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.
The whine + the friend who inadvertently helped me whine = the RESULT. For all of you husbands telling your wife that nagging persistence doesn’t pay off, you’ve been proven wrong. I can tell Tony’s married…

Kris & I will be sharing the necktie at BHBU- watch out!
I've interviewed the elite in real estate- bubble gum style....
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.”[…]

Steve is such a romantic![…]

Well we’re getting closer to defining you in three words…

Maybe now, instead of Whining - it should be Winning!
Congrats!

Oh my God…It’s the Whining Winner! Too funny.

You certainly have an “A List” MyBlogLog Viewer panel over there. Looks more accurate than Tony’s Top 20 List.
I’m seeing Marlow Harris and Jonathan Dalton, Kris Berg and Laurie Manny, Vicki Lloyd, John Lockwood and Mike Mueller.
You may be tie for 20…after whining. But you difinitely have an A List readership.

Ardell - I’m a mortgage guy without the cerebral capacity/power of Realtor…what do you expect.
All kidding aside, Marlow, Jonathan, Kris and Laurie are very high on my list of top Realtor bloggers, however again…I’m a mortgage guy.
Mike - That was good and whitty for a mortgage guy!
Athol - Perhaps you should make a post for three word possibilities?

@Athol- :p
@Mike- no, for people who know my no-apologies wife-like behavior, I’ll keep it as “whining” to be fair!
@Ardell- thanks for pointing out the readership, that is actually a very good point! I am actually nowhere near qualified for being in the Top 20, but linking to awards in a silly manner is more my style than the typical “look who won” article.
@Tony- I love your “cerebral capacity” comment- very classy! Doing Top 20 Lists are very difficult because someone always feels slighted no matter what. Next time, stick to your guns and ignore the whiney babies (unless it’s me again)!

At times I feel like these awards are akin to a bunch of ducks handing out “Best Flyer At The Pond” awards, while eagles fly overhead.
Hanan Levin just cracked the 12 million visitors mark. I got linked to by Grow-a-Brain just once and I thought someone was trying to crash my server.
