Blogging can and should be one of the tools in your marketing toolbox. By creating a real estate blog about your area, happenings and commentary, you can begin to position yourself as an “expert” on the area and real estate trends there. Readers of your blog can then “subscribe”, as in a magazine subscription, and have your real estate blog comments and articles delivered to them daily in their “news reader”. For now, just know that you can create a blog and post articles and comments regularly that will be of interest to residents and potential buyers for the area.

It’s a commitment, as blog content needs to be updated frequently to keep readers’ interest, repeat visits and subscriptions. You can, if you have the proper blog service and setup, have guest authors that will help you keep your blog fresh with new material. Perhaps your favorite mortgage broker would like to write some articles for your blog with links to his/her site – or a title company, or home inspector, etc. Let your competition keep plugging away at “newsletters” and email delivery. You can get a jump on the “new world” of publishing with a blog and have your subscribers get your posts immediately without email or action on your part.

Dear fellow Real Estate Professionals,

An increasing number of home buyers are starting their home search on the Internet. Some of you may have already started blogging and place your property listings on real estate portals.

Yes sure, you are getting ‘some’ calls from your online effort. You are excited but unfortunately you are only getting a few inquires and leads, here and there. Furthermore, it’s not coming on a regular basis.

You certainly want more, more and more online leads. How?

Having a normal blog is the first step. But that is not enough in this competitive real estate marketplace. A normal blog is very good for many niche sites but it is just do not ‘cut it’ for real estate blogs.

Real estate visitors want more!

Visitors to a real estate blog want to search for properties and expect a concise listing of properties available based on their search criteria, not yours… A normal blog is just a collection of description about your properties for sale or rent.

Browsing through pages and pages to scan for properties that they are interested is tiring and frustrating. Make it difficult for them and off they go to other real estate sites.
