falls on deaf ears.  I didn’t mind really.  I love the writing, I love the authenticity of it, and I love the platform.  Information about the vast changes in real estate to share with readers was easy to come by….and over time readership grew.

So What Happened?

The last three months have posed challenges and sadly, I let the distractions get in the way of my beloved blog.  I admit that I abandoned my blog as of late.  With a friend’s passing, an increase in very active buyers, and summer with my kids, I let it get the better of me.

When someone first starts a blog, the hardest part is starting.  It’s the momentum that keeps you engaged once it begins.  I have found that starting up again is just as hard.  But today is the day!

So Welcome Back!

For my readers (if you’re still there) and for those just coming on board, I’m back in the saddle again.  Back to the stuff that connected us before, back to the OC real estate voice.  Thanks for continuing to come back.

    Hang in there Linsey. Being a Realtor a spouse and a parent keeps us busy. Sometimes the blog gets the back seat for more important things. Make a goal to post a few times a month and don’t put too much pressure on yourself.

    I know exactly how you feel! My blog suffers when I get distracted.

    Glad to see you’re back in the saddle.

    Linsey – I stopped by to see what was new with you… I completely ‘get’ being behind with your blog… I start almost every post now with an apology for being away for so long…

    It was good meeting you at the reBarCamp in Newport Beach… hope to see you out there again!
