I heard a few weeks ago that Robert Scoble (Scobleizer) quit his job at MS to work at start-up Podtech and was moving to CA, then just read in Zillow blog about the Scobles listing their home with Coldwell Banker Bain’s own Stan Mackey.  Congrats to Stan for the listing and to the Scoble’s for their good sense.  There’s been so much criticism of real estate agents lately, it’s nice to know that someone of Scoble’s stature still feels that a good Realtor brings value to the process of a home sale. 

With respect and affection, Scoble describes Mackey as his ”real estate guy and friend”, and reading Mackey’s blog, you can see the feeling is mutual. 

I think if you ask most Realtors what they like about the business, you’ll hear over and over again that they like helping people.  They love the new friends they make and the opportunity to be of assistance in a way that really matters.  They find real estate to be sexy and they get off on assisting and being involved in life-changing events and decisions. 

Good luck to the Scoble’s in their move!
