Hey all, I had originally been thinking about making a “Topic Tuesday” post where every so often I’ll post ideas for you to blog about, but as you can see, I missed Tuesday.
So for now, if you’re drawing a blank here are some topic ideas to blog about.
- The new housing bill that may be passed by Congress. You can briefly write what it’s about and how it affects a homeowner.
- The state of real estate. You can write where real estate in your particular area stands. Sales up/down? Good/bad?
- A Community Event. Is there anything coming up in the community you work in? If so what? Make an announcement about it.
- A Common question. Have you been asked by several buyers or sellers the same question, if so write about it.
Those are a couple of things to get your mind going. Good luck and remember, if you’re going to sell yourself do it in a very subtle manner.
Have a good one!

Many agents ask us how long their blog posts need to be and are usually surprised to hear that it can be as short as one sentence to as long as a 3 page report.
OK that was too general so for somebody just starting out, your blog post should be about 3 paragraphs long depending on your subject matter.
There are times when you can post only a sentence, such as a question or an invitation to an open house. Here is an example, “hey everyone I’m holding an open house at hello-ville, come by, free food blah blah…”
The main thing is that you post everyday OR every other day…something…anything…everything that comes to your mind regarding real estate.
Here are a couple of blogging tips:
1. Strive for 3 paragraphs (that’s about 5 sentences per each).
2. Pretend you’re writing an email to a friend or you’re speaking directly to a client face to face.
3. If your post is about a news article, explain how it relates or affects them personally.
Have good one.

Homebuyers today need translators to make sense of what is going on in the industry. For example INDY Mac went down what does that mean to a buyer/seller?
NOW is the best time to begin blogging. Not only will it pay off for you in the long term, which I’m sure many of you foresighted agents are eying, but you can also help some very weary homebuyers.
Reading the news, and stumbling, I noticed that there are many articles about home prices, the economy, foreclosures, and __(insert here)__. You know what’s missing (hint: first sentence of this article)? You know how buyers and sellers are feeling they are worried they can’t get a home or that they will not be able to sell their home; the list goes on.
If you’ve ever had the thought of blogging but have pushed it off now is the time to start. Especially since many agents are not posting. You have specialized knowledge in your brain that can help people with making a proper decision when it comes to their home needs…now go blog!
