My Top Ten Posts – Not just real estate and not just me.
Out of curiosity, I had to check to see what people were reading outside of my main page and feed. Essentially what posts attracted the most hits from search engines and links from other blogs. Here’s how they show up in order of popularity.

Who is reading your Blog? Other agents?
It’s quite tempting to want to write about everything that’s going on. I mean, isn’t that where the majority of good blog fodder comes from? But to be fair, I realized that if the agents that were on the other side of the table were anything like me, I would want [...]

Thanks to Blogs
