Austin Real Estate Blog | National Real Estate Review

I'm Lani. I live in Austin, Texas (jealous?). I am the New Media Director of Single Pointe Realty (and AgentGenius.com). I keep this blog as my personal take on the market, the business of Real Estate, and the agents that make up the profession from all over the nation. Because I am not a licensed agent- I write commentary from the unique perspective of part consumer, part insider. Oh, and I have a ridiculous affinity for cheese.

We're a unique real estate company that doesn't operate as a traditional brokerage. We bring new technology, modern buying & selling strategies to our clients- it's been my job to create a home buying & selling experience that is fun, fresh, & exciting for today's Austin real estate consumer.

Confessions of a Lifehacker Addict

Thanks a lot, Larry… as if my time wasn’t monopolized with Real Estate, blogging, family and a stubborn dog, you got me hooked on the crack that is Lifehacker! If any of you aren’t reading, it is a great supplement for bloggers to learn about software apps, office organizing and how to get water out of the cell phone you dropped in the pool.

My favorite articles today:
Google adds Group Chat (great for co-drafting documents)
Top 10 DIY Office Projects
Making a Room Look Bigger (great for staging or in your own home or office)
Cord Management (addressing Realtor Genius’ cord crisis)

It’s no Feed Bag, but now I’m like Larry, pimpin’ and slingin’ the addiction that is Lifehacker (see Erin, I like to say pimpin’!)!

Yeah, I used to read that guy a bit, and he’s very entertaining, but some of his suggestions were just screwey, like using Backpacker as a to do list. What’s wrong with ACT? For that matter, what’s wrong with a sheet of paper? I don’t think he simplifies to the extent he thinks he does.

Granted I don’t use a Mac (eww), so 50% of the articles don’t apply to me, but the team at Lifehacker has the most innovative gems of advice out there (even if you are a cranky big-headed guy who prefers a piece of paper for his to do lists! ).

I don’t understand a LOT of what happens in the tech articles, but for some reason, I always click on Lifehacker FIRST when I open my feed reader… crack I tell you!

Purva has a Mac. Have you met her yet? She’s not cranky, even smiley face cranky.

Enduring Bubble Gum

I've interviewed the elite in real estate- bubble gum style....

Bubble Gum Interview- Benn Rosales (My HUSBAND)!!!

A better question is do you think people who say smooth as a baby’s butt have ever changed a diaper? I mean seriously, why do we spend so much time dreaming of being younger or going back in time, or relating to childhood when we really should embrace the “now”. Looking backwards is so “life in reverse.”[…]

Bubble Gum with Kris Berg

Without giving too much away, it involved a party, a Tall Scotch & Water with a Twist (or ten), midnight munchies, a drive-thru window, assorted food products named “Jack” (Bonus, Breakfast), two Super Tacos, a large order of fries and a couple of regrettable hangovers. Steve is such a romantic![…]
