I read an interesting blog this morning on Active Rain about giving out free information, FSBO's and the discussion on what a real estate agents time is worth.
I hate to break the news and let the secret out, but here it is. YOU CAN FIND OUT INFORMATION ON WHAT TO DO TO SELL YOUR HOME, HOW TO PREPARE YOUR HOME, HOW TO NEGOTIATE YOUR HOME SALE ALL OVER THE INTERNET. There are hundreds (if not thousand of sites that give this information away. So if you think by not blogging about how to sell your home, tips on preparing your home, or other "vital information on how to sell your home" that people won't find out is crazy. Great articles are within a key stroke of anybody on a computer.
You as a realtor (blogger) are doing yourself a disservice by not blogging about it. Become that "expert" that go to information resource for all buyers and sellers. Do it yourself For sale by owners are not going away. They are here to stay. The internet has made home selling easier for everybody. To think that by not blogging about good information in your area is going to stop FSBOs from coming on the market you are crazy.
The bottom line is that the more good information you have on your website OR your blog will establish you as a go to person in real estate. What you are trying to do is get a bigger piece of the real estate market in your area. Yes all of our time is valuable. Time is one thing in life that you can't get back. So put your time to good use and blog about important things in real estate and your area. Become the local specialist, be a giver.
You won't regret it. Leads will come, your face, your reputation, your articles about buying and selling will be all over the internet.
Don't bury your head in the sand. Be "THE REALTOR WITH THE GREAT SITE OR THE GREAT BLOG"
