Real Estate Blogger (North Shore)

2008-06-19T12:55:55-05:00

Attention real estate mavens! Online real estate broker Redfin is looking to hire a few good part-time bloggers to give color to real estate market trends.

The goal is to create an insanely addictive blog about everything that moves in Chicago real estate. We are currently looking for a blogger to cover the North Shore area: Evanston, Wilmette and Winnetka for now. For your area, Redfin would send you all sorts of data on fixer-uppers, price reductions, past sales, and listing inventory. It would be your job to process this data and create easy to understand, yet thought-provoking posts. What you'd get out of it: the inside scoop, a creative outlet, the glory of an online cult following, and good money, every month. We'd expect 3 posts per week, mostly on market trends, but some on real estate tips, news and neighborhood guides. You'd also have to monitor and respond to comments, deleting the offensive ones.

Qualifications:

Good writing skills: no-BS prose with flair, and a dash of humor too
An analytical mind: the ability to read between the numbers and tell a story
Love of real estate: real estate was a favorite pastime before you read this ad
Local knowledge: know your neighborhood
Internet savvy: prior blogging experience isn�t necessary but highly recommended

No real estate agents please, at least not if you have any listings (which would make you biased). Starting pay is $120 per week, for only a few hours of fun and rewarding work. To apply, send us a 200-word writing sample of how the housing market in your city is performing (you can use fictional numbers) along with a short note about yourself. Send us a link to your blog if you have one.
