The Ask a Texas REALTOR(R) Campaign - Texas Agents - Are You Utilizing This Site?

Last week I collected my mail at my office and began sifting through it all. I immediately looked for important items - you know, bills, and also looked for things that I could immediately toss. Then I looked at a postcard from our Texas Association of REALTORS. It got my attention. Perhaps you got a postcard like this.

It said, "What's really going on with Texas real estate?"

Then it said "Ask a Texas Realtor".

The Ask a Texas Realtor campaign is one of the most important websites we, as Texas Realtors, could promote to our clients, and I shamefully had not taken advantage of it yet.

I went on over to www.texasrealestate.com because I admittedly had not done so yet.

It was a WEALTH of information. You can even subscribe to the RSS feed for your website. Talk about a no-brainer! Here are a few things I learned in the few minutes I spent on the site that day:

• Texas is one of ONLY seven states that does not tax individual wage income.

• 305,951 miles of roadways, more than any other state.

• The Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) airport is larger (in acres) than Manhattan Island.

Now, do all of these things have to do with Texas REAL ESTATE? No. But you get the idea. You can have one site to direct your relo clients to for anything and everything to do with Texas. Take advantage of your State Association and the great site they have put together. I know I'll be paying a lot more attention to it!
