“How can Poway Seller balance being a Realtor and what she was posting..”
Never have met Poway Seller, or talked to her etc., but remember reading her posts when she used to contribute to Piggington…
Here’s my take, she has the type of personality it seems to me that are more keen on taking calculated risks. She also seems to be the type of person that generally “bucks the trend”, and are willing to try things that at the time seem ridiculous.
She was always without doubt an opinionated and interesting poster. All in all, I suspect she is taking the next step in learning about this beast called the real estate market. What better time to learn about a new career when you’re not necessarily competing against thousands of Johnny-come-lately’s (all of them have dropped out of RE like flies by now I hope)? So I look at her move as quite intelligent, in line with the way she looks at business and the way most Piggingtonians look at Real Estate– as cyclical. Many years from now the market will flatten out, some years later it may start to rebound out of its morbid state…people like Poway Seller and Piggingtonians will be well poised to enter the market sensibly at that point.

Volume is collapsing and it is probably the worst possible time to be entering the field. She will be lucky to earn minimum wage and would better off getting a job at Target.December 7, 2007 at 10:59 PM #111933sdrealtorParticipantCalidesigner,

North of the 8 with ample parking (gaslamp places are a pain in the arse). It’s hard for most of us to peel off for an evening due to family and social commitments during the holidays but sneaking away for lunch while at work is easy for many. From there we can decide who has the biggest house for a big party and who’s stuff we don’t mind breaking when we get drunk. Either way, count me in.

December 7, 2007 at 11:43 PM #111834sdcellarParticipantI like to think I played a key part in running powayseller off the site, but I’m just kidding myself. She did that all on her own…
I shouldn’t joke though. It was really a shame that it happened and it’s sad to see someone put themselves in that position. We’ve probably all been there, you just keep digging the hole deeper and deeper… At least I know I have.
I think she has a lot to offer and that she’s really a good person. I just think this site became too big a part of her life. The lure of web celebrity is a powerful one. I certainly hope she’s happy now.
Myself, I went away for a while. I love this site and am often fascinated, amused, sickened and educated by what I find here. Oh, and I flat out love Rich’s writing style!
But, I was just spending too much time and/or had too much going on in my life. So I went from reading every single post on every single thread (see, too much), to letting the yellow envelopes pile up.
But now, I’m back reading the threads that catch my interest and posting occasionally. Unfortunately, I have a tendency to mostly call people out when I think they’ve got some tidbit wrong or at least differ with my particular world view, typically with just a wee bit of sarcasm thrown in. Probably not my most endearing trait, but since I don’t let it phase me when it comes my way, I tell myself “it’s okay.”
Anyhoo, sorry to ramble, but I do enjoy a lot of the folk who have passed through here and those that are still here, so I just wanted to pop my head up.
