AGBeat Columnist: Poppy Dinsey
Poppy Dinsey works in Business Development at
Globrix, the UK property search engine. She lives and works in London, which she loves except for the awful weather and lack of good pecan pie. She's got a pretty nifty degree in Eastern European Economics from UCL, which she readily admits she's never put to good use, although she did once dress up a Russian Bond Girl. You can find her on
Twitter,
12Seconds,
Seesmic and pretty much everywhere that's ever had a website.
How To Meet And Greet, Global Style.
I’ve had a blast this week rockin’ out at Inman Real Estate Connect, I’ve met some amazing people and learnt a silly amount. Ines taught us all that sleep is overrated, Jay reminded us not to write for search engines (cuz it will suck) and Jeff Turner hammered home that you need to be striving to engage with your audience, ...
Gah. It’s New Year Resolution Time!
Trailer trash credit One of the things I love about Rosh Hashanah, is that it marks the start of a ‘New Year’ without all the pressure of resolutions (the honey cake is good too, but that’s irrelevant). In my book, if you want to lose weight, quit drinking juice from the carton or whatever then you don’t need to wait ...
It’s Oh So Quiet
Not my empty office I should point out, we’re not that old skool at Globrix. I’m going on vacation tomorrow and I really, really, want to just relax. I don’t want to schlep all the way to Israel to switch on my cellphone and start working. If I book a week off work, I want my week off work dammit! ...

The Latest From London
Photo Credit Before I get started on British RE news, I just want to remind you of the beauty of Google Docs. Why? Because I just wrote a long and, if I dare say so myself, rather witty blog post and then deleted the whole thing like a nincompoop just before hitting publish. So remember kids, if you want your ...
Oh Noes, The Cat Got My Tongue
The chatterbox is silenced You know what? I’m never stuck for things to say. I could talk for England, and I regularly do. But the last few weeks have been hard for me and I’m terrified the crappy economy has sucked the love out of blogging for me. Now I don’t sell houses, nor do I lease them, or show ...
The Latest From London…
Photo Credit There’s been one news item this week that has overshadowed everything else that’s been on our tellys and in our papers. Okay, that’s not strictly true. Obama’s presidential victory was a huuuuge news story here and even the contents of his iPod have been deemed newsworthy this week. But in terms of homegrown news, you’d have to have ...
What’s Been Going On Over The Pond This Week?
Is it Sunday again so quick? Darn! Well before we get ready to head back to the office tomorrow, let’s take a look at the the stories that rocked the world of UK real estate this past week. I’ve got to say, none of these compared to the story of the week…THE FACT IT SNOWED! Yep, for the first October ...
A New Sunday Series From Your British Correspondent
Photo Credit I <3 Sundays Sundays are great in the UK. We have really big newspapers with all sorts of colourful supplements, we have traditional ‘Sunday Lunches’ (roast beef/lamb/pork/chicken, roast potatoes, all sorts of veg and lashings of gravy) and if you’re really lucky there’ll be a nice family film on the box at around 3pm. It’s also the perfect ...
The UK Way To Buy And Sell A House
I’m Confuzzled I’ve been reading and obsessing about the US property market for about a year and a half now, and do ya wanna know something silly? I still don’t get it. Compared to the process over here, your way seems bloody complicated to say the least. I don’t mean to be rude by any means, our way is not ...
Vote For Your Business This November
Photo Credit OMG McCain just ate an apple! I can’t quite believe that in a couple of months it will all be over, this Presidential race seems to have dragged on forever. It has been impossible to escape from, whether it’s the TV, newspapers or radio…and this is in little old England for goodness sake! I can’t actually fathom how ...
This Time, It’s Personal
Photo Credit I’m Clever Those of you who already know me, will be aware that I’m exceptionally clever. That being said, even a superstar like me can screw up royally. The old adage of ‘keep business and pleasure separate’ has recently come up and slapped me round the chops. As a phrase, it’s not one I tend to agree with, ...
