Check out the New group on Active Rain.  Commercial Real Estate referral network  Join today I started this group because as I was searching for a commercial group to launch my Commercial blog and listings in I didn't see any.  I felt there was a need for a Commercial group for those of us that work in Commercial real estate to have a place to network, offer tips and discuss trends in the Commercial arena.  I am sure I can learn so much from many of you and I hope you will join my group so we can share our listings, and wealth of  experiences memebers of Active Rain have in the Commercial market. Again please join my group Commercial Real Estate referral network and let's have some fun!!  Commercial Real Estate referral network 11/05/2009

Using Your Blog To Enhance Existing Relationships   Part 2 When I started this blogging venture back in July it was a whole new world for me.  I had little computer skills other than the basics.  I was fortunate to have someone take me under his wing and show me the ropes of blogging and maneuvering through social media and the internet.   This took my business into a new dimension.  I launched my bogs into so many sites I am now linked to reaching as many people as possible.  I focus on Market Reports, local events, local restaurants, listings, anything I feel would benefit the consumer whether living in Utah or relocating to Utah. I have used my blog almost like a website, although I have a web site.  I have my active rain link www.activerain.com/Luv2ski on all my emails, mailings, w... 10/30/2009

Using Your Blog To Enhance Existing Relationships Thanks Bob for the contest, I can always use more points. Recently I got a commercial listing, one of the tools I used to build that relationship with that client was send him some of my past blogs.  He wanted some insight on me and my business.   I explained how I use blogging as a tool to reach out into the Internet to get my message out or information on a listing.  I also explained how I link my blog  to many sights and how I use the Google juice I get from blogging to get on the front page of Google.  I emailed several of my blogs on Commercial Real Estate in Utah as well as other blogs to give him a sense of who I am. I also email myself my blogs and forward them on to my SOI which includes my preferred vendors such as my Title com... 10/26/2009

We need Positive Price Action to confirm market bottom.  One month of price improve isn't sufficient to confirm the market bottom.  We need to see appreciation month over month for three months.
