Do you write your own blogs? Or does your assistant?

Definitely written all of my posts. But I know of agents who hire virtual assistants to write posts so they'll always stay one step (or point) ahead so they'll stay in the top neighbor position. Unfortunately, then it becomes about points and not about quality!

I write all of my own posts.  Otherwise, what is the point?  Nobody would be able to get to know the real me...

I would never let someone put my name on anything they write.  Never would...never will.

Everything I write is my own -- I may have an editor look it over to correct grammar, etc., but they are my thoughts and opinions. ~Evelyn

I write all of my blogs - here on AR as well as on my other blog (my main focus).   When I post listings, it's my marketing assistant that does the listing information.  Everything else is me me me.

You can actually tell if an assistant posts something. There is an agent in my area whos assistant does the town market updates & you can tell just by the wording that it's not him.  I think that you should write your own posts & obviously supervise those, after all it is your name.

Karen, I have my team of assistants write all of my blogs for me...yeah, right. I write my own as I think you can tell. Plus I don't even have an assistant. Would be nice though...

Kar-kar,

My assistant is never with me at midnight when I think of the meat & potatoes for my blogs! (just kidding....I don't have an assistant)  But the only reasons I can think anyone would do this is laziness and greed. They want the exposure but don't make the time. It's deceptive to the readers though. Because you don't know who you're communicating to.  You just keep on doing it the way you do. We enjoy reading what's in your heart!

I often wonder how some people have time to write as often as they do. It makes sense that some must commission someone to write for them. Too bad there is not a way to only have agents who only write for themselves and post to give out information and share as opposed to just typing things so they get picked up by search engines. Just my thoughts.

I write my own. There was a time I thought I will do what my competitors are doing and hire someone to blog for me but I just couldn't do that. It's like a lie to the reader.

Karen, early on I briefly considered subscribing to some kind of professional service to supply blogging material on a regular basis.  I soon decided that if I wanted a personal relationship with my readers, it could only be me that wrote the posts.

I write my own but I also try to book guest bloggers if I can ;)

You know, I often wondered, and then slapped myself thinking how silly I was being ... but there are a few people I read once in a while, and I always wonder... first at the number of posts a person can write in a given day (every day, every week, every month); then I wonder why sometimes the post and the comments all read so differently ... like two different people 'talking'... hmmmmm....

I write my own ... unfortunately I'm not a writer and I struggle with everyone, but it's all mine.

Do people really have their assistants write their posts??  There should be a rule about this.  It shouldn't be.

Yes I proof read my posts.  I write them,  I take pride in my work...my work.
