What Am I Doing Here?

By
Real Estate Agent with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Select

Yesterday, I went to a company meeting and during a panel discussion on how to get the most from the internet for your Real Estate business, it was discussed that you have to have a BLOG.  So here I am.  Now what do I do?  Being an older agent and a granny, I make a real effort to keep up with technology so the "young 'uns" don't get ahead of me.  So my goal will be to find interesting and pertinent articles to share with you and your family, to answer your Real Estate questions if I can (even though I'm old doesn't mean I know everything there is to know about Real Estate - I learn something new everyday).  So maybe this is what we can do together...learn something new everyday.  So let me hear from you about something you'd like to know.  I'll try to find an answer or direct you to someone who does know the answer!
