Blogs: What Are Commercial Real Estate Professionals Thinking?

Commercial real estate is a broad field, and blogs are available for owners, tenants, prospects, and investors. A good place to start exploring this specialized area of the blogosphere is a recent update on the Bigger Pockets Blog called "Top 35 Real Estate Blogs." Although this update casts a wide net, you may find blogs here that contain information you cannot find elsewhere.

Joshua Dorkin, the author of the update, provides commentary on the changes in the real estate blogging "scene" and includes a list of recommended blogs, such as The Tenant Advisor, which can provide insight into the kind of advice your tenants and prospects may be receiving.

Blogs Supplement Monthly Magazines for Commercial Real Estate Professionals
Since many commercial real estate publications are monthly, blog updates are an efficient and convenient way to stay current. One example is the Facilities Blog sponsored by Today's Facility Manager (TFM) magazine. This lively blog not only provides timely information from a wide variety of sources, but also adds convenient summary lists of "Most Popular," "Recent," and "Most Commented" TFM blog updates to help you choose what to read.

Should Your Organization Start an Internal Blog?
We recently started an internal blog that extends and strengthens the collaborative spirit that we encourage through our customer-centric culture. Launching an internal blog in your organization can help reinforce a similar culture.
