I found this today in the LA Times while checking out some other real estate related info:
Robert J. Bruss, an author, investment expert and syndicated real estate columnist whose advice appeared in newspapers across the country for more than two decades, died Wednesday at his Burlingame, Calif., home, according to Inman News, the Emeryville, Calif., news service that distributes his column. He was 67.
The cause of death was cancer, said Bradley J. Inman, his friend and publisher.
Bruss, who began writing his column 23 years ago, was sometimes called the “Dear Abby of Real Estate” for his straightforward, knowledgeable writing on questions that often perplex consumers. He wrote about such matters as how to prepare a house for sale, whether vacation homes were good investments and how to choose a Realtor or home inspector.
I’ve been a fan of Bob Bruss for awhile. You can’t do too much real estate blogging or real estate news reading without coming across something he wrote. His contributions to educating the public about the real estate industry are immeasurable.
