Don't Get Caught On Your Knees Sifting For Gold When You Could Be On Stage, Making A Lasting Impression.

 

I am so proud of the real estate industry.  You've come so far!

 

In the latter half of the 90's decade, as the Internet promised to be a modern gold rush, curiously, Realtors showed little interest.  It wasn't until just recently that the Realtor's personal website was accepted as an obligatory expense.  The irony is that now it has little chance of being effective.

But today, I actually have faith in the real estate agent's embrace of the Internet as an effective marketing tool. 

As much as the $500 brochure website of yesteryear catered to the ego of the Glamour Shots® agent, it failed to jibe with their gregarious nature.  Affable and outgoing agents couldn't recognize any immediate relevance to their obvious business model; network, network, network. 

Yet now, with the rise of Social Media, Realtors are feeling much more at home online, recognizing the opportunity to leverage the Internet as a viable networking tool.

Where it once seemed that Realtors needed to be dragged into the 21st century, they are now marching forward in droves.  A rush, if you will.

But there's a problem.

I do enjoy technology but like to blog when I am passionate about something ! Honestly though, it does take time to think and write the relevant stuff but then sometimes I also feel there is not enough time in the day to do everything and also sell homes

Most of the stuff in the article was relevant.....comment be involved.....provide valuable or at least interesting information.  Some good reminders.

I did like the analogy to the gold rush.

Mr Tomato......I've seen you on the web before and I knew we must be related somehow.  You are a very wise tomato and your sense of humor is great!  Great post!

It took me at least 6 months to decide to become an AR member.  Not sure why it took so long, but now that I'm here, I am doing all I can to get to the top and become a leader.  I am trying to secure a large following, am trying to be more consistent in my blog posts, and am trying to communicate to anyone and everyone I can.  I believe it is starting to work.
