#1 on Google means nothing if you are not a Great Realtor!

Real Estate Agent with Realogics Sotheby's International Realty-Sequim

This spoof video is in response to the disconnect I see between being #1 on Google and number one with your past clients. We all get so caught up in SEO and technology and "lead capture" that we can sometimes forget that this is not a house business. It's a people business. In my opinion "google juice" is the kool-aid we've all been drinking too much of. Your best source of advertising is the word of mouth power that your clients and their friends have to either make you rich or sink you. Never forget that. I hope you enjoy my nutty little video about this. Thoughts and comments welcome! For those who are curious, I made this up out of my head with no script, shot it on my mac web-cam and edited it in i-movie in about 30 minutes. You don't need fabulous high end video equipment to make an impact. You just need to be genuine and informative and if possible, fun! Enjoy!!

I am thrilled to be able to call the Olympic peninsula home again after over 30 years of living in California.  I have spent hours wandering the area with my camera, trying to capture the beauty here. This video is a compilation of photos that give me a sense of peace. I hope you enjoy! I am thrilled to now be able to do what I love (selling homes!) in the best place on earth.

Sue, I agree, being a great Realor also means returing calls and e-mails, basically being accessible to the client or prospect. Thanks for the posting.

Sue, I am beginning to believe you are absolutely correct.  When the bubble burst; no one in the industry knew what to do because nothing was working so they turned our attention to the net!  It appears now to have been nothing but a diversion on the obvious; Real Estate business is not good.

Hi John,

Thanks for watching and commenting!  The market is what you make of it. I actually started in 2006 exactly as the market started to go down.

There's no magic bullet. Just work hard, be ethical, be genuine and provide value. It does not matter if your message is delived via Facebook,

twitter, the post office or smoke signals. The best assurance of surving these times is to do all you can to provide amazing service. That's it.

No magic. Just work!

Sue
