We are being followed.... they hear our opinions....

I have seen the light and realize the importance of Blogging and properly voicing my opinions in professional platforms designed for Real Estate like Truila and Active Rain.  We are being followed and voices are being heard. Here's a recent blog I did on Activerain. 

This is my response to Ann:  Ann, I got a call from a Wall Street Journal Reporter, on http://www.trulia.com/voices/my_answers/60339 Nancy Keates - WSJ Columnist Nancy Keates at nancy.keates@wsj.com.... It was a wonderful afirmation for me... that maybe, I'm on the right track... The strategy I use with listings is really something I've done for a few years now.  As an experienced Realtor and Broker in my demographic region, I feel it's my "hallmark" to list homes within the market value... It's just good business all the way around.  Nancy told me in mid December when we spoke, that she would want to interview me for her piece on getting Seller's to be "Realistic" and reality based with pricing their home. A few days later, I wrote her a huge 5 page e-mail and kindly returned her call... Nancy never called back and never responed to my e-mail... I'm fine with that... and I certain know how crazy and busy her life as a Report must be.  She was very nice though, and I learned some important things.  First and foremost, tt is apparent that we are being followed...And, people who are searching for information which is key to our industry are coming to sites like Activerain and Truila.  Today, I believe that it is VITAL for us as professionals to become interactive and active with potential clients.  Both sites offer exceptional formats for us to become active and heard.  I encourage every Realtor to start Blogging.  Also important, is your participation on the Social Networking Sites.  My two key social networking sites are Facebook and Linkedin.  The most important thing I have learned is that our industry has changed!!!  And, we to not have to be technolgy experts to participate!  If we can point and click, that's all we need to do!
