I was asked recently to write an article for the “Ask the Expert” column for The HooK. The first time, I wrote a decent, un-opinonated column. One could call it “pedantic.” It wasn’t me. It…
Browsing Category Shameless Self Promotion
2006 Readers’ Choice Awards
This year the Daily Progress is asking for their readers to vote for their “Best of”. Last year I was pleased to be selected the “Favorite Realtor.” Should you have the time and inclination, I would appreciate your taking the time to vote. As I said last year, Self-promotion is one of the most difficult aspects of my profession; I don’t do it well and I don’t like it very much – but it is one of the most important parts of my job. I gained one lead, and ultimately earned their business, directly from this promotion…. Note: If you have ad-blocking on your browser, you normally wouldn’t see this promotion…. When I went to their site and turned off my ad-blocking, I realized how intrusive their ads are. There has to be a better way, but that is another post for another day.

Podcasts for Real Estate
The Charlottesville Podcasting Network has a nice post this morning about the two podcasts we have recently done. I hope to do the third one early next week in studio, where the audio quality should be much better…. Maintaining a competitive edge and implementing emerging technologies effectively is a challenge. I have a feeling that there will be followers.I said it on my site, but want to say it here:These podcasts would not be possible without Wordcast Productions and Flying Dog Media. Most “good things” require teamwork and strategic associations. This is one of those “good things.” My thanks and gratitude to them…. I trust this to be the case.Everyone has to start somewhere.
