The End Of One Era, The Beginning Of A New One!

Today I write my last blog post as a real estate agent... well, sort of.

Can it ever get out of your blood?  

I've covered a lot of ground since my first post here at Activerain, back in April 2007.  The family of real estate bloggers was much smaller then.  It was Activerain that first fueled my passion for new media marketing and reaching people through my words.  I can say today that it was indeed worth the work to get here.  

This blog post will be my 901st... exactly 900 posts, the record in Lancaster County by far & away.  

This week I transition into a new phase of my real estate career.  I'll be the, let's see, which trendy title should I use?   CMO (chief marketing officer)?  Marketing evangelist?  I know that anything-evangelist is the hiphip trendy thing right now... My hired title is VP Marketing & Communications, which is very corporaty but says enough for now.  Coldwell Banker Select Professionals is the company, Central PA's fastest-growing real estate franchise and easily it's most innovative.  I'm excited to not only help guide our 10 offices forward but also be a resource to our 270 agents on the ground!

Good times.
