June 28, 2008

As a real estate marketing blogger and webmaster for the Crystal Coast Blog, one of the very best ways to gain greater insight in blogs and blogging is to “connect” with other bloggers and learn from them. That’s why I will be joining many other real estate marketing consultants, web marketing experts and real estate bloggers at the Real Estate Connect Conference scheduled for July 22-26 in San Francisco.

Marketing Tips, Breakout Sessions and San Francisco

Real Estate Prospecting – Back To The Basics

June 18, 2008

Contrary to the gloom and doom being spread throughout the real estate industry, real estate sales is rather predictable. This is true in every market cycle, the key is to know what to look for and what to measure.

There are actions that we must take that will create known reactions. Too often, I hear agents talk about market conditions as if the market has the ability to shut down one’s production. Now, I suspect if we went into the great depression, something like that would be possible. But the fact is that a single agent does not have to be affected by market conditions if the agent understands where the business really comes from. It is time to go back to the basics. Read more

A Simple Piece of Software for Real Estate Bloggers

May 3, 2008

Sometimes it’s the simplest applications that are the most effective. And that certainly is the case with a great piece of software that I recently discovered. If you’re an active Blogger than chances are you have run into this situation. You copy and paste text into your blog (such as a quote from another real estate blogger) only to find that the pasted information is a different font, color, or size.

What is Your Blogging Objective?

March 19, 2008

Blogging for Enlightenment

I have been reading the Maverick blog by Mark Cuban recently. If you haven’t had a chance to read his post, I recommend you give it a try. In fact, recently I’ve been reading several blogs authored by C-level corporate types. The variety of topics are both interesting and thought-provoking. Mark (Owner of the Dallas Mavericks NBA team) seems to get on his occasional anti-big media rants but always makes his point about blogging in a manner that helps you understand how to build your brand and elevate the perception of your product or service in the eye of the public. His no-holds barred blogging style is both transparent and honest. He has a pretty big ego, but then again, look what (or who) he has to deal with on a day to day basis. Talk about egos – NBA ballers must possess the biggest egos of all. I’m not prone for recommending many blogs but in this case, I say give it try and let me know what you think. Be prepared – it’s different!
