Like many real estate professionals who are using the internet to market themselves, Marc seems to be overlooking the fact that the best clients come from your friends… your real friends.
Most agents know this implicitly, but don’t necessarily make the connection to how they need to operate online.
For example…
A good friend of mine, who conveniently [...]

What a fun week on the 4realz Hotlist…  I wasn’t exactly sure what type of microposts people would throw up, but was pleasantly surprised at the results.
There’s a lot of stuff going up on the Hotlist, so if you’re low on time, here are the highlights from the past week:

Huge News of the week: “Treasury [...]

A few days ago, I decided to experiment by using a room on friendfeed in much the same way that I used to use del.icio.us… Which is to say that I’ve began bookmarking (or in this case “sharing with a room”) articles that I find interesting.
In many ways, I’ve been treating the porch on [...]

…listings to Trulia, but they just announced that they are giving all their listings to FrontDoor.
I can’t help but look at these announcements from the perspective of the Move team… And the fact that two large brokerages companies (Prudential and Realogy), representing a substantial portion of US listings, appear to have made the mental leap [...]

There’s a hell of a lot of VC money floating around this industry. I was surprised at how many people there were with lots of VC funding. Joel seemed to notice the same thing: “a whole new crop of real [...]
