After my web guy and myself worked on the site, it’s finally done – the wordpress upgrade. This really has nothing to do with real estate except for the fact that wordpress is a great blogging tool and can help connect you with other real estate investors and sellers.
In this business, personality sells. People will deed their house over to you because they like and trust you. In every marketing piece that I send out, there’s always my personality and my own personal story.
This allows people to connect with you and you can build rapport really fast.
And a blog mixed with a little of your personality, add a few pics and videos, and throw in some real world tips helps create an unshakeable bond with your seller.
So…
WordPress – great blogging tool, but I was having some problems this week in the admin dashboard, so upgraded and disabled a few things on the site that I wasn’t utilizing as much as I’d planned – (yes the photos are gone for the time being) I may bring the photos back if enough people want me to post pics, but I found people really didn’t care how many deals I was doing, how much money I made – they just wanted to know how they could get into this real estate game for themselves.
So, the site looks a little different with the new home page, but you can view all of my articles just like before by clicking on the ‘blog’ tab.
Take care and talk soon…

So, you have something that requires a serious surgical operation. Your cousin just got out of med school and you love/trust the guy. Across town, there is another doc that you’ve heard everyone talk about how he is the best of the best but is a (insert your favorite expletive).
Who are you going to pick (assuming price is constant)?
Sometimes, people would possibly even do business with you even if they don’t like you. Maybe they trust you and have confidence that you’ll do what you say.
