BlogOrlando - Local Community Real Estate Bloggers Talk

Friday, September 28th, 2007

I’m attending an interesting local conference called BlogOrlando today, located at Rollins College in Winter Park. What’s interesting about this is that there are a number of local bloggers who talk about real estate and the local communities in Orlando.

Tim Welch - Colonialtown Blogger for Orlando Sentinel

So far I’ve been able to meet Tim Welch (pictured), who writes Colonialtown blog, and Chris Gent, who writes about the Conway area, for the Orlando Sentinel.

I also had the chance to have lunch with Debra Horowitz who is an expert in the Avalon Park real estate market in East Orlando.

Blogging about communities within Orlando is an area I hope to see increase greatly. The best news about an area is put out by the locals in that community - I see our job at Roofable as finding some of the best news and commentary from them and helping even more people find it.

No one was injured in this unfinished, unoccupied apartment complex where the fire destroyed two buildings. The Fire Marshal is still investigating the cause. Read the story in the Orlando Sentinel.
