I would love to find and follow some new real estate blogs with original content and great photos and video. If  you do a great blog or know about some great real estate blogs, post them in the comment section below.

Why? I am interested in real estate and in visiting my neighbourhood, communities where I have lived,  places I have visited, and destinations I would like to visit.

A good real estate blog will give me some good ideas about what is taking place in a particular market and help me to stay current with that community.

There is a lot of ‘canned content’ out there. Brokerages, agents, or their content providers provide some news that has been boiled up and served to many over dozens, if not hundreds of websites/blogs. There is a place for borrowed material when we are distracted by other concerns or our creative well is running a little dry.

But the gold is in the original content.  Real estate agents have a unique perspective and for various reasons, mostly busyness I suppose, they do not get around to sharing it in their blogs.

High-quality original content is what will bring me back to your real estate blog.  People like to read blogs that are a blend of useful information and entertainment.

You can have a very simple blog design without a lot of frills. You can post as little as once a week. Just be sure to understand that your reader is not a loyal and polite friend. They are visiting you because you have something to offer them.

An added bonus: Google and Bing continue to make changes that are directed toward rewarding original content. So without cost, you can boost your SEO in the right direction.
