Online real estate broker Redfin is looking to add a new writer to its Los Angeles “Sweet Digs” blog. (Visit it at losangeles.redfin.com/blog)
Our goal is to create an insanely addictive blog about everything that moves in Los Angeles-area real estate. Right now we’re looking for bloggers who live in and can write about Glendale, Pasadena and surrounds.
For your neighborhood, you’d arrange to have Redfin send you all sorts of data on fixer-uppers, price reductions, past sales, and listing inventory. It would be your job to process this data and create easy to understand yet thought-provoking posts. What you'd get out of it: the inside scoop, a creative outlet, the glory of an online cult following, and good money, every month. We'd expect 3 posts per week (a maximum of 12 posts per month) mostly on market trends, but some on real estate tips, news and neighborhood guides. You'd also have to monitor and respond to comments, deleting the offensive ones.
Qualifications:
• Good writing skills: no-BS prose with flair, and a dash of humor too
• An analytical mind: the ability to read between the numbers and tell a story
• Love of real estate: Real estate was a favorite pastime before you read this ad
• Local knowledge: Know your neighborhood
• Internet savvy: We'd want to teach you about blogs, but you'd have to be a quick study
No real estate agents please (we know there are some agents who can write really well, but we’re concerned about real or perceived conflicts of interest).
Starting pay is $480 per month. Plus, you’ll earn a bonus if yours is one of the top three most-read posts that month!
To apply, send us a 200-word writing sample of how the housing market in your city is performing (you can use fictional numbers) along with a short note about yourself.
Location: Pasadena/Glendale
Compensation: $480 per month plus bonuses
