I am going to let you in on a little secret. I have been looking for my Active Rain Profile on the 50 Google pages...Nothing. My IDX site was on page 5 of Google. I started playing around with my Active Rain profile to see if I could even get it in the 50 pages of Google. I added my cities to my introduction...Nothing. I added it many more times to other sections...Nothing. I added my areas to my first and last name field...BINGO. It turns out that these are the KeyWord Meta-Tags that Google uses to see where your profile should be placed. I now fluctuate between page 3 in the morning to the #1 or #2 spot on page 1 by around 3-4pm. This is probably because I post late at night and by the morning the East Coast AR members start reading my Blogs. By late afternoon...I am usually #1 or #2 on page 1. This is just a guess. I will take the #1 spot for half of the day! I will post another tip in the next day or two.

Your REALTOR serving: Hacienda Heights, Downey, Whittier, and Pico Rivera,CA. What is my home worth?
I would like to personally thank Active Rain for helping me become the #1 search option for my region (Hacienda Heights, Ca.). Many Google "SEO" companies wanted to charge me $200 plus a month to get me to the first page of Google within less than a year. Active rain got me there for FREE.
Helpful Tips:
1. Always blog often. Google wants your profile info to have new and fresh content (i.e. you are blogging often)
2. Don't forget to provide key word tags for your blogs (the more the better).
3. Post those blogs to your Localism subdivision. (For example-California-Los Angeles County-Downey-Northwest) It will be listed in each subdivision.
4. Create quality posts to get featured, you are pretty much guaranteed lots and lots of hits (can you say FREE Google juice?).
5. List your areas as part of your signature so that you will always have hits (searches) that correspond to your areas.
I am absolutely sure that there are probably many, many, more ways to be #1 in the Google searches. Please share them with me and others so that AR Members can stay on top! Thank all of you for teaching me how to do the same.

#7 Be Discreet: Marked by exercising, or showing prudence and wise self-restraint.
The House Warming:
After the sale is over and we have been PAID comes the house warming party and the chance to Prospect your Buyer's ENTIRE Sphere of Influence. Your Client already knows that you are the GREATEST Realtor in your area (otherwise they would have gone with the other guy) and has, likely, at your suggestion...mentioned you to everyone that she/he knows.
Realtors Beware:
Be careful to discuss with your Buyer whether it is okay for you to discuss very personal details such as purchase price and/or monthly payments.
Bragging Rights?
Even though you may have gotten your Buyer deal of a lifetime, some people just are very personal/private about financial matters. In order to avoid a strained relationship, talk about this ahead of time. Most of the time the Buyers are fine with sharing the information to help you get new clients and they will respect you more for asking them in advance!
I Invite You:
This is #7 of a series of 150 Great Traits for Realtors. I will post a new post every 1-5 days. Your input is what will make this series work. Thanks for subscribing and for your comments.

Proudly Serving (CA)-HACIENDA HEIGHTS, DOWNEY (North- East/West), WHITTIER (Friendly Hills, Mar Vista Heights, East Whittier, Michigan Park & Spyglass) and PICO RIVERA.
When you ask my wife to describe me, the first two words that come out of her mouth are honest and hard working. My motto in life is "do to others, what you want done to you." That being said, I am responsible and I do what I say I am going to do. No gimmicks or excuses. If I am wrong, I will be the first to admit it.
I am an anti-salesman. I do NOT sell. I inform my Clients of their options and then I let them decide when they are ready to buy or sell. After working with me, I know that you will be able to refer me to your friends and family without hesitation.
My key skills as a Listing Agent are negotiating, marketing, and pricing. Your agent should do more than simply placing your property information in the MLS. They should actively market to other Agents, offices, and Brokers who are actively working with Buyers. They also must be tech-savvy. Virtual Tour
I will do the following things:
1. I will have a regular communication schedule (weekly or biweekly) to provide regular Buyer feedback.
2. I will send copies of ALL ads and marketing materials.
3. I will make you a part of the process (input is welcome and accepted)
4. I will NOT Disappear.
5. I will get the Highest and Best home price in the shortest possible time.

My key qualities are that I do my homework, I know my contracts, and I am a great negotiator. Most money is saved/lost during the Buyer's contract offer. A great Agent does NOT concede every little detail of the transaction to get the sale. Each "detail" can cost anywhere between $50 to $6,000. Are you ready to save some money?
I will do the following things:
1. If I am not available, I will return your phone calls quickly/promptly.
2. I will give you prices for comparable (comps) properties.
3. I will show you ONLY properties that fit what you are looking for.
4. I will let you know FIRST when any great deals come up.
5. I will negotiate the best possible deal on your behalf.
