Is Our Newsletter Looking Strange to You?
By · Comments
For the past couple of weeks, the copy of the weekly BRER Newsletter email I’ve received has had a very strange email subject line and beginning to the content.
I am working with Feedblitz to correct this situation.
If you subscribe to the email newsletter, and you are seeing strange things – or if the email is looking just fine - please take a moment to leave a comment. Just OK or strange is all the comment I need.
I don’t think it’s just me, but I could be wrong. Feedblitz isn’t seeing the problem on a consistent basis. Thanks for your help. We’ll have the problem fixed as soon as possible!
Update: Feedblitz did a great job of tracking down the issue and coming up with a resolution. Thanks, Phil!

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is an important part of our Web-Centric philosophy regarding real estate marketing. And, there are a number of ways you can implement an SEO strategy.
You can turn the whole thing over to an SEO firm. You can do everything yourself. Or, you can become your own “general contractor” for SEO. And, that’s what we have found to work the best in many cases.
You can take advantage of our Real Estate SEO Coaching program to get control over your SEO plans. That program requires approximately 12-15 hours of your time. We go through the basics of what needs to be done to get your sites ranking. At the end of the process, you’ve defined a strategy tailored to your needs.
Once you understand what needs to be done, and have a strategy defined, you can make decisions about whether you want to hire someone to do the entire job, or whether you want to maintain more control over the process by hiring experts that can perform various tasks defined in your strategy.

Have a Happy 4th of July 2010!

4th of July 2010
Aristotle is quoted as saying “The basis of a democratic state is liberty.”
I’m thankful that I live in a democratic state. But, I’ll admit that sometimes, the liberty part gets to me. I’m frustrated that lobbyists have the liberty to affect legislation.
I’m mad that some landlords take the liberty of making their tenants’ living arrangements unlivable. I’m sad that so many children have the liberty to drop out of school and waste their lives in jail or getting high.
I’m incensed that our elected officials have the liberty to mess things up from time to time. But, then, the majority of Americans have the liberty not to vote, which makes a lot of elected officials focus more on the games of politics rather than the business of representing their constituents.
And, I’m sure you can tell I could go on and on. But, despite this long list, I still think I’ve been very blessed to be an American.
Celebrate Our Independence!
Don’t forget that our troops do a great job of keeping the spirit of July 4th alive! Here are several ways you can show your support:
Send an email at America Supports You!!
Let’s Say Thanks – It’s Free! Choose a card design – the designs are donated to the site by school kids - then, write a greeting or choose one that’s already written. Xerox prints the cards and sends them to our troops serving overseas.
AMillionThanks.org – This organization is dedicated to showing support for and assisting our military. You can write letters and drop them off at many locations nationwide. It’s a good idea to check out the website first to review the guidelines for what to send.
“Operation Homefront is one of a select few charities privileged to operate under a Department of Defense auspices. Operation Homefront provides emergency assistance to our troops, to families troops leave behind, and to wounded soldiers when they return home. Operation Homefront leads more than 4,000 volunteers in 31 chapters nationwide. Since its inception, Operation Homefront has provided assistance to over 45,000 military families in need.”
As you know, the bill to extend the tax credit closing deadline has been bouncing back and forth in the Congress. The good news is that it has now been passed by both houses, and is on its way to the President’s office for signature.
The extended tax credit closing deadline is September 30, 2010. The credit applies to home buyers who meet the other criteria for the credit, and who had a signed contract in place by April 30, 2010.
Eligibility will not be affected by the delay between the time that the Congress passed the extension and the time when the President signs off.
In other good news, legislation to extend the National Flood Insurance Program has also been approved. Read more about both legislative actions at Realtor.org.
