• We want you! Lend your voice to a growing number of agents and brokers who are shaping the real estate industry today.

Attention real estate agents and brokers: We see you out in the trenches every day hustling, bringing your clients the best service possible and making dreams come true. That’s why we want you.

Here at Inman, we strive to bring you the latest news, insights, tips and tricks that will improve your career, and our contributors are a driving force in that mission.

But it’s not just about us.

The benefits of becoming an Inman contributor

Becoming an Inman contributor means you are part of a team of real estate professionals who cover various topics including marketing, brokerage, agent advice, industry news, international markets and more.

Our contributors submit articles, infographics, videos, podcasts, listings, etc., which are published on our website daily. We’re always open to new ideas.

 

There are many benefits of becoming a contributor:

  • Exposure: You will have a network of contributors to collaborate with via our contributors group on Facebook. And you will have an audience composed of our national readers. Our audience is hands-on, so you will likely interact with them through the comments on your stories as well as on social media.
  • Access: Not only will you have access to our large network of contributors, but you will also have access to many of Inman’s contacts and direct access to a responsive editorial team that will work closely with you throughout the publishing process to make sure we put out a product all of us are proud of.
  • Editing: Although we ask for first-use privilege per our contributors guidelines, we are happy to return your work to you — professionally edited and ready to publish on your website or blog — free of charge, and all you have to do is ask.
  • Improved writing skills: Many of our editors have master’s degrees in journalism with emphasis in magazine editing. We will work with you step-by-step on accepted drafts until your article publishes on Inman.
  • Information: We have a contributor’s newsletter that will inform you of what’s going on at Inman, introduce you to other contributors, keep you in the know about the stories that are doing well on our site (top 5 weekly), teach you grammar lessons to help hone the craft of writing and let you know about industry events.
  • Inman logo: Once you are officially a contributor, you are welcome to request the Inman contributor logos. The logos can be used on marketing materials and your email signature — every email you send will reinforce your voice in the industry. All we ask is that you link the logo back to your author’s page on our website.
  • A professional challenge: Our contributors are exceptional agents and brokers who enjoy the challenge of sharing their knowledge and voice with other agents.

These are just a few of the benefits contributors enjoy. If you are interested in becoming a contributor, please read the contributors guidelines and FAQs.

Then, when you are ready, please send me — because I wrangle the contributors program — a fresh article or pitch to get the ball rolling. The article must be original, not published elsewhere and add to the conversation on Inman.

Pro tips:

  • Use a simple Google search to check out what’s already been published on your topic, both on Inman and elsewhere, so that you can add to the conversation.
  • Stick to around 600 words or less.
  • How-tos and lists are always popular and well-read.
  • Self-promotional articles will not be accepted.
