Moms Who Wrangle Real Estate

July 6, 2010 by

I don’t quite know how it happened, but somewhere along the way I started reading mommy blogs. Not because I am a mommy, nor because I want to be one anytime soon; I must’ve read an article somewhere about how prolific these blogs have become, and a few clicks later I got hooked.

These ladies are amazing writers, and lately two have been blogging about real estate drama. You know I love the dramz, so I’ve been eating it up. If you’re in the mood for some voyeuristic real estate adventure, I encourage you to read on. I’ll give some background based on my half-baked knowledge of their lives, and then we’ll get into the linky fun.

Lives in Salt Lake City, makes fun of Mormons, is hilarious, and is possibly the most famous blogger ever. She’s been on Oprah and she even met Obama.

Real estate scoop:

Outgrowing the family coop

Loving and losing (with hooker references)

Battling seller craziness

2. Rebecca Woolf (GirlsGoneChild.net)

Rebecca lives in LA, is really into fashion and art, never went to college (in an impressive way), and wrote a book.

Her real estate drama is on the renter side of things, but because we at Real Savvy Real Estate love our renters, her story absolutely counts. It’s less dramatic than Heather’s (fewer hookers and bobcats, to say the least), but is nonetheless a beautiful reminder about what having a home–no matter if you rent or own–really is all about.

Real estate scoop:

Getting the house (and more importantly, making a whole life work)

Housezilla (battling the craziness that grips us when we make a major change)

House tour (cuz we need to see the goods!)

Advice for moving with small children (hey, it’s a mommy blog after all)

Stories are such fun, and in keeping with the storytelling theme, I’ve got a special treat for you later this week. You’ll meet two homeowners who thought they were buying their dream house……but little did they know the adventure that was in store for them! Stay tuned…

    Buying a home is one of life’s most important decisions. But, there’s more to it than picking out the perfect home. Take some time to prepare yourself before you start your search. It’s important to know the stumbling blocks you may encounter during your path to homeownership.

    You can find a real passion, you will find what you are doing or not doing now will help you to live this passion. A very powerful tool that I use a barbell.

    I would just like to comment on the photos for your blog….nice job! The pictures of the mommy real estate agents make you want to connect with them as real people. BTW, I love Heather’s blog, Utah real estate is unique because of the LDS culture and she has nailed it right on the head! Nice work!
