It’s funny, but I just read in another website, called Asiaing.com, that LuxuryRealEstate.com Magazine came out today. Very cool!

You may have noticed that LuxuryRealEstate.com Magazine can now be viewed over the Internet, digitally. Our company did this for a few reasons: to increase distribution of the magazine and listings of our members, and to increase distribution in a manner that reduces printing and paper use, thus reducing our carbon footprint and environmental impact.

I recently learned that our distinguished Luxury Real Estate member, Jenny Pruitt & Associates in Atlanta, Georgia and surrounding area, took their magazine The Atlanta Collection digital as well.

We will be more than happy to speak with you and your print team about what is necessary to do this. Please feel free to contact me at blanghorst at LuxuryRealEstate.com to learn more.

Growing up in Washington state, those words were often impressed upon me. I’m all for being good stewards over the land we possess. Being able to reach an even broader audience than would be possible through traditional paper media is an added benefit of conserving resources. Excellent point, Brian! The cover of The Atlanta Collection is from Pruitt Pulse, an awesome real-estate blog.

I agree that there are plenty of opportunities for people to enjoy luxurious lifestyles. Take advantage of the experts’ services in our network of fine brokers.

Condo hotel, hotel condo and condotel are all too long and don’t really describe this property type particularly well. That’s why I propose that this property type be known as Hondo. It sounds sleeker, plus it solves the problems inherent in the repeated vowel sounds in “condo hotel” and the clunky awkwardness that is “condotel.” I’m probably not the first to suggest this, but I thought I’d throw it out there anyway. I’ll also hopefully suggest replacements for other terms in the future.

Hondo. What do you think?

It’s been more than two years since Hurricane Katrina. The water has receded and hundreds of thousands of people have returned to their homes in New Orleans, but much more effort is needed to resurrect this city to its past greatness. Actor Brad Pitt is doing his best to lend a hand to this recovery process, according to this article on The Times-Picayune. Pitt and Angelina Jolie bought a palace in the French Quarter of New Orleans earlier this year with the help of their broker, Eleanor Farnsworth, the president of Prudential Gardner, Realtors. Farnsworth is an exclusive member of the Luxury Real Estate Board of Regents.

Brad Pitt’s “Make it Right” campaign is ambitious in scope. He wants to build hundreds, maybe even thousands, of homes for people in some of the hardest-hit districts of this city. One person, even a celebrity, can’t bring about these great changes by himself, but he can certainly point the spotlight on the need to do so and hopefully inspire more people to join this fine cause and take care of the least of these our brethren. I’m currently working on a City Spotlight on New Orleans in the spring 2008 issue of LuxuryRealEstate.com Magazine, and I look forward to sharing stories of hope like this one.
