Real Estate and More by Merv and Pam Forney About the Author

You will find a complete Index of Articles by Category and by Month in the Archives.

March 25, 2005

Thanks for visiting. We will periodically publish real estate articles in topics of interest. These are intended to be serious (or not too serious) discussions of contemporary real estate issues. If you have questions, comments, thoughts, agreements, disagreements or anything else, you can post or ask here (Comments below). Be candid.

Our interests also include general business issues, wine collecting (really buying, holding and enjoying) and genealogy. I am the business and wine enthusiast. Pam is the genealgogist. She will comment on real estate too.


We will ultimately syndicate these discussions so you can get notices of interest right on your desktop (as soon as I can figure out what this really means). In the meantime, email will be the notification method. We are not responsible for content or comments posted by others. Be assured that if comments become inappropriate in our sole judgment, they will be removed and the commenter will be banned. We practice safe blogging.

Do you have expertise in a subject area under CATEGORIES and want to join our WebLog as an author? Have a suggestion on other related topics? Just post a comment below (Comments) and we will send you entry instructions.

It will be interesting to see where this experiment leads us.

Our best regards,
Merv and Pam Forney
