Make Me an Offer: Buying Unlisted Homes

August 22, 2006 by idxcentral 1 Comment

What an exciting day! In January, I spoke at the Inman Real Estate Convention in NYC. In the audience was a reporter from The Wall Street Journal.

And today, 22 Aug 2006… I was quoted in The Wall Street Journal!

Bob Hagerty wrote about one of the creative ways we find homes for buyers – sending postcards in the neighborhood asking “Do you have a home for our buyer?”

My good friend, and fellow CyberStar, Margaret Rome from Baltimore was also quoted. Margaret hosts the superb “Sell your home with Margaret Rome” blog.

Oh.. and do you subscribe to the WSJ? You can read the article online.

    Congratulations on being published in such an august Journal! It just dissappoints me that they focus on the “old fashioned” technology (yes, I know it works) rather than some of the really innovative stuff – this blog for a start – that is also starting to work well.

    We are finding a massive increase in web site traffic coming from our RSS “blogs” of our home, land and rental properties. The take up of blog usage is following the same sort of exponential growth that the viewing of web sites did five years ago.

    One of these days I might write an article on it and get it published…. B-)
