THE HOME OF YOUR DREAMS IS HERE AT AN IRRESISTIBLE PRICE!
A few months back I had posted a blog that the HammersTeam was interviewed by 201 Magazine for an upcoming issue on Social Networking and Real Estate on the web. We were truly flattered!
Well it finally came out!
Yippee!
201 Magazine does have a website but this was a bonus section of the Fall Home edition that was included in it's newest Fall issue. But it's not on their website.
It's kind of funny/ironic that they would do this article but have no link to it on the web but I digress....
So I have had to shoot it manually and hopefully you can read it...
We don't consider ourselves experts by any means but it seems our Internet presence has paid off as the reporter from the magazine that interviewed us found our website on the net along with the many blogs we do. Go figure huh?
We told them all about our adventures/efforts in SEO including Active Rain and all other social networking that we utilize.
Well we finally got our copy. 
With a picture of one of our listings as well.
How thrilling it was for our clients to see their house in a high glossy print magazine layout.
FYI: 201 is the area code here in Northern New Jersey.
Not to mention a nice little plug for our website.
Nice!
We are extremely thankful to all the sites we participate in.
Especially Active Rain as it has provided a vehicle for us to expand on this platform in this very competitive business that we are all in.
