Real Estate: Call for Ideas and Questions
11/05/2007
Hello, my dear reader (or readers on a good day 😀 ). I need some input here. I’ve decided to introduce a new category to my blog, dealing with one of my professional fields, i.e. real estate. I will be writing about rules and regulations on Slovenian market and try to address the most frequently asked questions that potential buyers – and sellers, renters or tenants for that matter – might have.
I am looking for a cool category / post series title and possibly for some questions you might have.
Shoot. The panda sure did. (Will explain this one later.)
PS: Dobrodošla so tudi vprašanja v slovenskem jeziku.

Super ideja! Mislim, da boš marsikomu pomagala pri razčiščevanju pojmov. Jaz sem ti nekaj svojih vprašanj že pred časom postavila v mailu. 😉

Call me a conservative stick in the mud, but I would stick with something clear, like “everything you wanted to know about slovenian real estate.” Something that will pop up on, say, google searches.
Just a thought.

Maybe “Dom means Home” or something? I agree with Michael’s idea to have something clear, but maybe the clear title can be the subtitle. So it’d be:
Dom Means Home: A Comprehensive Guide to Slovenian Real Estate
…or something.
I am interested in a lot of these questions quite a bit. I am first off interested in it as a foreigner and secondly as someone who is learning about business and investments. I am also interested in the historical and political aspects: how has the market changed? what are new and positive developments for young families/ first time buyers struggling to buy homes? where are the resources? what is the process? Also government policy, what was it during Yugoslavia times? How has it changed? what are some of the common pitfalls?
This is a VERY good idea. I am excited to see how it all shapes up!

I think both Michael M. & Camille make very sensible points. While a punning title might be fun, you’re (new) readers would probably appreciate a straightforward approach.
As someone (a foreigner!) who’s bought a property in Slovenia, I found the process very smooth. That said, my purchase was made considerably easier by extensive research and a fantastic agent 😉
There’s lots of information out there, some contradictory, spread across a wide range of sites. It would certainly be boon to have it all in one place, and (using your article on Lipizzaners as a yardstick) I don’t doubt the article(s) would be comprehensive and thorough!

@Adriaan: (blush) I will try… I have just posted the first real estate post and will just go with the flow. When it comes to the title as well…
