India is a country is where millions of people is to leave in the rural areas. However, in the last few years, things are changing very rapidly and millions of people are now migrating to the cities. So, urban development is a top priority for Indian government and many private companies are now entering the real estate sector. So, what is the big deal about Noida? I am quoting from Wikipedia:
under the UP Industrial Area Development Act.(NOIDA stands for New Okhala Industrial Development Area) It has first-class months, the decision was reversed yet again in 2004 and the city was once again made into a separate district. There were some allegations of political favours through low-priced land deals due to these decisions. Presently, the city is a separate district, called Gautam Budh Nagar, with its administrative HQ at SurajPur, a nearby town. However, the highest government official, the District Magistrate (DM) stays in Noida. The city falls under the Noida-Dadri legislative assembly seat (Vidhan Sabha) and Khurja Parliamentary seat (Lok Sabha).
Noida is situated towards the north of India close to Delhi. it is bound on the west and south-west by the river Yamuna, on the north and north-west by Delhi, on the north-east by Delhi and Ghaziabad and on the north-east, east and south-east by the river Hindon. Noida falls under the catchment area of the Yamuna river and is based on the old river bed. The soil is mainly rich and loamy soil [1]and is suitable for growing seasonal vegetables, grains like wheat and cash crops like sugarcane. With the advent of urbanisation, vegetables and fruits are now the main crops.[citation needed]. The area has dry deciduous tress like Sal, Sheesham and Teak.
I have to tell that I’m not surprised to see that many people are interested about Noida simply because real estate sector in India will only grow for the next one or two decade. Many people are interested to get some property in Noida as the investment of today will bring a lot of benefit tomorrow.

Interview of Dan Rafter: A Real Estate Blogger
In America, Real Estate sector has been badly hit by sub prime crisis. Still, people do not stop buying homes because having a home is not just a home, it is a dream. People spend their life savings to find a suitable place to spend the rest of their life in peace and comfort. If you are one of those, who has not stopped dreaming of owning a house despite hearing about the bad condition of real estate sectors then Dan Rafter is the one you should turn to. He is well experienced and has been writing for news papers like Chicago Tribune, Washington Post, Christian Science Monitor, Home Magazine or BusinessWeek Online. He also works as an editor for Metro Chicago Real Estate Magazine. If you are an aspiring real estate agent or businessmen then you should check out Dan Rafter’s blogs for it contains some great advice and tips for real estate business people. He has 3 blogs.
I found Dan in Absolute Write Forum (I hang out there on a regular basis). I read some of his entries and became interested for interviewing him. I sent Dan some questions and he responded earlier today. Here is the interview of Dan Rafter:
Razib Ahmed: You have been covering the real estate business for ten years. What was your motivation to get into this business?
Dan Rafter: I’d been working as a freelance writer for five years when I took the plunge and applied for an editor position at a real estate trade magazine in Chicago. I got the job, and then quickly learned what a fascinating business residential real estate is. At that time, the housing industry was going through a boom period, and agents and mortgage loan officers were making tons of money. It was an exciting business to cover then, and is still an exciting one now.
Razib Ahmed: You have been blogging for past six months. What are the problems you faced as a real estate blogger?
Dan Rafter: The biggest challenge is the same as any blogger faces: How do you get visitors to come to your blog as opposed to the thousands upon thousands of competitors. Unfortunately, I don’t have any secret answer to that question. What I try to do is to focus on my strengths. As a reporter, I know how to write. So I put up well-written, well-researched blog posts. My posts can’t usually be read in 10 seconds like those of some other bloggers. You won’t find any two- or three-sentence posts on www.propertycrossroads.com or www.blogprorealty.net. It also helps that I enjoy writing about real estate, and I hope that shows in my posts.
Razib Ahmed: How much time do you give after your blog every day?
Dan Rafter: I currently run three blogs. The third, http://indycomics.today.com, focuses on the world of independent comics. (I also freelance for comics publishers.) All told, I try to spend less than two hours a day on my blogs, including promoting them. That’s the only way to make the blogs cost-effective. As a freelance writer, I have to make sure I’m earning enough money every day.
Razib Ahmed: You have ten years of experience in writing about the real-estate business. It is a service oriented business where reputation matters most and you have that. People would take your opinion seriously but will that be the case for a person who is new in this business. Will blogging help him/her that much? What will be your suggestion for such novice bloggers?
Dan Rafter: I think that even novice real estate agents can make good impressions if they write good posts showing a strong knowledge of the industry. No one has to know when looking at agents’ blogs how long they’ve been in the industry. There’s no reason for agents to promote themselves as being new to the home-selling business. It also doesn’t take decades of experience to have a strong knowledge of what works and what doesn’t when selling real estate. Those agents who can provide a blog filled with local information and useful tips for buying and selling homes will be respected, no matter how new they are to the business.
Razib Ahmed: Suppose you are an experienced real estate agent or someone running a real estate service. You also have a blog with lots of good information and you update it regularly but don’t you think you have to equally emphasize on promoting your blog?
Dan Rafter: Certainly promotion is key. If you don’t promotion your blog it will get lost in the sea of competitors out there. I recommend that agents feature their blog’s address prominently on all their marketing materials, including their business cards, print ads and “For Sale” signs. They should also spend some time posting on real estate sites and message boards, being sure to leave their blog address in their signature.
Razib Ahmed: There are many blogs that allows guest authors. Do you have any plans to allow guest authors especially, other real estate industry people contribute to your blog. It can be a great way to promote your blog.
Dan Rafter: I’d be happy to do that. I haven’t done it yet, but it’s certainly a good idea.
Razib Ahmed: You said real estate bloggers should avoid ever green topics. Do you think, instead of writing on such topics, giving pictures of houses and rooms that the blogger (the agent) decorated is a great idea? It will also show his/her expertise in about houses and redecoration.
Dan Rafter: That’s a fantastic idea. Actually, anything that personalizes a real estate blog – that sets it apart from other blogs – is a great idea. Also, anything that showcases an agent’s skills is a wonderful thing to post.
Razib Ahmed: Aside from giving posts on local market, statistics, what other issues a real estate agent should cover in his/her blog?
Dan Rafter: They should focus on real tips, not ones that readers have read thousands of times already, to help sellers move their homes and buyers find their ideal home. I’d also include suggestions on how to make the negotiation process between buyers and sellers move more smoothly. They may also want to address the way the media cover the housing market, and maybe correct what they consider misstatements or mistakes. I know that many real estate agents hate the way that newspapers, T.V. and radio cover the housing market.
Razib Ahmed: America is now facing economic slow down. Real Estate sector is badly hit. What message of hope you can give to home buyers/sellers and real estate agents?
Dan Rafter: That’s a tough one. My Property Crossroads blog has been filled lately with bad news, very gloom and doom. But that’s the market right now. I’d say to agents and homesellers to try and wait things out. The real estate business has always been a cyclical one. This bad market won’t last forever. It was a necessary correction, in my opinion. Housing prices were rising too fast, too quickly. It was unsustainable. When the market does begin to improve, I think we’ll see a more realistic, and, therefore, a healthier market than we saw during the boom times. For buyers, I’d say, “Go buy a house!” Seriously, prices are low and sellers are desperate. This is a great time to be a buyer … unless you have a home of your own to sell.
Razib Ahmed: How long it would take for the real estate sector to recover from the ongoing crisis.
Dan Rafter: No one knows this for sure, but most real estate analysts I’ve interviewed say to expect a gradual recovery beginning in mid- to late-2009. In 2010, they say, the market should be on the way back.
Razib Ahmed: What is your future plan with this blog?
Dan Rafter: I’d like to build up traffic on all my blogs, and use them, of course, to generate other business, most notably new freelance stories.
