My first day! It took awhile…..but I have finally entered the world of the inter-active website (blog)! Why?

Carole’s Top 7 reasons for creating a blog:

  1. Firewalls- I have a love/hate relationship with them! We have a tremendous difficulty in getting our newsletters through them. Not a problem with a blog.
  2. Timely- you can get up-to-date info on market trends, hot finds, municipal new alerts, events/activities. Instead of grouping our news in a monthly/seasonal package, we can get information to you on a more timely basis.
  3. Info sharing- so many times we have clients looking for help in particular areas and an interactive website (a blog) is a tremendous method to meet this need. Need the name of a good mover, snow-plow company? Now you can post your request & get a first-hand reference.
  4. When I view a really great house, listed with someone else, I can share this info with you. Let me know if you want more details (we will just email them off to you. No additional emails to you. You let us know if you want more info or want to see it.
  5. Categories: you can do a search on my blog by category, i. e recipes or rebates.
  6. Team input- I won’t be the only one inputting info on the blog. Sue Woodford, our star photographer/writer and Crystal Kluke, our Listings Manager & Office Manager will also be adding their news & views.
  7. You can be automatically notified of any blog updates via RRS http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA101744611033.aspx

I welcome feedback! Happy New Year!
