realtorflagPass this on to your favorite REALTOR

NH REALTORS have an awesome opportunity to learn from the Pros! If you’re just learning about blogging, Twitter, Facebook, SEO and YEO and you haven’t signed up for the next New Hampshire Association of REALTORS convention you should do so as soon as possible.

Convention is packed with Web 2.0/Social Media rock stars

The speakers presenting at this convention are from all over the country and they actually use social media, they have spoken at the National Association of REALTOR conventions, franchise conventions and RE Bar Camps. If that is not enough reason for you to attend then how about the fact that this is  probably one of the most affordable New Hampshire conventions in years.

You can’t afford to miss it

If you are a NH REALTOR who is active on Twitter or Facebook then you have most likely seen their updates!  I’m thrilled that they have agreed to come to NH and share their techniques with us all.  Come and meet Mariana Wagner aka @Mizzle a real estate blogger and coach from Colorado Springs, Linda Davis aka @LindaDavis a Blogger and trainer from Connecticut, Cyndee Haydon aka @CyndeeHaydon a blogger who passionately believes in the power of video from Clearwater Florida and NAR’s own Keith Garner aka @KTGeek a blogger and a member of NAR’s geek squad.  This is one convention you can’t afford to miss!

Don’t miss it!  You can get more info or register for the convention  here  http://www.nhar.org/annual-convention

Social Media a waste of time

Real Estate Summit in DC

Pat Buchanan and Harold fordJay and I are attending the annual REALTOR mid year meetings in DC this week and one of the events that we participated in yesterday was a day long Real Estate  Summit which was all about ” Advancing the U.S. Economy” .

The information exchanged was incredible. We heard from people like former Representative Harold Ford, Pat Buchanan, Dr. Robert Reich, Secretary of HUD Shaun Donovan and Alan Greenspan to name just a few.

The over all message was that we are entering into a recovery period but everyone was cautiously optimistic. Many talked about home pricing and reiterated the fact that it will be a good long time before we see any kind of major appreciation.

The market movement we’ve seen in Southern NH is also shared by many other states and while real estate has picked up Dr Robert Reichthe word at the summit was more changes need to happen, especially within the banking industry, short sales, tax credits and housing incentives were heavily discussed.

The information we received is worth reading and REALTOR magazine has published an excellent report which I have linked below.

Monika is “In The House”- WKXL 1450-

This past Monday, Oct 6, I was interviewed live on a local Concord NH radio program called In The House on WKXL1450.

The program was on the air from 1pm to 2pm and the topic was REALTOR® ethics and how they effect the consumer. We ended up running out of time so the second interview will take place Monday Oct 13th and will be broadcast live.

Funny thing is, as a kid I always wanted to be on the radio in fact I used to play act with a brush as my microphone…Think of Tom Cruise in his underwear dancing and singing into a brush in the movie Risky Business LOL.

I was interviewed by Brenda Perkins the host of In The House and she did a great job making me feel relaxed. I felt comfortable talking Ethics and couldn’t believe how quick the hour flew by. If you missed the show, as most of you did, since I told no one I was doing it, I have linked it here on New Hampshire Real Estate Blogs.com for you to enjoy. :)

Blogging REALTOR….

This is pretty cool. Blogging can make a difference! Jay and I have been blogging since 2006 and we have encountered many naysayers along the way. So when I saw this news clip…I had to post it. The 1st minute is a commercial and then it goes right to the news story.
