New Year, New site for The Real Estate Cafe!
If you've wondered why this blog has been so quiet for the past six weeks, it's because we've been working on a new site which integrates our blog as well as content from The Real Estate Cafe's original web site. As you can see from the Google search results above, if you type in "real estate cafe," you now get over 300,000 search results. We're still #1, perhaps that's a reflection of our industry leading rebates, or the fact that we were the first real estate cyber cafe (see timeline on our wiki dating back to 1995).
To celebrate, we'd like to invite EVERYONE to join this ePhilanthropy campaign: Regardless of what happens to housing prices in 2009, think we home buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals across the world can work together to turn 1,000 cups of coffee into $1 million for AIDS orphans?
A continent full of AIDS orphans -- including millions in child-headed households -- needs you to respond ASAP. See ASAP: AIDS Shelter Alliance Partner proposal on our wiki, and let us know if you'd like to view the slide show in person some at Starbucks in Greater Boston or via webinar beyond.
We look forward to sharing this campaign with other real estate innovators, particularly those offering client rebates, next week at REBarCamp in New York.

Here's an article from FOX NEWS VIDEO about managed social network. A way to share your campaign to other real estate innovators.

I came across this post searching for other Realtors giving to charity... despite the market, I have recently been moved to offer and announce a flat, per transaction donation to Kiva or another like non-profit.
Nice to see others are likewise inspired. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for your kind words, Carmen. I just sent you an email invitation to join an experimental social networking site for ePhilanthropy & Cause Marketing in Real Estate. Please share more at:

If you're willing to target some AIDS related campaigns on Kiva, I'd love to invite you to join the Million Dollar March, too. Think of it as a real estate version of Product(RED):
Million Dollar March

Here a related blog post from several years ago:

The organizers of World AIDS Orphans Day (May 7, 2009) have expressed an interest in the idea and have offered their web site as a way to increase awareness and participation, see:

Let's work together to make the world a more compassionate place, particularly in these challenging times. Everyone is welcome!

Decided to pass on the campaign this year, but invite you and others to consider an "open source" fund raising idea if it inspires you to do something similar.
