Not enough data
AJ LaTrace's coverage primarily revolves around the real estate industry, with a focus on local (United States, Washington, Seattle) news and developments. He frequently cites data and press releases in his articles.
Given AJ's focus on the real estate industry with an emphasis on local matters, he is likely to be interested in pitches that offer insights or commentary from experts within the real estate sector. This could include professionals specializing in home sales, mortgage trends, market analysis, or NAR-related matters.
Additionally, considering his reliance on data and government/private sector announcements for content creation suggests that he may value access to exclusive information or interviews with key figures involved in significant developments within the real estate industry. If you have specific expertise related to local Seattle real estate market trends or unique data-driven insights into housing issues affecting this region specifically, it would likely capture AJ's attention.
