Question of the Month

Q: Dear HomeGain,
I just signed up on AgentView and want to start using the blog but am not sure where to begin. What do you suggest?

- Kathy Hayes, Hermosa Beach, CA

A: A blog is a very powerful tool to enhance your online presence. Positioning yourself as the local expert gives consumers a positive first impression and lets them know that you pay attention to detail. Your blog provides a non-invasive way for consumers to learn more about you and is a perfect starting point for building a relationship with potential clients.

Have fun with your blog! Let your reader know about real estate trends, local eateries, fun activities and your favorite places. Giving your post the personal touch is what will make consumers connect with you and want to do business with you.

As an AgentView member you get weekly training from the HomeGain Blog Professor. These are valuable lessons that give tips on everything from blog topics, converting blog leads, keeping your blog fresh and overcoming writers block. To access the lesson archive, simply click on “Blog School” in the Resource Center while logged into your HomeGain account.
