Ha ! Garbage In - Garbage Out.
I will take your numbers any day, Petra.
(although the Ledger did publish my letter to the Editor the other day concerning the High Speed Rail issue)
Keep up the good work.
Hi Ted - LOL, thanks. I did offer to the writer that I would provide him with facts for their report.
I did read the "letter", although was not sure if it was you since there was another name by. I do love to read the letters to the editor, including your's :)
Petra what's worse, is now the media has figured out that NAR has been monkeying with the mo. sales numbers. Overstated by 10-25% per mo. since 2006. Now, the Fed,Fannie,Freddie,MBA and CoreLogic are stating that inventory numbers were reported low.
Just one more thing we have to overcome.
Petra, very cool with bullseye targeting of Polk County which is DIFFERENT than the neighboring counties. You are definitely the expert there.
Petra,
Know that the media reads press releases. I used to work for a regional franchise support office who would send out press releases. Once they got some "traction" on it, then it was a matter of finding an agent "usually a favorite" that the regional office would then facilitate with the media to do some live coverage.
It's all very contrived, unless you, as the agent have and know where to get the facts.
Great job on presenting accurate reports. Wait for the media? No, just get it on your blog first. Want to spend money in print advertising? Put a small ad in the realestate section of your newspaper with link information to your blog. Use a tracking code and I'm sure you'll get some responses.
Bill Williams - no joke at all; to me it's about paying forward :)
Mike - I'm more focused on my local market as real estate is and always be local :)
Gary - thank you - Polk County is also the largest county of Florida :)
Scott - Will do :)
Erica - Market reports are my passion and when it comes to the media I always try to convey to most accurate statistics. :)
Hi Petra. I like the angle that you've addressed. It gives me some ideas.
Hi Petra -- Sound logic and being proactive is always a good thing. It's so important to report accurate data.
Congratulations, Petra. It sounds like you're making waves with your market reports. I've had good results with my market reports, but I've never posted them anywhere but my blogs.
Anytime you are the expert, you are listened to and followed. I may start writing market reports in my weekly blog feature in the Milton TIMES
Lana - I'm glad I enlightened you :)
Chris - I always strive to provide accurate information, I feel it is my duty :)
Margaret - thanks, for me it gives me additional exposure :)
Jeanne - I think we still have a way to go, but being proactive is a great start :)
Tamara - Absolutely :)
SCA Real Estate - that gives me all the more reason to provide accurate data :)
Elliot - Give it a try and share your expertise in your local market :)
