- 02/15/09 08:29 AM
I had a listing appointment on Sunday morning. I met with a nice young couple who lived in one of my farm areas, Carrolwood, a townhome community in Naperville. They are hoping to buy a bigger home... The appointment went great. As we spoke, the sellers told me how they had called other agents, but they never received return calls... I wasn't surprised. I hear this a lot. I find that so strange... The wife was impressed that I returned her call within an "hour or so." I was disappointed. I expect more of myself... I try to answer most of my calls. When I don't, I get back (32 comments)
blogging: "HI KEN, I FOUND YOU ON THE INTERNET..."

It was music to my ears. Probably the goal of anyone using blogging to enhance their online presence. And I have heard it 3 times in the last week. Pretty incredible for me. I have always had my website. Static. A necessity for a Realtor, for sure. But not interactive at all. It never really answered the question, "Who is Ken Tracy?" That's where my blog came in. I committed myself to active participation on the real estate network Active Rain back in February of this year. I have always enjoyed the experience, exchanging ideas and challenges with Realtors across the country. But (71 comments)

- 04/03/08 03:52 AM
I have been an active writer on this forum since February 15th. I have written 60 posts. I have made 361 comments on other posts, and received over 400 comments on mine. Do I really have that much to say? With 23 subscribers and growing, I hope I don't let you down... I am writing to announce/warn the #5 Agent in my town of Naperville, Dan Jungclas, that I am about to knock him off his stoop. Dan, I have never met you. You have a nice picture, and a great haircut. But I am coming to get you. You see, I am ranked #6 in (15 comments)
blogging: Blogging my day away...
- 03/30/08 11:03 AM
Yesterday, I wrote how it was a great day to buy a house here in Naperville, Illinois. It was cool by late March standards, but sunny with no wind. I don't think temperature matters too much, but I feel the sun really buts people in a real estate mood. And I had a good real estate day yesteday but... Today I really blogged most of the day away. I look at the clock. 6:00 PM. The second basketball game is just rapping up. Romero won the golf tournament. But where did my day go??? The weather today was grey and wet. As my wife (8 comments)
