Realtor lawyer seeks to rid 'blah' from blogging

Neil D. Kalin, assisant general counsel for the California Assocaition of Realtors, is dispensing free legal information to association members via a blog -- and he's seeking feedback from members on business issues.

Kalin's C.A.R. Legal Blog, launched in September, has featured posts about pest control inspections and repairs, contingency removal in purchase agreements, and homeowner association issues, as examples.

He states in an introductory post, "Do you think most real estate or legal blogs are, well, blah? I agree. I want to take the blah out of blogs. That should leave us with just the 'g' and the 's' ... Good Stuff or Gory Stories. My goal is not simply to teach you but to learn from you. I'll pick a topic and give you guidance about what the law or contract or C.A.R. says about it. Then it's your turn to tell me what really happens."
