The Dunn Team's Real Estate Blog

Blogging has become the new medium for so many businesses, including Real Estate. And now you see us starting our own Real Estate blog. But we are not simply jumping on the bandwagon. There are several reasons we decided to start our own blog, here are just a few:

1. We love writing, learning and educating! Blogging will provide a chance for us to do all three!
2. It is the perfect way for you to get to know us better without the fear that we will try to "sell you something"! That way you can decide before we ever talk if we are the right fit for you!
3. The lifeline of any business is marketing, getting your name "out there". In Real Estate there are many ways to do that, and we have tried them all. None of them seem to fit us, we always felt we were not being true to ourselves. This blog will allow us to put our name out there in a way that is true to who we are.

 Essentially, a blog can create a much more effective web presence than a simple website alone due to the constantly changing content, updates, and keywords. Therefore, we have done away with our costly and pointless business website, and will focus on maintaining our blog with Real Estate facts and news that will educate you, cute and funny stories that will entertain you, and updates that will effect you.

We won't, however, have an MLS search on our blog for several reasons:

• There are a million places you can search for homes on the internet without giving out your information. When you search for homes on a specific agent's website, that agent "captures" your information and uses it to try on "convert" you into a client. (All "quotation marks" are terms we REALTORS are taught to use when learning our internet marketing.)
• We tried that approach and failed miserably,  probably due to the fact we were extremely uncomfortable with the dishonest approach of "capturing" people's information. We do much better when we earn our clients through hard work and integrity.
• Initially, most people want to search for homes on their own in the comfort and privacy of their own homes without being hounded by sales people to choose them. Therefore, we will show you where to search anonymously if you don't already know how (see links on the right, updated regularly). Then, when you are ready to start working with an agent or start finding more specific listings, you can make the first contact. Of course, we hope it will be with us, but if not, that's OK!

• The searched you find on various websites are quite generic. But when you are first starting your search, that is plenty! If and when you desire a more personal and specific search, we can provide you with a custom MLS search that updates nightly and delivers all the matching homes to either your email inbox or a customized website where you can add notes to each listing and sort them by preference!

With all that in mind, we hope to produce an interesting, informative Real Estate blog for you full of local information about the real estate industry in Acworth, Dallas, Kennesaw and surrounding areas as well as defining information about who we are and how we work so you can know if we are the right agents for you.

This will, of course, be a learning process, so it will take time to build. Therefore, we hope you will check in often to see what's new!
