Beth Butler, former Broker for EWM Realtors in Miami, FL wants to get into the head of real estate brokers around the country. She wants to share her expertise in managing an incredibly successful real estate company blogsite with those that need to see the light. The playing field has changed, and many need a coach. Beth is that Coach. Real Estate Brokerage Websites - I Don’t Think We Are In Kansas Anymore By Beth Butler Just like in the Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy tiptoes out of her house to find she is in an altogether different place than she left, so it is with the real estate brokerage business post market meltdown. As brokers gently lift their collective heads from dealing with the drudgery of the down market, the view out the window is not the same as it was. The business is forever changed.

For the entire month of December I will be writing articles as contributions to what I call the Rewrite Project. Instead of writing on new topics, I am going to be digging through the advice archives and rewriting the "oldies but goodies". Why? Why not? But it is also an exercise to show you that you can never step in the same river twice, and finding relevant blog content to publish is as easy as looking in the rear-view mirror. The next article in my series of rewrites is the dismantling and recreation of “New To Business Blogs? The 6 Steps To Getting Started”. The irony of that article is that I had been blogging for less than 3 months, and here I was the expert. For some time now, I have been wanting to add emphasis to the points in this post, so here goes. The logic of this...

But it is also an exercise to show you that you can never step in the same river twice, and finding relevant blog content to publish is as easy as looking in the rear-view mirror. One of the first advice articles I wrote on the power of blogging was called “If You Write It They Will Come!" - The Long Tail In Real Estate. Starting with the title… it’s not bad, but it could have been better. For the rewrite I’m going with: Exactly How The Long Tail In Real Estate Blogging Will Bring The Ready-To-Act Home Buyer. Now that we have all made purchases...

Some said we were crazy, but no one said it was a bad idea. On November 17th from 9AM until 4PM PST we will be holding the first of its kind, Virtual Real Estate BarCamp. What is it? VirtualREBarCamp is a One Day, All-Day, Online Real Estate BarCamp. The REBarCamp phenomenon has exploded over the last year with dozens of in-real-life gatherings where the real estate community comes together to discuss and demystify the current trends in technology and marketing. The goal of VirtualREBarCamp is to bring this experience to you as opposed to having to bring yourself to it. – In place of a rented venue, we'll be holding the event online. – In place of break-out sessions in rooms, we'll we have simultaneous webinars, all day. – In place of the hallways, we will be chatting on Twitter, Facebook, Backnoise and TomatoChat. – In place of traveling you'll...
