If you have been in the real estate business for a while, you have seen many changes in both the industry, and the methods we use to market ourselves. We are inundated every day with calls from salespersons pushing the latest and the greatest products and services, and we often have to make decisions based on cost versus expected return on investment.
But one of the most cost effective promotional devices available is still ignored by the majority in the business. Professional blogging is an easy way to get exposure both within the industry and to the consuming public.
My ActiveRain blog has given me a recognition factor that is unmatched in m my area, and it hasn't cost me a dime! And I have been willing to share my expertise with anyone that will listen and the response has been most surprising:
When I offer to help a friend or coworker establish a blog, I meet resistance. This never ceases to amaze me. Although the service is free of charge, and the Google SEO possibilities are endless, and the potential reward is great, they find reasons to discount blogging as a genuine professional activity.
Well, I have come to a conclusion. You can stand in front of this barreling juggernaut with your arms outstretched and try to stop it, or you can just climb aboard and enjoy the ride.
It's entirely up to you!

The day after Thanksgiving is traditionally the biggest shopping day of the year. Retailers go to great lengths to try to outdo each other, by having great sales and by modifying their hours.
It's Thanksgiving Day, 2008. Thanksgiving is a favorite holiday of mine, second only to Christmas. It has so many good memories associated with it that it is also inspires nostalgia.
I remember that everyone, adult and child alike, sang like there was no tomorrow! We sang classic tunes, and show tunes, and Christmas carols, and even rock and roll! We had a piano and a few guitars and we had a grand time together!
When tempests swirl above the crown
For the first time in many years, there will be no Newnan Candlelight tour of homes this Christmas season.
As many of you know, I'm an Internet guy. I've been at it for a long time, and have seen many changes in the industry.
It used to be that the little guy could keep up with the giant corporations, which made the Internet very appealing and allowed for some great innovations. Now, the individual webmaster is rapidly falling bay the wayside, yielding to those willing to spend millions to knock them aside!
In the midst of the turmoil of the economy, and in spite of all of the bad news coming from the economic sectors, it's time to sit back and reflect on all that we have for which to be grateful.
There is a difference between an excuse and a reason. Sometime there are genuine reasons why we remain unfulfilled and yearning for something more out of life. After all, we must survive, and we have obligations that require our undivided attention.
This most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire, why, it appears no other thing to me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours. (William Shakespeare, Hamlet)
It would be very easy to give up at this point. But the human spirit motivates us towards self-preservation. It is time to rise up and take positive action.
I have been taking photographs of autumn leaves for over thirty years now. I love the notion that time in moving quickly, and the subject is fleeting, and the window of opportunity is very short.
As most of you know by now, I love to take fall photos! When you think of autumn photos, you usually don't head to the downtown area of a large metropolis like Atlanta.

A cold front is charging through Newnan Georgia. Overnight temperatures are predicted to be in the mid-twenties, and that means one thing:
But I will dry the last peppers and the basil, and preserve them for use in spicy winter dishes of soups and stews, and I will enjoy walking on cool and crisp evenings, and I will anticipate the holidays with some exuberance.
Digital SLR (Single lens reflex) cameras are not the most compact cameras on the market, nor are they the easiest to use. And although they can be feature rich, they may have a high learning curve for the casual user.
Times are very hard in real estate these days. A lot of offices are making changes in order to remain competitive in an ever shrinking market. And change often involves casualties.
The Georgia Aquarium is one of the most popular destinations in Atlanta Georgia. It is located just north of Centennial Olympic Park in downtown. Atlanta experienced a makeover for the 1996 Olympic Games, and since that time has evolved into one of the premiere destinations for both tourists and suburbanites eager to experience the amenities of the metropolis.
There are plenty on hands-on exhibits, including petting pools and even an indoor playground for the kids. There are also touring exhibits, currently a collection of artifacts recovered from the wreck of the Titanic. Whether you want to or not, you will learn something new on every visit to this marvelous facility.
There is a common perception in the marketplace that no sector in the real estate industry is moving forward. However, downtown real estate in major metropolitan areas continues to be a favorite among consumers.
Every year during the holiday season, the Newnan Hospital Auxiliary sponsors a tour of historic homes in the city of Newnan. Since Newnan has many historic homes, including some antebellum houses, the tour can be very interesting.
We turned away from the cat and then started on our way, and as we left the stoop we heard a voice behind us. We quickly turned around and the cat was gone but a 60ish looking women was standing there looking puzzled.
Tastes change over time. When I was a young man, food was relatively bland. The average meal was meat and potatoes and perhaps pasta with a tomato sauce. If you wanted to purchase a spicy condiment, you might have been able to find a bottle of Tabasco sauce in some stores, but that was probably your only choice.
I wrote a post about how Christmas seems to
The point is, the decorations are right at hand, our ornaments are 3 feet from where the tree will be, and all I have to do is open the chest and decorate! And the items we replace with Christmas paraphernalia go right into the chests until after the holidays.
Wow, it's hard to believe that it's already November. Halloween has come and gone, and the election is over, and now we are all taking a collective sigh of relief. But time waits for no man.
