A reader writes:

“Should I be concerned when the house next door to me goes up for lease with signage advertising a website that has been deactivated?”

Good question. And while we’re at it, what does it mean when you call the phone number on a sign and find the number has been disconnected?

I Heart Gordon Keith & More Media En Route To Dallas To See Bush Home

I should have posted this yesterday but, ah, we had the D holiday party. Beauty of the web is I will soon be able to post a link for you right here. Gordon Keith was kind enough to have me on his show to chat up chez Bush. He also had a hysterical visit with Santa, who I secretly slipped my Christmas list. (Santa said something about dreaming on, then passed the flask.) Speaking of house dreams, folks on Daria Place may be itching to clear the media from their cul de sac, but should be thankful they are not in the Albany Park section of Chicago. Might as well set up a few tea and crumpet stands because more media are on their way to Dallas: BBC World Service Radio is making a documentary about the Bush legacy and will be in Dallas in the next couple weeks.

Green Realtors

About 100 instructors and 250 Realtors took the brand-new sustainability training at the National Association of Realtors convention this week. It was standing room only for the 15-hour core class–turns out Realtors are thinking this is the wave of the near-future and are falling over each other to get the designation. A good thing, I think.

In addition to the core class, there’s a choice of electives–residential, commercial or property management–that can be taken in person or via webinar. It is a HUGE amount of information.

Trulia Launches Special Site To Deal With Real Estate Market Crisis

Even as they beef up partnerships with more Realtors and organizations. Zillow is adding home services to its blog, becoming more of a Craig’s List for homeowners — very smart, homebuyers spend like crazy when they first buy a home and this is the time when they most utilize home service contractors. (Swear my husband had an affair with a gal named Home Depot when we bought one of our homes.) Not sure yet that Dallas is in any crisis mode — but I do know that we are about to see a shift in the rental market, which I spoke with Worth Ross at length about today. Besides working with homeowner associations, Worth manages 750 single family homes in the Dallas Fort Worth area — yikes I think two are sending me to an early grave! He’s been in the business since 1984, he lectures, he clearly knows what he is doing and we will be hearing lots more from him on this blog!
