Welcome to the RE/MAX of Texas Blog, a place where real estate professionals from around Texas and the globe can connect to share insights, opinions and tricks of the trade with the real estate industry. With our emergence onto the Social Media scene, RE/MAX of Texas is broadening its audience and speaking to Realtors from every facet of the industry regardless of franchise affiliation.
It's a difficult time for today's real estate professional, but a unique time as well. Historically low interest rates combined with the first-time homebuyer tax credit and variety of inventory have made 2009 the best opportunity for consumers to realize homeownership and one of the best possible value for their investment. Unfortunately, consumer confidence is still shaky and Realtors must work harder than ever to reassure the public. Sadly, many Realtors are leaving the industry to return to the security of the 9-to-5 work week, or embracing unemployment.
RE/MAX of Texas wants to stem the loss of professionals from our industry. That's why you'll find this blog reaching out to more than just RE/MAX agents. We want to connect and share ideas and inspirations with the whole real estate community. We want to know what's going on in your market, what you are doing to keep business going, how you are adapting to market changes and what new ideas you are embracing to continue your careers' success!
For our part, we'll be offering insights, tips, news and inspirations of our own to keep you motivated and conversing with each other. Our main goal in this blog is to stimulate conversation between Realtors and real estate professionals. This is the time and place to let your voice be heard!
Sincerely,

RE/MAX of Texas and Mr. Filip,
ReplyDeleteGreat to see RE/MAX of Texas out here blogging and joining forces with your agents who have been plugging away at blogs and social media in general. It's a great benefit to many of us and to have you along side of us, will only encourage more to understand the hows and whys of social media.
I am a newer RE/MAX agent, having joined RE/MAX Access in Garden Ridge (San Antonio) just a few short months ago. Since then, my business went from 0 to 60 and I am looking forward to a good finish to the year. I intentionally joined RE/MAX Access for its views on social media and technology as a whole, something I felt was lacking in my last company and office. We have a group of agents who are thriving with the new technologies offered and we look forward to building on that as well. My last client came from Twitter (@rerockstar).
As I said, it's great to see you out here and if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask. I'm not a guru (you'll find that word is shunned in social media circles), but I know a thing or two and still have plenty to learn (and always will).
Take care and I look forward to seeing more!
Matt Stigliano

Thanks so much for the support, Matt! We're so glad to have you in our RE/MAX family. There's so much to explore, learn and innovate in the world of social media and we're excited that so many of our agents are already on board and ahead of the curve!
