7 Reasons Real Estate Agents Should Love To Blog

January 14th, 2008 categories: 3 Legged Horses

1. Gets you away from your computer! (Oh really you say?) Yes, it does involve movement if your blog requires it.  Study Aaron’s blog and you know he out of his comfy chair exploring the Atlanta area to get some great blog ideas.

2. Forces you to talk to real people (other that your clients).That’s definitely what Crofton Realtor, Margaret had to do to design this great post Snowbird Express

3. Gives you something to envy, learn and study such as: 

•  picture taking St Paul Churches 
•  being funny Man poses as Buyer
•  staging Before and After Pictures
•  writing  copywriting tips

4. Becoming an expert means more than knowing how to sell a house. You will have to uncover all sorts of things about your market area to be “the local real estate expert” Read Marty’s blog about Alaska’s Real Estate and you’ll know he studies his area. Or on the other end of the nation, Jackie has a pulse on Tampa’s real estate.

5. Once I poke my toe into the waters of the internet, I better have my facts straight.  I’ve heard agents say some off the wall things to clients, knowing clients probably wouldn’t call their bluff to their face. But be sure that someone would set you straight if you said the same thing in a blog. (and they should)

6. I want to work with informed clients, the more I can share  with those thinking about real estate, the better.  Our relationship will be easier and richer because of my blog.

7. I never get bored with my profession, because there is always more to learn, more to share, more people to meet and that’s why I love blogging about real estate.

   Thanks for mentioning one of my blog posts! This is a great little tour around the real estate blogosphere. I’ve learned so much, and become a much better Realtor, by reading real estate blogs.

   Your right, Real Estate is not boring. I am an easily bored person, but I have never been bored since I became a Realtor. There is always something to learn and new ways to do things.

   Your blog is a great example of doing something new. You are doing a great job of it. If I were looking for real estate in the Kuna or Nampa area I would scour your blog to learn all I could.

   My daughter is looking for a summer job in your Idaho this summer. I’ll have to tell her to look you up.

   You’re right, you can’t blog localized real estate without getting out of the chair!

   Real Estate is certainly not boring. We are new to the blogging world and learning about another great tool takes time, just like learning how to write a contract. It will only benefit our clients in the future. The more we learn the more informed they are.
