Hat Trick - Featured Three Times in Major Real Estate Publications This Year!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Madeline Island Realty 50317-90

2010 has been a pretty awesome year for me, at least from a public relations standpoint.

Since the beginning of the year, I've been privileged to be featured three times in major real estate publications.  In the January/February 2010 issue of The Residential Specialist magazine, I was interviewed by Regina Ludes in an article entitled "Letter Perfect".  The article focused on ways to promote the CRS (Certified Residential Specialist) designation to clients and colleagues in the real estate industry.

The Residential Specialist - January & February 2010

In the March/April 2010 issue of The Residential Specialist magazine, I was interviewed again by Regina Ludes, for a "State of the Market" article, in which I quoted market statistics on the Minneapolis and Saint Paul metropolitan area.

And last week, Realtor Magazine published an article by Editor-in-Chief Stacey Moncrieff about my participation in the Wisconsin Realtors Association Equal Opportunity in Housing committee, as part of an effort to amend the Realtor Code of Ethics to protect LGBT consumers from discrimination in housing.

The origin of the work described in the Realtor Magazine article actually began here on ActiveRain.  You'll find the details below:

That is awesome, Eric!  AR is a powerful tool but it is also your "voice" and interpretations that  make people want to quote you. This is well deserved recognition.
