Profiles and an interesting observation

By
Real Estate Agent with Counts Real Estate Group, Inc. BK3128229

I've been a member on AR almost from the beginning.

Having been here so long, I've changed offices a few times.  While I thought my profile information had been updated, it appears it had not.

A new friend: Bill Gillhespy from Fort Meyrs Florida pointed out that I still had the remenants of one of my past office associations in my profile.

Thanks Bill for the heads up, it has been updated.

However, this brings up an interesting point and observation:  I've had many visitors to my profile since changing offices and either no one has noticed, or has said anything.

So the question is: Do the majority of people read the profiles on AR or do they "skim" over them?

Thoughts?

I read the profiles because I am interested in gleaning what I can about different people.

I read 'em when I'm looking for a referral partner and I also read through the blog posts to make sure the person has some experience, knowledge and decent sense of humor with the integrity to keep the referrer posted.

I read 'em when I see interesting blog posts and I want to get a sense of who the person is (or, at least, on how they represent themselves to the world).

I also look at the sidebar.  Some are so cluttered up with googobs of widgets and ads that are all mis-sized and mostly irrelavent. Some are useful (like your Google map of Panama City) and the sidebars are neat (I like symetry).

So, I guess, for me the profile is more a part of the whole picture.  Important, though, especially your current Broker/Office inofrmation.

Thanks Steven and Ken for your observations.

Ken - Why is the current broker information important to you?  Does it matter which office an agent is affiliated?

You better believe that I would be reading them when I am ready to send a referral. I am sure most of our profiles are written with the client in mind!

I just like to look at the pretty pictures.  Men are visual, most of us only pretend to read.  That is why they have to put pictures on the drive through menus at fast food restaurants.  Dont tell the rest of the guys that i let the secret out.
