I'm a third generation real estate pro who has lived and breathed this subject ever since I started working in my family's construction business at a young age. That's how it all started, but the obsession naturally merged with my career as a reporter more years ago than I can count. I cover real estate from nearly every angle. Market movements. Architecture and Design. Industry trends. And, most importantly, how to make the best of the best investment. My work has appeared in The Washington Post, New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and a variety of other publications. As a part-Brit I divide my time between Washington D.C. and Oxford, England depending on the weather. Email tips and stories to amydobsonRE@gmail.com.
