I am an eleven-year real estate veteran and a Broker Associate with Prudential California Realty in San Diego. Together with my husband Steve, also a Broker, I assist both buyers and sellers in all areas of San Diego County. I am also (gasp) a real estate blogger.
In addition to our website, San Diego Castles (SanDiegoCastles.com), we host our San Diego Home Blog (SanDiegoHomeBlog.com).
So, it's official. We are all a little bit crazy. I suppose it's a comfort to know that I am not alone! Elizabeth - Your comment made me crack up. "Glad you found a new place to hang out." You sort of make it sound like I finally got picked up at the Stray Agent Adoption Center. :)
True, it is helpful to bank posts for the busier times, but I haven't found this to be terribly practical. First is the issue of the potential for the post to be dated once it comes off the shelf. Second, you need to remember when your articles are scheduled to publish. You can't really take that "little vacation," because you are (hopefully) going to generate comments which shouldn't be left unattended. Anyway you slice it, effective blogging is a second full-time job.
Lori - "Top Producer" point well taken. You are speaking of the "about" page, of course, which is an outdated, unfortunate side effect of a very long to-do list and limited time. A relevant web presence is like painting the Golden Gate Bridge - You are never finished. When you think you are, it is time to turn around and head back the other direction. Agents are not very technologically proficient you say, and I generally agree. But, that doesn't mean it must remain so. Some of us are at least trying to be different and make a distinction. We are putting a boat-load of effort into learning what we didn't know and being more proficient. If my "looks like all the others" blog misses the mark for you, I am disappointed and will vow to do better. But, at least I am trying when it would be much easier to say "I don't understand that stuff, so I am not going to do it."
