Over the years here on AR, I've read where other agents were contacted by the media, thanks to their blogging efforts. Well, my time finally arrived!
A couple weeks ago, I was contacted by a local TV reporter. He had done an online search and found my blog ... my WP blog. He was planning to do a series of nightly reports on the housing market. Because I include my listings on my blog, he wanted to talk to me about the importance of photography.
We met last week at my newest listing which I really welcomed the opportunity to have extra exposure. It's a gorgeous home but at $699,900 it may be a tougher sell in this market. My seller agreed to be a part of the interview as well. (You may recognize him).
Although I've never had an issue with "talking" (as friends and family know) I was rather nervous about a TV interview because I was afraid of the sound bites. The reporter taped about a half hour of info, so I knew that most of it would end up being cut.
I recorded the newsclip with my camera aimed at the TV and hoped that The Murph wouldn't bark during the recording. Another agent was interviewed as well - and since we're dressed very similar - it's sometimes hard to tell who is who. She is in a home likely located in Clintonville, where she works. My home is in Galena, near Hoover Reservoir. Unfortunately, not much of the home was captured. Bummer!
I learned that I MUST stop "talking with my hands". ;-)

WooHoo ... thanks for the Gold Star!
I do want to thank ABC Ch 6 for doing a positive housing report. The industry needs more of that.
