Food For Fodder – 101 Real Estate Blog Topics
By Teresa Boardman


In my last post on the Tomato I wrote about writing being the biggest obstacle for real estate professionals who want to have a blog.  

Some of  our readers commented that figuring out what to write about poses the greatest challenge. 

It is hard for many to come up with topics so I wrote a list of 101 topic ideas for real estate professionals who want to have a blog to expand their internet presence and to meet the home buyers and sellers who live inside their computer. 

Potential clients are in your computer right now and are looking for great agents and lenders to work with.  The idea is to build enough rapport so they will stop hiding and give us a call or send an email.  Lets face it, consumers believe we all have horns and a tail and we need to put them at ease and establish a little credibility before we can earn their trust and their business.

The best posts come from the every day life of a real estate professional.  There is also what I call “the real estate bloggers conundrum”:  If we spend too much time writing, we don't have time to sell real estate, if we don't sell real estate, we don't have those experiences to write about.  Our day-to-day lives and experiences in the real estate industry are filled with blog food, look for it, find it and start typing.

This is great! I have put together lists like these for bloggers as well, here on AR. Sometimes writers blog-ck can set in, and lists like these are very handy. Thank you for providing this link.

Blog Food.. I find it when driving, when I have "special buyers" when ever I had a great real estate experience, as you said they're everywhere...

Thanks for the post!

Great list!  I've already got some of those on my list of 200+  :-)

Figuring out what to write about it not the issue for me... it's finding the time!  I think I'll probably just have to settle for writing shorter posts or splitting the bigger ones into parts.

You are right about the content problems and i myself is having the same problem as the real estate industry does require a technical detail at times to be able to produce quality posts in my blog.
