Just who is that fetching real estate agent in the photo at the bottom of the front page of the latest RE/MAX Times? Yes, it’s me. I was interviewed at the end of July for an article in the September edition of the RE/MAX Times that goes out to all RE/MAX offices around the nation and, I believe, around the world. With RE/MAX being one of the largest real estate franchises this article is going to give us a lot of exposure to other agents.
What, pray tell, is the article about? Well, you’re reading the gist of it – right now. It’s about how I’ve taken on blogging online (I’ve been doing various online writing ventures for a couple of years now) as well being involved in many other internet networking venues. The online venue I’ve been on longest and which I’ve been writing specific real estate opinions for is Realty Times. I write for 10 different neighborhoood/city areas which then is posted on Realtor.com under “Market Conditions”, I’ve been writing in this venue for about 3 years; I’ve written for Rain City Guide (group real estate blog) for about a year now; I joined Judy’s Book (online business review site) before that; there is a MySpace page; I’m now on FaceBook; our MSN page gets some updates; and the list keeps growing. The most recent addition was me getting this blog up and running as of early July 2007 so we had our own specific blog with our domain name as part of the address. We’re launching a new website (www.TeamReba.com) soon so it made sense for us to do this now. What I really love about this format is that we can have multiple contributors from many facets of the real estate industry.
I’ll be curious to see how many other RE/MAX agents end up contacting me via the newspaper article and how many will be looking to get additional advice about blogging or if it might lead to some good networking connections. Either way, it’s always nice to be recognized. 🙂 I’m ready for my close up………
