When I tell people that I have a real estate blogsite I usually get an odd sort of nod in response as if to say, that’s nice but what the heck is a blogsite? And, why a blog and not a traditional, static website?
Well, very simply, I have created a blogsite because a blogsite is vastly superior and more useful today than a static website. You may have heard the term Web 2.0 in conjunction with social networking discussions on the Internet. In very simple terms, the Internet has evolved from a basic resource tool to a highly social and interactive media.
The traditional real estate websites where you can go and search for listings, get standard, boiler-plate information for buyers and sellers about real estate and about why you simply must use Rita Real Estate because she is #1 and sold millions of houses and has a really old photo that doesn’t even look like her are being replaced by Blogsites.
Blogs are a whole new way to learn about real estate which enable the consumer to get all of the services and property search tools found on old-fashioned sites AND learn real, up-to-date and personalized information about a community, neighborhoods, real estate sales trends and guidance from the real estate agent who is working every day in the community about which they write.
How to use this Lake Norman Blogsite
-
Property Searches: Notice the large Home Search button at the top of my home page. This tab will take you directly to the RE/MAX property search so you can search for all properties in our MLS just like you would on any real estate website.
Just above this tool bar at the top of the homepage are four buttons:
-
Why a Lake Norman Blog which simply explains how to use the site and why I created it.is a second place where you can click to get to the MLS search page
-
Diane Aurit: tells you about my background, experience and education.
-
Contact me @ is my email contact information. Please feel free to email with suggestions as well as questions!
-
Clients and References: Again, for those of you looking for a Realtor, I have included comments from my clients as well as references.
At the top of the lright-hand column on the home page there is a Front Page link which is the same as a link to the “home” page. It remains there are you explore the site so you can always ger right back to the front page of my blog. Below that is a Search for Homes link which also takes you to the RE/MAX at the Lake MLS search for homes in the greater Lake Norman and Charlotte area. Next is the Mortgage Calulator which enables you to figure out your mortgage payments.
Also on the right hand column is the RSS FEEDS and EMAIL buttons. These are used to subscribe to my blog. I try to write 3-4 articles a week and this enables you to receive them by email or on your home page of your Internet Explorer.
Below these buttons is a list of links to recent articles.
Finally, there are the “topics” wish is basically a table of contents of the entire blog. I have written over 245 articles (called posts) to date so this helps readers to search by topic:
-

All of the articles you find in each of these categories are original material written by me. I do extensive research for most of these articles but I also rely heavily on my 17+ years of experience to provide guidance and expertise that goes far beyond the simple facts you might get on a standard website.
So, why am I willing to share ALL of my years of experience and insight with total strangers on the Internet?
- I want to help educate buyers and sellers in my Lake Norman communities in order to empower them to make wise decisions
- I want buyers and sellers to get to know me before we meet so that when we meet we will already know we are a good “fit”.
Blogsites are simply the best of all worlds IF the real estate agent is writing their own articles and providing truly honest and valuable information for their readers. You will find some blogsites do nothing but show the agents listings and are rather hardcore sales pitches. And, some people will find this type of agent suitable for them.
However, it is my goal to convey to my readers my passion for Lake Norman, my expertise as a Realtor and my desire to work with clients with whom I share a mutual trust and respect.
So that’s it! Welcome to the Blogosphere!
Now, if you have any questions or suggestions for topics that I should write about please leave me a comment or contact me directly!
P.S. I do have a traditional website but I don’t think you’ll need it!: My Website
