Realty Blogging Adds Appraiser To List Of Contributors

This post fall under the "Shamless Self-Promotion" category! It seems like ages ago, but Appraisal News for Real Estate Professionals only started in mid-March and already has a steady following. One of my earliest posts was Blog Marketing for Appraisers 101. At that point I had no clue where this *new* (to me) technology would lead. My main goal was just to shine a more "positive light" on appraisers and the appraisal profession. I got sick and tired that the only news articles and blog posts were about appraisers involved in fraud or being indicted for one thing or another.

But along the way, I discovered something else. I found that there were thousands of others that were interested in the same things that I was. I found out that there was an entire blogosphere of other real estate professionals posting about their thoughts and interests too.

One of the first of the "old-timers" in real estate blogging to recognize my efforts was Chris Bubny, Director of Community Management for Blogging Systems. He was encouraging and his blog(s) was a good roll model for me.

Yesterday, Chris contacted me to see if I'd be interested in being a regular contributor (Panel Member) for Realty Blogging. I said yes! Chris is one of the leaders in real estate blogging that recognizes the power of "collaboration" with other blogging professionals to create a constant stream of current information.

Here's the introductory post on the Realty Blogging blog: Realty Blogging has three great new additions to our panel. I'm very excited to announce that Jason Ungos, Marlow Harris, and Brian Davis have joined our effort to educate real estate bloggers on effective blogging methods and for once we didn't have to use force!

The networking value of blogs is absolutely evident and completely embraced in this post. In the past, could it have been this easy to bring together these three individuals, all from different parts of the country and whose talents lie in completely different areas of the real estate industry? I think not!
