RE Blogworld Announced for September
Todd Carpenter has just announced RE Blogworld, a real estate and mortgage conference taking place September 19 in conjunction with Blogworld and New Media Expo (September 20 and 21) in Las Vegas.
Are you a mortgage professional and still not sure if blogging is for you? Todd offers the following advice:
In an environment where the prestige of being an agent or originator is no better than a used car salesman, there’s no better time to use blogging and new media as a platform for proving to your clients that you are different. I’ve seen it from my own efforts.
I couldn’t agree more. As real estate (Zillow, Trulia, Eppraisal) and mortgage (SmartHippo) information becomes more freely available to anyone with an Internet connection, the role of a broker is shifting as well. Reputation and trust are more important than ever, and blogging is one of the cheapest and most effective ways of building these. Whether you have an existing blog, or are thinking about it but not sure where to start, RE Blogworld should be on your calendar this September.
