About Second Shelters

Since its launch in October, 2010, SecondShelters.com has established itself as the center of the second, vacation and investment home real estate universe offering readers House Porn Candy, sales and insight, community comparisons, investment info, celebrity deals, new developments, the “f” word (foreclosures), where it’s hot, where it’s not, and of course the latest gossip. We do it all from our base in Dallas/Fort Worth, where everyone likes to get out of Dodge come August. Unlike 99% of the sites out there, SecondShelters‘ content is created by an award-winning national  journalist who isn’t trying to sell you a home; a journalist who went to real estate school to sleep with the enemy; a journalist who visits and reviews each property, eyes the neighborhood and kicks the tires hard in her Louboutins. Make no mistake: Candy Evans tells it like it is. Updated daily, reported accurately for the real estate consumer, and always spiced with dish from readers and experts, SecondShelters is a daily fix for anyone with Second Home House Addiction or who has ever dreamed of multiple home ownership… because one is never enough.

ADVERTISING
Do we accept advertising? Is the sky blue? At Second Shelters, advertising on the site  does not influence our editorial coverage one bit. In fact, we have been known to scream about bathtubs that are not deep enough, doorways not wide enough, and wire coat hangers. Unlike our taste in wine, our rates are very reasonable. For more about advertising, please see our advertising page.

Are we shy? Hell, no. Candy Evans speaks to various consumer and real estate groups on a regular basis.

Please send your pitch to Candy. And maybe change the sheets: we’re coming for a visit.

DISCLAIMER
SecondShelters is a consumer information site but it cannot help publishing gossip and possible rumors, also conjecture, certainly opinions, all sprinkled in with accurately reported factual information. We are a lot of fun but we are not perfect. (Darn.) The site may contain errors or inaccuracies. We do not guarantee, and no reliance should be placed upon, the correctness or reliability of SecondShelter’s content. Hey, this is the internet age: links to content and quotation of material from other sites are not the responsibility of SecondShelters. But we really do want to get it right and will correct all factual inaccuracies if kindly brought to our attention.
