I am sooooo tired of harping on this, but, I don't know what else to do. Real estate agents and brokers continually link to websites like Trulia and the rest increasing their rankings at the expense of our own. In the last week, they have found themselves on the first page for more terms in the Atlanta area and it is out of ignorance that this is happening.

THEY DO NOT PROVIDE CONSUMERS WITH ACCURATE INFORMATION! - at least not completely as it appears they do. Nor do they provide consumers with accurate listings and still agents put their little widgets on their websites thinking that they are helping consumers.

Are you an agent with a Trulia widget? What's wrong with you?

Why on earth would you, a professional do that to yourself and to consumers? The…

This contest has taken on a mind of its own now and entries are pouring in and the competition is extremely stiff. No telling who has the best chance to win at this point, but, I still think that it will be fun and a learning experience. To that learning experience - In my first REW blog post about this, I talked about the importance of utilizing the categories within the blog.

Today, I think I will talk about some of the more mundane aspects, but, probably the most important. For me, the best way to get links for so meting is that of truly unsolicited because the person linking to you is doing so simply because they want to. This is where you should ask yourself. So when you write, do you write things that that people want to read> Is it funny, helpful…

The city of Milton is located in the northwest section of Fulton County and has historically been "horse country" with numerous equestrian farms, stables, rolling hills and beautiful pasture. Since its incorporation, Milton has been on the fast track (really, there was a great deal of activity in the years leading up to incorporation, but, more has happened since). Close in real estate gets more and more expensive and what you to be be far out is now 'close in'. Milton falls into the category of not being thought of as far out anymore.

Milton is certainly one of the more popular areas in Atlanta right now and there are lots of reasons for this; great schools, beautiful and affordable homes and land! Lots of land! Milton real estate has been increasing in…

And I'm In!

Here is my entry in the greatest real estate agent in the world contest.

I'm excited about the opportunity to learn and share what works and what doesn't as the contest unfolds and I hope that everyone involved is willing to share as well. I think this is a great opportunity for all of us to learn how best to use the internet to market for our clients as well as ourselves.

So with that in mind, as the contest moves forward, I will post some of the techniques that I am using to try and help me rank my entry as high as possible. So here is the first tip:

I have entered this entry into my strongest category on the blog because I want it to have the most punch pointing a link back to my entry. What's the lesson here? Well, it's simple...We need…

The next few posts will be about the area within Atlanta that I live, Alpharetta. For quite some time, Alpharetta has been used as a general area which now consists of two additional cities; John's Creek and Milton. So, from now on I will separate statistics as best as is possible into the correct areas because agents are beginning to list homes in the correct cities making the statistics more and more accurate. Alpharetta (not John's Creek and Milton), can still be broken in to 2 different areas and three different zip codes; East Alpharetta (30022 and 30005) and West Alpharetta (30004) and is separated basically by Georgia 400 which runs north and south from Atlanta up through Cumming and beyond. Personally, I think it would be more accurate to talk…

The slower sales of real estate has increased inventory of homes across Metro Atlanta and Alpharetta is no exception. Interestingly, many buyers seem to be catching on to the idea that there are more homes to choose from and we have seen much more interest in the last few weeks on the part of buyers. A couple of interesting notes of interest as I have been out with buyers;

Currently I have three buyers looking at homes for sale in Alpharetta and have looked at quite a few homes in the last two weeks. Most of these homes have major problems impeding a sale.…

The city of Roswell consistently ranks as one of the top places to live in the nation and one of the fantastic benefits to residents is Roswell's commitment to its parks and recreation.
