Does Your REALTOR® 'Blog'?

Real Estate Agent with Real Estate Marketplace - Louisville KY

Blog - Realtor in Louisville

Don't feel bad if you don't exactly know what I'm asking here. Even for those that are familiar with what blogging is, it is not a question that I'd expect many homeowners to consider when selecting a Realtor to market their home for sale. Even at first thought, many would reveal that they'd rather their Realtor not blog and simply focus on selling their home. Understandable!

Why should you care whether your Realtor blogs or not? For starters, it allows you to begin the interview process before ever picking up the phone to speak with an agent. You'll have 24/7 access to a particular Realtor's philosophy on homeownership, marketing & promotion, communication and many other aspects specific to the home selling process. You will also gain insight to the success of that Realtor and what makes them more successful than the other agents you've spoken with. You'll be able to gauge that Realtor's personality, style and approach, and determine on your own time whether he/she is a professional worthy of your trust and business.

So do I blog? Absolutely! Every day as a matter of fact...and you're reading it right now! Many of my posts are public and can be found The Louisville Drop, your obligation-free source of real estate information specific to our Louisville market. You'll find frequently updated information that will positively influence the results of your future real estate transactions.

What does blogging do for me? The short answer is that it makes me a more effective Realtor! It provides me a path to educate homeowners and it contributes to my success in getting my clients' homes sold. It allows me to offer more features and benefits to homeowners like you! The networks I build through blogging exposes me to successful real estate professionals from around the country, gaining priceless insight into the services and techniques employed to bring the highest benefit to homeowners in my market.

The next time you're searching for a Realtor in Louisville KY, do a search online to discover if a particular Realtor maintains a blog. You'll gain valuable insight into the personality and work ethic of that Realtor and may even save an hour of your evening for time with friends and family. Please take the time to explore more of my personal blog and I welcome your requests on any topics you'd like to see addressed. The Louisville Drop is updated several times each week, so check back often for new content!

If there is a move in your future, contact me today via e-mail, or by calling (502) 641-9802, to schedule a 45 minute consulation on your home's value, your surrounding market, and a strong, effective marketing strategy to get your home sold!

Cherimie ~ Had someone asked me a month ago, I would have come up with some reason why I didn't 'make the time' to keep a blog. I'm so happy to be one of those who do now!

Barbara ~ Every day for a year is one amazing commitment! I can only imagine that sense of accomplishment!
