    It looks like he’s doing a really good job too. I was expecting a low quality, minimal effort site but the content is current, local and does not look like he’s spamming his newpaper with his real estate services.

    I once read that real estate investors/developers often have a fascination with owning their own newspaper company. Maybe this is the Web 2.0 version of this ongoing fascination?

    Wow, I really, really like this concept… If a brokerage can fill the void that the newspapers are leaving….

    That really does fulfill a niche if one has the time and resources.
