New real estate blog launched with support from Universal Lending and Land Title
Edited by former Rocky reporter John Rebchook with contributions from Oliver Frascona, Inside Real Estate News aims to be top source on the real estate industry
DENVER -- Former Rocky Mountain News reporter John Rebchook and Denver’s premier real estate lawyer Oliver Frascona have teamed up to create Inside Real Estate News, a new blog that aims to become the premier source of news on the metro Denver real estate industry.
Sponsored by the Universal Lending Corporation, one of the leading mortgage banks in Colorado, and Land Title Guarantee Company, Inside Real Estate News will provide news and commentary on real estate businesses and trends throughout metro Denver.
The blog will contain in-depth news on such issues as foreclosures subsiding in Denver, and it will give readers a quick look at interesting items like the praise Denver received in Newsweek for its green efforts. The blog will also contain features on some of Denver’s leading experts in the real estate industry, like this week’s interview with top broker Dee Chirafisi.
“For years I looked forward to reading John’s stories in the Rocky Mountain News, and I’ve just really missed his reports these last few months,” said Pete Lansing, Universal Lending’s president who also sits on the Board of Directors for the Colorado Mortgage Lenders Association. “With John and Oliver teaming up to provide the best and most insightful news and analysis on the industry, I know this blog quickly will become a favorite of everyone in the business. I’m really excited about the opportunity for Universal Lending to bring meaningful and useful news to the whole industry.”
Rebchook has more than 30 years of experience in writing and communications. As the Real Estate Editor for the Rocky Mountain News, he wrote about residential and commercial real estate for 26 years.
Frascona is a shareholder in Frascona, Joiner, Goodman and Greenstein, P.C., a Colorado law firm. Frascona is the leading continuing education instructor for Realtors © throughout the Denver region. His practice areas include real estate, brokerage law, contracts, finance, land use, leasing, real estate title, business law, association law and litigation.
“John Rebchook is the consummate real estate journalist and he brings decades of knowledge and experience to his new role as editor and writer of InsideRealEstateNews.com. Combining John’s expertise with that of Oliver Frascona will make InsideRealEstateNews.com an exciting and effective new way to reach the Front Range real estate industry with in-depth commentary. John and Oliver can provide important information about residential real estate on a more frequent basis so that the business community and consumer can make informed decisions and stay current on industry information. We look forward to the launch of InsideRealEstateNews.com and believe it has the potential to become the leader in the Front Range in residential real estate industry news reporting,” said President John E. Freyer, Land Title Guarantee Company (www.ltgc.com).
