EXTRA! EXTRA! Sparky & Buckwheat of SoundBiteBlog make the Kitsap Sun Sunday Edition

By
Real Estate Agent with Fathom Realty West Sound WA State 52404

Our local newspaper, the Kitsap Sun, ran an article this Sunday on the front page, entitled " Most Kitsap Sellers Missing Out on Trend Towards Higher Prices," written by Steven Gardner.

 Steve called last Friday and asked me for an interview. He had found me through SOUNDBITEBLOG, a local real estate blog that I co-author with fellow Rainer, Mark Flanders.

 

Most of what you see when you access SoundBite is attributed to my esteemed colleague, Buckwheat (Mark). He created the site from scratch and fine tunes our SEO constantly. The guy is absolutely amazing. We meet for coffee every Thursday morning, and I keep hoping some of his MOJO will pour over onto me. Even though we've only been up since mid-January, the amount of traffic we're getting is incredible!

 It certainly doesn't hurt to get this kind of local exposure either. And not to mention what it does to enhance your credibility as a local real estate expert.

Yet another testimony to the power, value, and effectiveness of blogging, whether here in the Rain, or on your own local 'Other' blogsite.

Blog often, Blog Well.....

Thanks for posting.  Bremerton is my hometown!  Moving to Kirkland/Bellevue, I've had mixed replies when saying where I'm from.  However, I've made really good investments in Kitsap and will continue to do so.

Rich, I didn't know that articles had been published until my wife asked if I had read it!

Thanks for the kind words about the site BUT, you know a site is only as good as the content on it! And over half the content was penned by Sparky! This kind of local exposure is very satisfying and exactly what we want. Thanks for all your hard work. It's paying off.

It's been a fun ride. We make a great team :)

How awesome! It is exciting when your blog gets noticed by the press, When my "hate" post got picked up by the press the results were incredible. I'm still getting e-mails and comments about it. Congratulations.
