This is about you and our network to help you get going, get hyper local, and participate in the best marketing tool available.

10 Reasons Real Estate Agents Should Blog In The Neighborhoods Undressed.com Network.

One of our competitors has taken aim at us. Not that that matters much, the world of real estate blogging will belong to no one individual, not even a hot shot. It is just plainly too big out there.
However, for the record, I note this important information about the Undressed Network. Kathleen and I are the visible people, mostly my name is out there. We have two hot shot kids, a college graduate and soon to be computer science University of Washington graduate that guide us technically. We have a wordpress and technology guru that helps us daily.
We bring the best of both worlds to our agent clients. Real estate experience and technical blogging expertise. LJ, a son in law claims you have to play in your own sand box. I guess that is technology talk. LJ says you have to live it, do it, try it out. We play in our own sandbox with the techie kids backing us up.
Kathleen and I recently attended Inman Connect in New York City. This was my 5th. We came back with new things to implement, one went live today. However, it was funny how the so called experts on one blogging panel (none agents) had all this advice that was just plain bad. It reminded me how last summer at Inman Connect one of our competitors so over exaggerated how many site visits to expect she was nearly laughed off the stage.
Join us and you join a blog network by agents for agents with techie backup help. And if a sales person tries to scare you about this stuff, don’t listen. It’s more than SEO, and you the agent that knows your community is way ahead of the SEO expert.

One interesting things about a blog, is that what one writes it is forever to be found on the internet.
As we began to write our Issaquah Undressed blog, I made a claim.
Read about it in the L A TImes.
BACK in 2006, which in the real estate blogo- sphere is pretty much akin to the dawn of creation, Real Estate Undressed blogger Larry Cragun had this to say to the American home-buying public:”There is a new wave growing. Agents that blog. We believe you will eventually only use an agent that blogs. Why? Because . . . if they blog about a community they must know it. . . . You also learn more about them as they blog.”
Cragun’s advice must have been heeded, since it seems that every agent and their brother now has a blog. And if anecdotal evidence is to be believed — nobody actually tracks this — agents who are still selling today are agents who blog.
