Selling a home is a full-time job. And most of today's buyers are online (nearly 9 of 10 recent buyers used the Internet in their home search), and unrepresented sellers have no access to major online marketing avenues such as REALTOR.com and other sites with large pools of listings to which buyers are attracted.

Just 13% of recent sellers sold their home without professional representation. Only 7% of these sales were on the open market (cases where unrepresented sellers were selling to family, friends and neighbors account for 6 percent of all recent home sale activity).

Almost a year ago I decided to take some classes at local Oakton Community College in Des Plaines, IL and I got hooked.

I read so many posts about HTML, CSS, Blogging, SEO etc. on ActiceRain Real Estate Network. All the great reads made me interested to learn more. I needed to learn more to help me be better in the industry.

My first class was Building a Web Page. The class was great for a beginner like me. Finally I was able to understand HTML and much much more. Since than I took Web Authoring Software, Advanced Web Page Development where Java Script was a main topic. With being jealous of some great looking blogs I had to take Adobe Photoshop class, which was a lot of fun, and of course helps touching up the pictures of the homes we put on the market.

How many of us in the industry are Web Addicts, Bloggers, Photographers, Web Developers, Web Designers, SEO enthusiasts?

I forgot to mention that I will be a Certified Web Site Developer this year.
