We just got back from the NAR convention in Orlando and what a jam packed event it was…I’m still exhausted! Can you get jet lag just from flying from Orlando to NH??
Check out my blog for high lights and pictures of the convention and my FaceBook page for more wacky photos. Blogging was huge at the convention- just HUGE…if you don’t have a blog you might want to check out some of the very cool Blogs that Jay has built using wordpress.org he is turning into a major Blogmaster!
Jay and I will be attending the National Association of REALTORS annual convention in Orlando this week.
I’m pretty excited as I’ll be able to meet a lot of those REALTOR ” mavericks” …those early adapters of social networking and realty blogging. Many of them I know well but have never met face to face. You see they’ve been living in my computer for 2 years!
This years convention will have many web 2.0 type sessions available. We’ll be attending the Cyber Professionals networking sessions and many traditional real estate seminars as well. It should be a very busy convention and I expect to learn a lot while there.
As most of you know Jay and I author a few NH real estate related blogs. One of them is our main business blog which can be found at >>>NewHampshirerealestaetblogs.com and it is a great example of the type of blog Jay can build.
Another example and this one is very pretty, is our niche waterfront blog …check it out at NHwaterfronthomesforsale.com. A niche blog really increases an agents web presence and can be a lot of fun to do! We also have a Photo Blog which is a place that we simply post pictures that we take during our day to day travels>>>Through the New Hampshire View Finder.
Check them out and let us know what you think.
p.s …Jay can be hired.
Nine innovated REALTORS® attended our Blogging workshop and after nearly 4 hours they all left with a WordPress.com blog site up and running. The workshop was fun and I was thrilled to see the smiles on their faces when they looked at their very own Weblog for the first time. Hopefully soon we’ll have links posted here to all their individual blog sites. These are REALTORS® to watch as web 2.0 and new ideas and trends don’t scare them off.
