Why Real Estate Blogging Makes You A Better Realtor, Part 2 of 3

By
Real Estate Technology with Real Estate Tomato

Super-Realtor-LogoAs I mentioned in Part 1 of this series, there are many unintended, yet beneficial consequences of real estate blogging. 

The one that continues to reveal itself to our clients is how their blogging efforts continue to improve their skills as a Realtor.

It is said that good salespeople use their words, while great salespeople use their ears.  While blogging is wordsmithing, great business bloggers use their ears.

We train our clients to learn to wear a "bloggers hat" - to recognize that nearly every daily interaction with their clients and the community offers an opportunity for a blog article.

How many questions are you typically asked to field during a real estate transaction?  From 'A to Close'… is it 20, 40, 80?  How many times have you had to answer these same questions?

Wearing your blogging hat has you hearing your client's questions more clearly as an opportunity to answer them in a comprehensive blog post.

 This effect allows you to hone your skills as a Realtor in two profound ways.

Jim, Right on. We've got a list of things to blog about, but day after day something else comes up that seems more interesting, or helpful. Am always thinking how nice it would be if all of the posts in my head could get done...

like your teaser for the 2 profound ways... and will follow it.

thanks

Couldn't agree more.  It shows that you, as a Realtor, are informed.  It provides another avenue for you to indirectly, yet directly (what a paradox, huh?) communicate with your current and prospective clientele.

Good point. Plus, the knowledge I've gained from reading the posts of other bloggers, has helped me gain more respect from my clients and my colleagues. There's a wealth of information at our fingertips that gives us a competitive edge.

Great advice!  When I began it was nearly impossible to think about what to write about.  Now I'm finding myself doing just what you're saying...and I'm finding ideas everywhere...so many ideas that I have to write them down or I'll forget them.
