Because SHE’s IN THE VIDEO and becaue she’s in the video, she’s working on building her local “Trust Agent” identity – a phrase borrowed from Chris Brogan’s “Trust Agents: Using the Web to Build Influence, Improve Reputation, and Earn Trust! By the way, Chris Brogan has over 25,000 subscribers to his blog. In 2010, those in business build their “LOCAL BRAND” and “TRUST” by being seen online and in person in an authorative manner – speaking as the local professional.

http://www.accuratevg.com/ – Greater Baton Rouge Named Second Best Economic Development Market!

The Baton Rouge Business Report AM is delivering Great News for the Greater Baton Rouge housing market. The link to the article is here!

Here’s the good news:

“Baton Rouge is ranked second by Southern Business and Development magazine among the top 10 mid-markets of the decade, based on the amount of new and expanded project wins over the last 10 years. Some of the notable projects in the top-10 issue include: Albemarle, Electronic Arts, SNF Holding Company and The Shaw Group. Project wins that affected rankings must have consisted of 200 or more jobs and/or $30 million or more in capital investment. Huntsville, Ala., was the only city to top Baton Rouge.

Baton Rouge was also ranked third-best metro area in economic development in 2009 by Site Selection magazine.

Adam Knapp, BRAC president and CEO, says he attributes the area’s success to the chamber’s “Campaign for a Greater Baton Rouge.” The Southern Business and Development Story can be found here.“

http://www.batonrougerealestatebuzz.com/ – Baton Rouge Real Estate Agents: Would A Geographical Competency Map Of Your Previous Listings Help You Earn More Listings? If you’re an experienced agent, it certainly would by adding hundreds of red labels on a Google map.

As the map above illustrates, I recently learned how to use Google Maps to Geocode some of the home addresses I’ve been appraising. This process created a “Geographical Competency Map” illustrating my competency to appraise homes in certain local housing markets. In an HVCC era, this helps me to prove that I’m “geographically competent” to appraise homes locally and that I’m not traveling 50 miles out of my normal marketing area or beyond my market competency.

Question: If you as a local real estate agent created such a map to show to your listing prospects, would it help you earn more listings? I think it would!

I learned to create such a map by watching this video below and checking out REBliss.com’s How To Use Google Maps to Show Your Geographic Competency.
