7 Real Estate WordPress Blog Essentials

Last week’s Social Media Marketing Camp’s blogging webinar was such a success that I decided to write a follow-up post on 7 Real Estate WordPress Blog Essentials.

Real Estate Blogger Sued for $25 Million

It had to happen sooner or later – a real estate blogger was sued in Florida for $25 million.

Lucas Lechuga had a bad day.

First he was sued for $25 Million by a Florida developer who didn’t like what Lucas had to say about one of his developments and felt defamed by information published in Lucas’s blog about Miami Condo Investments. (I’d give you a link to the site but it’s been taken down).

Then he was fired by his employing broker at EWM.
