Austin Real Estate Blog | National Real Estate Review

RErevealed is written by Benn & Lani Rosales of Austin, Texas (jealous? Austin is pretty awesome). Benn is the Founder of Agent Genius, online real estate magazine, and Lani is the New Media Director. This site is designed to reveal and rereveal the realities of social media in an attempt to overcome the industry standard of fluff writing and lofty, pointless theory. So let's get down to the nitty gritty, shall we?

Here, you'll learn not only what social media is and how it works but the ever crucial (and often overlooked) why element of social media. We apply a sociological and anthropological lens to new media and help you filter out the junk (like when we pick peas out of our rice).

Want To Make National News? Easy!

Oprah’s a Painin’… While eating my lunch of Mountain Dew and Cheez-its, I watched the mid-day Fox News coverage of the 2008 Presidential election. Benn & I are mega-fans of Fox News and it’s on in the background whether here or at the office. Today, they were talking about how demeaning it was to women that Oprah selected a man for her vote and chose race over gender (the later of which she has devoted much of her life to empowering).

First of all- gimme a freakin’ break. Not only do I not care about ANY celebrity endorsement, I don’t care that Oprah has to pick a candidate based on her skin or her gender.

Second of all- the sources they referred to were (get this) commenters on the Oprah.com blog. Seriously.

SO, if you want to make national news, just go talk politics on a celebrity’s site and you’re a shoe-in to being a news source. Oh, brother.

Ok, so I am not a big Oprah fan anyway. But I have to defend her…sounds completely normal to me to ask someone to choose the freaking Commander in Chief of the most awesome military in the world based on the top issues - race and gender.

War, taxes, health care, economic, national security - pshaw! Stick to the real topics!

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![…]
