Where do you get your real estate industry news? If you just rely on your local Association of REALTORS® newsletter or MLS splash page, you may be missing out on some key information that could help you better serve your clients.
What follows is the list of sites that I regularly check out and I thought that you might find them to be useful too!
Real Estate News Sites
www.TheClose.com – The Close is a new kind of real estate site designed to give agents, teams, and brokerages actionable, strategic insight from industry professionals. They cover real estate marketing, lead generation, technology, and team building strategies from the perspective of working agents and brokers who want to take their business to the next level. They ALWAYS have something of interest to you on their site. This is a must visit web site.
www.fitsmallbusiness.com/real-estate/ – Fit Small Business is the leading digital resource for small business owners. We provide clear, comprehensive, and actionable content they need to succeed. Small business owners are passionate and driven about what they do, and so are we. They have sections on Marketing, Financing, HR, Retail, Online Buisness, Real Estate and Office. The link will take you to the Real Estate Section.
www.keepingcurrentmatters.com – At KCM, their mission is to change the way real estate advisors educate and serve their clients. They publish blog posts which they encourage you to share with your clients. You can also purchase, via subscription, the same posts that are branded to you. They have a wealth of other materials that you can use for your own social media needs. Worth checking out!
www.rismedia.com/ – RISMedia was founded in 1980 by CEO and Publisher John E. Featherston, as the residential real estate industry’s definitive source for news and information for real estate’s most profitable and productive professionals–and all those looking to gain a competitive edge. Initially, it was via a magazine, which is still published today, but they have grown into a digital media provider. Their ACE Social offering will auto post branded to you content on your Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter accounts on a daily basis for a reasonable price. I’ve used them for years.
www.engage121.com – This site offers to perform Search Engine Optimizations services for all small businesses. That’s ok, but it is not the reason that I include them here. The reason that I think you should know about them is because the provide a service that will give you free content that YOU can post on your social sites. They do this via a daily email that comes Monday through Friday.
They call that service HotContent and you can learn about it here: https://dashboard.engage121.com/signup_hc_mktg/
www.Inman.com – Inman says that they are “The First Word in Real Estate”. They always seem to have a good handle on what is going on in the business of real estate as well as plenty of articles and advice on how to do the real estate business. A subscription here is worth the price many times over. If you hold the CRS Designation, an Inman News Subscription is included as a membership perk.
Obviously there are many more great sites with a real estate focus, but these are the ones that I pay attention to on a regular basis.
Spend a little time checking them out and see if any of them will be useful to you, your clients and your business!
