When you hear copywriting, real estate probably doesn't come to mind. But I'm surprised at how much of my work can be reduced to writing, editing and revising copy.  Marketing flyers, monthly mailers and listing remarks are just a few that come to mind.

A local title agency sent us some links to real estate articles, and one of them is this article at Bankrate.com, 20 things that can alter the value of your home.

I've marketed a lot of homes, and I've spent a lot of time looking at other homes on the market. One of the funniest pictures I've ever seen on the MLS was a living room shot with a shirtless man sitting on the couch looking indolently at the camera. So "half-dressed man in the living room" is ou...

Thrilled to be on Active Rain. In case you haven't read my short bio over there, I'm the marketing brains behind our real estate company not the agent. Don't ask me for advice or information that I can't legally answer. But feel free to pester me with marketing questions or ridicule my marketing....
