Steven “Obeoman” Stearns called me yesterday while I was talking with the reporter from the AJC (actually, he IM’d me… and then called after I was off the phone). He is the Social Media Marketing guru for Obeo, the provider of some of the cool toys with which I outfit listings. He wanted an interview also… not about the Gwinnett County real estate market, but about the newest listing website I built for a client.
We have been communicating via Twitter and Active|Rain and IM for quite a while while I was researching how I wanted to present 9010 Brixham Court in Suwanee, GA. He was pretty excited about the site and some of the ideas that I had to better integrate Obeo’s offerings into my marketing. He actually is one of the folks that was watching the site as I built it out, offering opinions and ideas along the way.
This “Web 2.0″ revolution is changing the way that we real estate agents can market properties. He wanted to explore that a little more, and also talk a little bit about other venues I’m using. I saw it as a great opportunity to share what I am trying to accomplish, as well as promote the property. And, since Obeo has a good bit of juice, and Steve’s blog has a good bit of juice, it is a great venue to promote the property.
I like good noise. Good noise is good for my clients.

….Good noise is right-bring it on!
No one is having trouble finding this listing, though-you have had in a short time almost 200 visitors and almost 2,000 individual room views. Here is the link to the traffic, your marketing plan is really picking up steam on this home:

…and I wonder if my bosses in Utah, who neither confirm nor deny the existence of my blog, know that their Eastern Wisconsin Market Manager is a guru-aren’t gurus were those quiet, humble people that sat on cushions quietly or lived in the mountains, waiting for others to find them?
…Being engaged and being out there is so important. That is where you are at Lane-more power to you!.
I’ll be stopping by,
Steve
