Nice profile Jay, I hope you do get to spend time as a fishing guide. It is interesting that Marc commented that "Print is dead" on an online news site. Sure there will always be times people might choose to get their information through a hard copy source but the speed of how fast information travels on the internet is amazing. Open houses work well in my market, they are well attended and agents who host three to four opens a week get clients from it, however I would rather spend my time building a business on the internet than sitting waiting for a buyer that may or may not walk through. Blogging does take time but so does door knocking, holding open houses, cold calling, etc. At the end of the day, the writing is still there and hopefully is indexed into the search engines for buyers and sellers of the future to find you.

It is exciting to work with clients who were priced out a couple of years ago buy their first home. Some of these people had been watching the housing market and were fence sitting when prices went sky high. They aren't waiting to see where the absolute bottom is, they are making sure they get into a home they can afford now. Carolyn Gjerde-Tu Davis CA Real Estate

For anyone who uses tracking software like hittail, there is no doubt that you get a lot of traffic from long tail terms. Some of these hits do lead to good clinets. The more broad city real estate searches also bring good clients, it is all a numbers game. The more people who visit, the more potential clients. Carolyn Gjerde-Tu Davis CA Real Estate
