East Bay Real Estate Blog Postings Create Unbelievable Results!

Just last November Jim Walberg began informing the World about his views of real estate markets.
.
WOW! Last Friday I received a call from Marisa Katz who is doing an article for the London Financial Timesregarding what is happening in the U.S. real estate market, specifically in the Bay Area. I asked her why she called me for this information. She stated that she found me on my blog site that I launched just two months ago. She also discovered my Caribbean Islands Realty blog site, too, said she enjoyed the way they were written in a clear and understandable way, and that it appeared I was one of the more credible real estate blog sites she had visited in quite some time. I have to tell you that I was blown away.
.

You have discovered that I have lived in the East Bay since 1970 and that I have been hanging out in the Caribbean sailing and practicing real estate for almost 30 years. I still have much more to discover, but I DO know the Bay Area and the Caribbean – from the Golden Gate to the Sierras, and the Turks & Caicos to Aruba. And, I even have my “shellback” earring as a symbol of sailing across the equator. All I am doing with my two blog sites is being a “…citizen journalist noticing what is going on in the world in which I live, work and play.”
.

My original intent with launching two blog sites was to learn how to implement what I learned from the books “The New Rules Of Marketing & PR” by David Meerman Scott, and “Influencer – The Power To Change Anything”, by Kerry Patterson, Joseph Grenny, David Maxfield, Ron McMillan, and Al Switzler. My thoughts late last November were to learn the rules and strategies of blogging and then implement the strategies with my East Bay real estate company, and my Caribbean Islands Realty company. My expectation was that no one would notice what I was doing until I had mastered the rules. However, the world has discovered what I have been writing about regarding East Bay real estate and the Caribbean. Now, what has happened is more dramatic results than I ever dreamed would show up by just writing about what I notice each day regarding two very distinct and interesting real estate markets!
.
Since my blogging began we have signed over 15 marketing agreements with international real estate developers who are creating destination and resort properties around the world – not just in the Bay Area and the Caribbean. The access that has been created for me with influencers would have never happened without jumping into the world of blogging – a very specific example of the POWER of blogging!
.
Who would have ever dreamed that this “Old Salty Dog” at 60 years old would ever be noticed by anyone in the Blogisphere? See…there is hope for all of us who are willing to notice what is happening in the worlds we are living and working in, and then putting our experiences into writing. Until next time…Comments?
