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.

Derek, you are out of line. You know it’s not funny and I’m quite close to being impolite with you over your repetitive inappropriateness. Please stop or redirect your frustrations elsewhere.

I guess we know where sibling rivalry comes from. Jeez. I’d be P.O.’d if I was the bird not getting fed AND having to be the doormat. Abel meet Cain.

I didn’t even notice the worm in NAR’s mouth.

The way I saw it is like this… Nar is the big bad guy, Greg is always writing complaints and pissing them off and the rest of us gets stepped on.

Greg should be applauded in this this picture for sticking up to the big ugly bird.

Mama Bird = Broker
Bird getting fed with the hard earned bug = NAR
Baby bird supporting broker feeding NAR, and not getting fed by broker = Agent

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![…]
