The Media Contacted Us!

Real Estate Agent with The Top Team @ Charles Rutenberg Realty 255 Executive Dr, Plainview NY 11803

Has this even happened to you?  A local Long Island newspaper contacted us for an article they were writing on the housing market on Long Island.

 

She introduced herself and said that she was a writer for the Long Island Press.  She was writing a story on the reputation that Long Island may have on the outside world and what someone who was relocating here would think about and would want to know about living here.  Her deadline was short and if we could respond immediately.

 

Hey, why not...maybe some more google juice!

 

We called her back and the "interview" took place over the phone.  It lasted about 20 minutes and Larry answered all her questions with some humor. 

 

 

Can't wait to see the article...anyone else have a similiar story?

It is pretty common for us to get these kinds of calls, but it has taken a long time to get here.  Part of the marketing of our business includes media relations such as press releases at least once a month, having our main press contacts on our general mailing list and inviting media to all of our events such as company parties and even open houses.  You never know what they will find interesting or what story they need industry background information on.

Good luck.

Many times.  Many times.

Their deadline is ALWAYS short.

Far too often they want to use one of our clients in their articles.  I don't cooperate with that.

I do give them states, market info, etc.  I rarely get notice of the article or follow up from them.

I think it's a good thing. I was quoted in the Washington Post last year.

Larry and Sheila, looks like a good way to get a little publicity. I've submitted Press Releases in the past and you never know when one is published. We did have one turn into a featured article once. Good job!

Rich...Sounds like you have it already going with your press releases, but this is a 1st for us as local Realtors on Long Island

Lenn...She did promise to let us know when it goes to print so will have to wait and see!

I had an article written in the Wisconsin state journal and that reporter sent me copies of the article. I rather liked the whole thing. I do get calls from some that have a way of twisting the conversation a bit.
