It was a cool, clear night. The wispy wind was gently nudging the leaves in the old, sturdy oak outside Jane's second-story window... Okay, so I do not fancy myself as THAT kind of an author, but I do enjoy writing.

You are receiving this blog because you have either done business with us in the past, we would like to do business with you in the future, you are a media outlet interested in Real Estate, or we feel you have some other interest in the Southeast Idaho Real Estate Market. If you are like me, you do not enjoy unsolicited emails. I can appreciate that. However, I would not have included you in the mailing list if I did not feel you could genuinely benefit from this blog and others to come. I ask only that you give it a shot. If you would rather not learn more about the Southeast Idaho Real Estate market, trends, statistics, appraising, and/or our company in the future, feel free to unsubscribe HERE. However, I believe that this blog has something for everyone. It is free, there is no obligation, and a vast amount of informative knowledge is headed your way.

What is a blog? According to Wikipedia.org, “A blog is a user-generated website where entries are made in journal style and displayed in a reverse chronological order. Blogs often provide commentary or news on a particular subject, such as food, politics, or local news; some function as more personal online diaries. The term "blog" is derived from "Web log."

Blogs are often sent out via email, and I will send each one to you in that format unless you choose to remove yourself from our list. However, each of these blogs will be posted at www.appraisalprecision.com for reference. If you are reading this for the first time from the website and are interested in becoming part of the email community, shoot me an email expressing your desire in joining to dustin@appraisalprecision.com.

As a Certified Residential Appraiser and Real Estate Consultant with over a decade of experience in the Idaho market, I feel I am uniquely qualified to bring you this information. Blog topics to come will include bringing you up to date on the local and national housing market trends, education on real estate and valuation issues, market predictions, real estate investing and consulting topics, some information about myself and our company, maybe a little venting, telling of humorous stories, etc. Most will be written by me, but with a growing staff, guest commentaries will sometimes be the exception.

Some blogs will be long and some short. There will be no set time interval. I do not write on a schedule (such as once a month, every week, etc.) Instead, I will write as a feel inspired or a need to write. I am open to suggestions for future topics. They can be emailed to dustin@appraisalprecision.com.

Welcome! I hope you will choose to remain a part of this blogging community. I look forward to informative and fun times in the near future. I understand that your time is precious. I do feel that this column will be worthy of the investment. I think you will find the information you receive will be helpful, educational, and sometimes even humorous.
