Here's a tip for all my customers. Boycot blogs.
That doesn't mean don't check MY site, my site is a...NEWS SITE.
You can check the widget and the RSS feeds here and on my Twitter and Facebook pages. There you are getting accurately sourced National and Regional Real Estate Trends, straight from the horse's mouth, and not mine. Not restated, not watered down, not slanted in any way! The horse, by the way, would be N&O, Triangle Business Journal, RISMEDIA real estate news, our Realtor Associations, respected news distribution channels! In an RSS feed, I have permission to distribute this news to you exactly as it came to me. You can read the source citing in each post.
So, why do I say Boycot Blogs?
Because...what is a true blog anyway? A blog is a site where a so-called professional has either restated the news or given his/her opinion on it or is reciting some anecdote from their regional selling and using it to extrapolate a trend. Did they fool ya?
Ok, so what I am saying here is that a BLOG is entirely editorial in nature. It's subjective, watered down, one person's opinion. And opinions are like.... well, you know... EVERYBODY has one.
So, tell me, you have 5 minutes every day to catch up on real estate trends. Is someone's opinion really what you want? Or is it factual news that you want? What do you think of asking your local grocer every day for his opinion on grocery buying trends? He only has a handle on a microcosm of that world. When you repeat the opinion stated in a blog, what are you going to tell your neighbor was its source? Oh, Joe Blo from ABC Realty down the corner SAYS SO? Good luck with that!
Get it? If you only have 5 minutes a day, get the NEWS, don't read a BLOG.
Have a great day, my like-minded cynical and blog-weary friends!
