Here's a couple of Arizona real estate blogs you may not be aware of….
Shailesh Ghimire is the Arizona Mortgage Guru. Shailesh and his wife Aimee are lenders in Mesa, Arizona — and they are darn good ones. They are in fact, the lenders we've teamed up with to bring you the woefully underutilized "Ask The Lenders" feature on our main site, mentioned here, and linked to in our sidebar (note to self, move that directly to the blog, throw up an image, do something to see if it we can more people to take advantage of the Ghimire's knowledge and willingness to help).
Shailesh has been blogging for quite some time, but in January of this year, the blogging bug bit hard, and since then he's been a very prolific blogger. Shailesh blogs about local, national and even worldwide mortgage/financial news, throws in some humor, and even gives us insight that he lies awake at night thinking about blogging (welcome to blog geekdom!). He also recently began contributing to the excellent Blog Arizona. (note to Shailesh - send us a guest post and we'll put it up here!) He's got great insight to the mortgage world. Highly recommended!
Kelley Koehler down south a bit in Tucson has just this month fired up The Housechick Blog. She's running WordPress on a very slick theme (try dragging the sidebar modules!). Looks like she's already working on getting lender contributors herself, and there is some great local content to be had. (Local to Tucson also sometimes works for local to Phoenix — as in her blog on swap coolers.) She doesn't know this, but I first came across Kelley over a year ago when I thought I had a referral for a Tucson agent. Her real estate website was easy to find, and very well done — as you'd expect from someone with a Systems Engineering degree with a specialty in software systems. Granted it's from U of A, but we'll try not to hold that against her. If Kelley keeps it up, she'll soon have a strong presence in the Arizona real estate blogiverse.
Check these two out, add them to your feed reader and enjoy!

Woo-hoo! Thanks for the mention. I suppose you’re one of those “ASU” folk. I decided to go to a real university, myself. Wanna swap blogroll links?

Jay,
You’re right. Kelly is good. I have the honor of knowing her in person from our office. Nice wirte up on her.

It’s a small blogiverse isn’t it?
Kelley - actually I’m a Hilltopper. Yeah, not many people on the planet know what that is. St. Edward’s University in Austin, TX, by way of The University of Texas and Texas A&M at Galveston (never ever go to a college on the beach, it’s not conducive to good study habits).
But ASU is here, U of A there. My son will probably be going to ASU, so I might as well get ready.
You’re blogrolled…

Jay,
Thanks for the mention and the links!
The blog bug hit hard early this year. I had been “blogging” for almost two years but never gave it much attention until YOUR wife and my wife kept talking about YOUR wonderful work. So, I had to start looking into it more.
