Real Estate Tomato Hangs Out With The Boston Globe

By
Real Estate Technology with Real Estate Tomato

Boston_Globe_Tomato4:27AM, PST. The phone rings. 

"I just picked up the paper and you wouldn't believe what's hanging out of it," my mother excitedly states.  

"What?" I grunt. 

"I'm sorry to wake you, I thought I was going to get the machine."  "You won't believe where the Globe put your logo in the paper, it's hanging right out of the front page!"

In what we hope not to be the peak of our mainstream media exposure, this Sunday, The Boston Globe offered a headlining piece on Real Estate Blogging.  Paul F. Roberts penned a timely article entitled “Brokers In Blogsville.”  You can read the piece in full on Boston.com.

The Real Estate Tomato was not only mentioned (and quoted) along with 8 other pillars in the real estate blogosphere, but we also got some pretty nifty brand exposure!

Teresa - that was funny.  You do have a nice blog.

Tomato - glad you intimated that your mom was calling.  I was worried you still lived with her.  Congratulations.  Your blog is a great resource to me.

Chris,

Down here in my Mom's basement, I don't like to be disturbed... that's why she called.  Plus the laundry has piled up so high she can't get the cellar door open.  :) 

Carole,

She has like dozen copies saved!

RET, well done. The gang from NE finally made the Globe. We always thought we would make it for baseball, basketball, music, etc...here you are in 07' hanging out with the globe talking about what we now know best. How to help agents maximize their oppurtunity online. Jim, you should be proud and realize that you are helping many tackle the blogging world. We will help many and thanks for the oppourtunity.
