Trackbacks increase blog traffic

February 11, 2009 by Drew Burks · 1 Comment 

Attention San Diego Realtors, are you using the trackback feature on your real estate blog?  I must admit I haven’t used this feature before.  I have been blogging for over a year now and never took the time to find out what the “trackback” feature in wordpress does.  I noticed the option everytime I wrote a post, but I guess I was so busy moving forward I didn’t take time to make sure I was making the most out of my efforts.  Hopefully you are smarter than I was; if not, I hope sharing this will help you.

Now that I realize I haven’t been blogging as smart as I could be I have been doing a great deal of research on the many ways to improve traffic to my blog.  Today I came across a really great blog with easy to follow instructions on ”How to use Trackbacks to Promote Your Blog“.  If you don’t know what trackbacks are, stop what you are doing right now and visit this blog:  http://www.5minutesformom.com/47/using-trackback/

Thank you Janice & Susan.  Your blog is great, keep up the good work

San Diego Realtors are happy

January 24, 2009 by Drew Burks · Leave a Comment 

Dream Design Realty is expanding by  hiring Realtors in San Diego! 

To expedite our expansion, I personally contacted 50-60 San Diego Realtors with a phone call the past two weeks in hopes of recruiting them to Dream Design Realty.  I targeted these agents by searching the MLS for all Realtors who closed fewer than 4 deals in 2008.  My reason for targeting this group to recruit was simple, I want to share my excitement for our extraordinary training/coaching program and our agent branding & marketing  system….which by the way are FREE to the Realtor. 

I am pleased to announce that despite the doom-n-gloom being reported from the media almost every Realtor told me they were extremely happy and felt they were succeeding in real estate.  I was also pleased to hear that the majority of these 50-60 Realtors mentioned that they were more than satisfied with the number of transactions closed in 2008.

I wish I had thought to ask better questions to these agents because I can’t help but wonder if they are truly happy or if they are just content.  I wonder how their life would be different if they had closed 12 deals last year.

I am really excited to share my company vision with any Realtor who may be struggling to earn consistent income working as a Realtor.  I opened this company ”To Provide A Better Way For Realtors To Succeed In Real Estate” and I believe that Dream Design Realty now has the best & most complete system to offer Realtors.

Is it possible that we hate change so badly that we convince ourselves that we are happy with so very little production & income?

Choose Hope NOT Fear

The Presidential Inauguration of Barrack Obama marks a day in History; a moment in time for each of us to become the change we wish to see in our world.

Today is a new beginning for all who choose to accept it; a new beginning for our spirit and soul.. Watching the Inauguration speech was inspirational and electrifying for millions; no doubt leaving each of us motivated to take action like never before.  I have seen countless interviews on the televison today with young people saying that they now believe they can be anything they want…feeling like they now have a reason to do more with their lives.

Without a watchful eye, our lives can spin out of control in the blink of an eye.  Maybe this is exactly what happened to our economy, our personal finances, our relationships and our businesses….did we just take our eyes off everything that is important to us?  What the hell were we looking at?

What I have taken away from today’s events:  Be a Leader in your family, Be a Leader amongst your friends, Be a Leader in your personal life, Be a Leader in your company, Be a Leader in your sphere of influence, Be a Leader in your business life….. Be a Leader!

Dream Design Realty wants to help you close more deals in 2009.  See below snippet from this week’s San Diego Business Journal……

Just Sell 2 Houses A Year

Joshua Barton, an agent with Dream Design Realty, says the model makes sense if an agent sells at least two houses a year. Barton estimated last month that he would close 10 houses in 2008.

“I thought, how can I work under a quality name and at the same time reduce my overhead, with each commission being so important in these crazy times in the real estate market,” Barton said. “I see my benefit of paying $6,000 rather than a broker keeping a commission split.”

Our systems work, the application is really up to the individual agent.
