I have been reluctant to blog my listings but did my first one a few weeks back. I could forsee using mailers for neighborhoods that simply advertise your site which links to their neighborhood and the latest solds for the goal of becoming of becoming the neighborhood specialist.

I just realized that my listing blogs were crowding out my more personal posts! I’ll probably add a Listing category to my right sidebar and perhaps create subcategories for neighborhoods.

I have followed the advice and created a blog for my new listing. I have TypePad pro so I was able to create it in about a minute. The hardest part was finding the button to create a new blog. Now I am going to go upload pictures, etc. It is not in my farm area… North Tacoma… so I wonder how it will be viewed by those in my farm area. But oh well. Nothing ventured. Nothing gained. Thank you for the eye opener!

Our video podcast feeds contain more than videos of listings, we also include the pertinent listing data as well. Once completed, we give our clients a line of code that they can include in a blog or web site that displays a real time feed of the listings. So, in addition to the wide RSS distribution we do on behalf of our clients, we also provide a simple way to “blog listings”. If you look at my blog you’ll see an example of how the feed works http://www.mlpodcast.com/blog, we rotate our clients through that spot on my blog to show how they can start blogging their listings with little effort at all. There’s no reason why someone couldn’t set up a seperate blog and then place the code in the blog, it would stay updated automatically, (as long as your a satisfied client of MLPodcast that is)

wonderful “how to” and “how to not” blog real estate listing tips! glad to see how many real estate agents out there are experimenting with placing their clients listings on listing specific blogs.

In preparation for a listing presentation for a high end property, I put together a mock-up of a blog, complete with pictures of the property, quotes (fictitious) from the owner, descriptions of past and future marketing events (obviously made up as well), and a few other things. The prospective client was very excited about the idea, especially since a very likely buyer in this area (Silicon Valley) would be a wealthy high-tech web-savvy blog-reading entrepreneur.

I made an addition to the “One blog for all your listings” section. By using the permalink of the listing post, one can set up a domain to point to it directly, and hence market it seperately. Sellers that comprehend the value of blogging the listing in the first place should have no issue with that.
Kevin,
That is an excellent idea: Say for example: http://www.EagleRanchExpert.com (or something). You can offer the newly listed and the recent solds as well, with commentaries and open comments… nice strategy. The possibilites seem endless.

Talk about buyer feedback. I’m not sure quite yet what the profile of a candidate neighborhood is, but I think this idea has some legs. I’d rather do that than farm the neighborhood.

Not all listings, some get a web site of there own. What I like about it is that I can include links to information about the area on the side bar and information about the property in the post. I would not consider grouping all of my listings on one blog. My sellers might not like having their homes marketed with others.
