For the last 14 months, the NRVLiving Real Estate Blog been the only real estate-focused (and the term "focused" could be argued) blog in the New River Valley.  We’ve written about serious stuff, fun stuff, non-nonsensical stuff – all kinds of stuff.  And we’ve been the only one doing it.  There are bloggers in Roanoke, namely Marty Martin, but others have recently gotten into the mix, including Renee Wiggins (started in February 2008) and a multi-author blog with a local firm.  In the New River Valley though, the number is even smaller.

Until now.

I’m proud to announce that real estate blogging the New River Valley has TRIPLED overnight.  That’s right, tripled, to a grand total of …

THREE.  That’s it. 

Alison Whittaker has joined the fray with her very own blog.  Alison is another great agent with me at Coldwell Banker Townside, and for as long as I’ve known her she’s ALWAYS had something to say so I know she’s going to be great at this as well.  She has a wealth of information to share, not only regarding real estate, but also purses and designer accessories.  Sorry Alison, I had to. 🙂

Seriously though, I’m really happy that she’s decided to start writing – she’s a great agent and I know has a lot to share, and I’m looking forward to reading her thoughts.

So two agents in the New River Valley are blogging, but Coldwell Banker Townside is getting in on the action as well.  Instead of just reading our blog, they’ve decided to start their own, using our agents as writers.  Check out the Keepin’ It Real Estate blog and subscribe – between Alison, Coldwell Banker Townside and NRVLiving, you should be able to keep with all things real estate in the New River Valley.

Now, if we could just get them on Facebook and Twitter.
