I do however feel that web 2.0 and other social marketing is very important regarding the real estate business, those who fail to recognise this will be left behind in the "Where are they now bin", if your real estate company or service fails to have any real online presence, you may need to be more honest with yourself.

Combine that with knowledge you've garnered from experience, and your authority and honesty will win you business. Blogs are a great forum to express that.

I was hired by a Pru Broker about 2 years ago to begin researching and instructing the 300 Agents in his 15 offices on web 2.0 concepts, like Blogging. Since that time I have enjoyed my entrance into the web 2.0 world, Social networking (where I 1st met you, and many other fine people), and mostly Blogging! I have found it to be an amazing opportunity to bring knowledge to the masses. I am however, doing this under my own "brand" (TheRECoach) if you will, because it is not a safe place for a brand to be. It is unregulated and there are so many "potholes" still lerking that a Brand would be subjected to too much, driving this road (Note your example of RedFin’s latest woes, which have now erupted into a full blown debate in the Blogsphere (healthy though). Though I can attest to the undeniable success a Blog, website, and web 2.0 education can have for an Agent, I am not recommending my Broker engage in a brand identified Blog yet. Still a "Slippery Slope" out there. Keep up the fine work, I really enjoy your posts!
