Real Estate is Local
All of my years in the real estate business, this is a theme that marketing professionals hammer home… all real estate is local. Of course, this is true. The market changes with location… from state to state, county to county, and sometimes even from street to street.
“Real Estate is Local” was also a driving force behind us starting this blog nearly three years agofor the Fredericksburg Real Estate market. We saw it as an opportunity to educate “local” real estate consumers, and those many, many families expecting to be transferred to our area. By all accounts, our efforts have been a great success. We have met many people through the blog… buyers, sellers, agents, mortgage people, local politicians, and many others.
I enjoy the relationships created through the blog, but nothing that happens here is as rewarding as hearing someone tell us how much they learned and how much the information helped them in their purchase or sale.
However, we are in a unique time in the real estate business, where what is happening locally is largely happening across the country. Several times a month, in recent weeks, I have fielded calls and emails from all over the country. Most of these contacts are either about short sales, or the HAP program. This has served to remind me that what we do here is important, and that we need to keep providing current and relevant information on these topics. So, in 2010, look for more posts on these topics as we seek to keep the Fredericksburg real estate market informed as to the peaks and valleys of this crazy real estate era.
