The AgentOwned Realty Company as a long tail keyword is working for me. It is kind of amusing -- I am actually competing with myself for # 1 on the first page of Google.
The company web site, The AgentOwned Realty Company, ranks # 1 on Google and my Active Rain posts rank down on the first page.
However, my Active Rain blog posts are automatically posted on Facebook. I find that a lot of the public read my posts on Facebook.
Because Katerina Gasset encourage me to use The AgentOwned Realty Company as my long tail keyword, I have been doing so.
Just this week, I got a call from a couple of broker-owners of a small real
estate company in South Carolina who had been seeing my Active Rain post on Facebook. They are interested in our Franchise of The AgentOwned Realty Company. They have made an appointment to meet with us. In a post written this week, I talked about how my audience is different because I am not a competing broker --I am looking for potential agent-owners and for potential buyers of our Franchise.
Success comes from using Active Rain --- Thanks, Active Rain -- you are helping The AgentOwned Realty Company to grow.

There is a little 9 year old girl, Anna (our niece), who has juvenile diabetes. Recently, I wrote a post about the walk in Columbia, SC to raise awareness of Juvenile Diabetes as well as to raise money for research to find the cure.
I do want to thank JL Boney who donated to the cause in honor of Anna not only money, but also put my post on his blog site and his web site. Thanks, JL.
Anna's Army, (Anna with a large group of her supporters) was to gather at 1:30 pm on Sunday. Boyd and I planned to participate in the walk with Anna's Army.
The night before the walk, a little 6 year old girl, Eliza (our granddaughter), was spending the evening with Boyd & me. We were talking about the next day and going to Columbia for the walk. Eliza wanted to go --- we told her it was just too far for her -- that she would be miserable. Eliza began to ask a lot of questions about what was wrong with Anna. I explained the best that I could.
The next morning, Eliza called to say, "Please don't leave before I come over - I have something to send to Anna."
Just before we were about to leave, Eliza came over and said "Special delivery for Anna Felder" and handed me an special cloth purse that she had made and had "Anna" on the front. Eliza told me that she had put a $10 bill in the purse to help Anna.
This was entirely Eliza's idea --- she had $18 dollars in her piggy bank from the tooth fairy and for working little jobs around her house. She took $10 of it to send to help Anna. I was so touched that this little 6 year old was giving up her valuable money to help Anna. As I hugged her, I was crying. I, then, had to explain to Eliza that they were tears of pride in her.
When we got to Columbia for the walk and I gave Anna the special purse, she opened it and in addition to the $10 bill was a note written to Anna by Eliza -- I never saw what was in the note, but Anna and her best friend both had tears in their eyes after reading it.
Anna is shown here with her granddad, Miles Loadholt, and the money that Eliza sent.
Anna sent Eliza an Anna's Army shirt --- when we got home, Eliza was so
proud to have a shirt --- she felt really a part of Anna's Army.
I am so very proud of Eliza for her unselfishness ---she is such a sensitive and caring child. She was so upset to learn that "her Anna was sick" and she wanted to do her part to help Anna.
Anna's Army had a great turn out for supporters for the walk ---every penny donated helps. As of today, there is no cure -- we are praying that there will be a cure found for Anna and all those others out there suffering with this terrible disease.

Boeing Comes to N Charleston SC is such an exciting topic for everyone around Charleston, SC tri-county area. Everywhere you go, people are talking about it.
The people of Charleston SC, N. Charleston SC and all the towns surrounding welcome the Boeing folks with open arms.
We do understand that the Boeing folks in Washington are not really pleased about this decision -- we would like for the folks out in Seattle, WA and Tacoma, WA to know that things in SC are not quite as bad as has been reported by some in your area. Here are a few things being said:
1) "A lot of restaurants in Charleston serve food on Styrofoam plates."
2) "People in Washington don't come as cheap as people in SC."
3) "The parts made in SC are often defective, requiring folks in
Washington to fix them."
Our answers to the Boeing folks:
1) We have some mighty fine restaurants in Charleston --they definitely don't use Styrofoam plates.
2) Maybe true, but I would say it a different way -- SC has excellent talent
3) N. Charleston SC mayor said it well: "none of the US surface ships that were built in N Charleston SC sunk " -- point well made.
So, again, Boeing, Welcome to N Charleston SC and its surrounding areas of Charleston, Mt Pleasant, Summerville, Goose Creek, Daniel Island, Isle of Palms, Folly Beach, James Island and Sullivan's Island.
Our weather is warm year round and so is our Southern hospitality -- you will see this for yourself when Boeing Comes to N Charleston SC.

The agent-owners have the utmost respect for him as does his management staff.

AgentOwned Realty is covering South Carolina real estate one town at a time. Whether you are selling, or buying our Realtors are the one. Also, we have a great home for you Realtors.
I grew up on a farm in Hampton County, SC, graduated from Estill High School and Winthrop College in 1962.
After finishing Winthrop, I went back to Estill High to teach high school math & physics -- this is where I met my husband, Boyd, and we married in 1963.
Boyd was born in Fairfax, SC, graduated Allendale-Fairfax High School and from Clemson University in 1962. He went back to him home to work in a company in which his father had been a partner. As I said we married in 1963 just in time for school to start.
After we were married, we moved to Clemson, SC where Boyd attended graduate school. He received his Master's in Math in 1965. I taught school in Liberty, SC while Boyd was in graduate school.
Then our next step was Virginia Tech where Boyd received a Ph.D. in Statistics in 1969. During our tenure at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, VA, I worked at home typing a text book for a Statistics Professor. Also, both of our children were born there - one 6 weeks after we got there and one 6 weeks before we left.
Then we moved back to Clemson where Boyd was a professor in Statistics. We were there for 2 years this time and then moved to Charleston (actually Mt. Pleasant) SC in August of 1970. We are still here. Here in Charleston, Boyd was a professor in the Biometry Department at the Medical University of South Carolina.
I spent my time trying to be a house wife while the children were small and not in school. What I discovered is the God did not put me here on this earth to be a "house wife" -- I am not good at it. I would find something else to do.
I started playing tennis and got to the point of playing once or twice a day -- I would always take the children with me and they would play with other children outside the tennis courts while we mothers played.
When the youngest child started to school, I got my real estate license.
I have been a real estate broker for 32 years in the Charleston, SC marketplace. Worked for Howell & Associates for 2 years (1976-1978), then opened The Liz Loadholt Co. with my husband, Boyd. Boyd was on the faculty at the Medical University of SC --he has his Ph.D. in Statistics from Virginia Tech. 1982 we purchased the Coldwell Banker franchise for the Charleston area and grew our company from 8 agents to 150 agents within a year.
We built the #1 real estate company in the Charleston market. In 1986 Coldwell Banker purchased our company from us and we began working for corporate Coldwell Banker.
In 1992 we resigned from Coldwell Banker and opened up The AgentOwned Realty 
Co.--- this is a concept of Boyd's and mine --- one where the sales associate owns 100% of the dividend stock of the company (Boyd & Liz maintained the voting stock).
Today in 2009, we have 14 offices (Isle of Palms, Mt. Pleasant, West of the Ashley, Summerville - Trolley Rd, Summerville - Main Street,North Charleston,Park Circle, Goose Creek, Moncks Corner, Santee, Manning, Wyboo,Sumter, Florence & Myrtle Beach) with approx. 450 sales associates.The Florence and Myrtle Beach offices have just opened (Feb. 2009 & March 2009 respectively).
I am in process of setting up a national broker-to-broker referral network even though I believe that referral networks are on their way out. Most buyers come from the Internet these days.
I write and teach continuing education courses for real estate in SC. Courses for which I am certified to teach (which were also written by me) are:
Boyd & I enjoy the state dance - the shag and we like to have a good time together.

Boyd & I have 2 children who are both involved in the real estate business with us and 3 grandchildren (16, 12, and 5) who can do no wrong. 
Our daughter Liza and husband, Art. Liza is the Director of Recruiting for AgentOwned Realty.
Claude, our son, runs The AgentOwned West Ashley operation.

I am an excellent broker ---- my agents refer to me as "Moma Liz" --- this does not mean that I am not strict ---- my agents walk the straight and narrow line --we make sure that the agents are doing the best for the public --- we also have a lot of fun. We are big supporters of the Mt. Pleasant recreation department, East Cooper Community Outreach, Habitat for Humanity, and Breast Cancer Research.
