Like any business, model marketing is the make or break it in Real Estate. Marketing in most part is via word of mouth but can be leveraged very well through the Internet. I have always said there is no money in being a Secret Agent (at least not in Real Estate). Even though "high tech" is still the fun place to be one should never forget you need equal amounts of 'High Touch' which means person to person or face to face for the long term success of any business which includes Real Estate. Cheers! Hey, thanks for the comments. Like any business, model marketing is the make or break it in Real Estate.

You really focus on transparency and genuineness. REALTORS are too often cast in a negative light due to the bad reputations and images of some in the 0.5% you mentionned. You're right about blogging creatively as a good way to escape that bad hype and show a real side to Realtors (ok, not intentional, but it works). When it comes to speaking openly about market conditions, I couldn't agree more. I am open about the pros and cons of buying and selling in the current market conditions, because there are always both sides to it. Now is a good time to buy because of lots of inventory, low prices, people willing to give huge discounts, and low interest rates. It's a bad time to buy because of market uncertainty. Anyone must decide if it is worth the risk given their situation and move on. Thanks for motivating me to improve my own blogging efforts, which up until now have been largely in microblogging. -Jerry http://www.Twitter.com.ZoomJer This is a great post-very reasonable and well thought-out.
