Blogs by Real Estate Professionals are a great way for you to introduce yourself to prospective clients. The key here is to remember who you are marketing to. The real estate transaction consisits of two party's, both with opposing needs. If I come to your site as a buyer, and see numerous blog posts about all your various listings, it doesn't really tell me a lot about your ability to represent my interests. On the other hand, if I'm reading about your knowledge of the local market you're now my resource for that location and any other community information I may need. A great way to start some real dialogue! People anticipating a real estate transaction are converging on the internet in great numbers, we are all aware of this.

As you stated it shows they know what they are talking about. Many deals can be made on blogs and forums and hence a lead is born. Yes some sites have a no comments and that can be frustrating but as this market grows people will realize that they need to answer comments as much as emails and phone calls.

As you know, it does take some work to deal with comments, comment back, etc. Most of our advanced bloggers are using Wordpress in association with their webpage. Wordpress is by far the best blogging platform on the planet. @ Matt – Ubertor blogs don’t have comments enabled as we found that most agents were not monitoring them.

The newspaper actually has one of their own. It seemed to me that there was very little research done on the article. I believe the importance of the piece was lost since it did not direct any of its readers to the local blogs and the active community they have created.
