You need to know what you're doing. You need to know your marketplace. You need a strong investor's list. You need the constitution to be proactive.

Real estate does include businesses and if you are catering to the locals, the locals will reciprocate. At least that is how it works in my area.I would take it you use your VRE to support your local business??? Mike,

What I notice is that Realtors are posting such general information about certain markets trying to get noticed by search engines. However, learn your community more by visiting businesses that out of state people may be interested in. Know the best pizza place or hair salon. Make yourself personable. It may take some time but I believe the slow steady pace will win out in the end. I am from the Lake Norman area of Charoltte but will not try and compete with some of the bigger franchises who market LAKE NORMAN. I try and market the specific neighborhoods in small towns surround the Lake Norman area. My blogs consistantly rank in the first page of google and yahoo. I have been sent referrals from other states and hope to continue my internet presence. My answer is quite simple…be a big fish in a small pond.
