Real Estate Radio USA Episode 43
January 17, 2008
Barry Johnson…
In the news today… Jesse Jackson was at it again. Barry C and I actually got into quite the conversation about Barry C’s predictions. He brought up the very real possibility of homeowners suing their banks for predatory lending and civil rights violations. You really need to listen to this episode to understand what could possibly be the “nightmare scenario” for cities and banks. Here comes the good news, what may be a nightmare for the banks and cities can actually turn into a windfall for savvy investors. This one is worth listening to a few times.
Also the start of the foreclosure Fire Season has officially begun. We talked about this a week or so ago and told everyone to be on the lookout for “mysterious fires” in homes in foreclosure. Well, Sheryl Christman from Gaines Township, Michigan is facing up to 20 years in prison for setting fire to her home that was in foreclosure. More to follow on this I am sure. Keep your eyes out folks.
We had a fantastic interview today with Mary McKnight from RSSPieces.com . If you are a real estate agent (Realtor) and you do not have a blog, why not? After speaking with Mary about the upside and potential income a personal, SEO maximized blog can bring in, why in the world would anyone not call her immediately and get one going? Mary talked what a blog can bring to your business, some of the things to look out for, and what kind of time and monetary commitment you can expect from having your own blog. She is a specialist in every definition of the word and we will be talking to her more about blogging and optimizing your website very soon.
Here are the links to the stories we talked about today:
- Woman pleads no contest to home arson
- Jackson joins fray over foreclosures
- Allure Of Real Estate Is Waning For Agents
Hey guys, just listened to your episode (Mary McKnight told me to) and it was great. Did not know you existed but will be back for more.
I just started with RSS Pieces in November and need to get out of the sandbox soon. Mary has been great educating me on technocrap I had no clue about. It is getting addicting. My wife is calling me a blogw………e.
Mary’s guidance is unequalled!! She even answers emails!!
Great show, thanks
