Create a Truilia.com profile for free.
I created a profile on Trulia.com check it out here. If you haven't had a chance to update your profile you should, it took me a total of 10 minutes over the weekend. You can post links to your website and blog, give background info, upload a photo, and more. They (Trulia) have a section on their web site called Trulia Voices. Buyers and sellers ask questions and you can offer your advise and opinions. There is also an Agent to Agent section where you can discuss topics with agents in your area or across the country on a variety of topics. They even have a badge/graphic you can post on your blog/web site that links directly to your profile, just like the one I have posted on this blog on the right bar. Best of all it is free.
This would be another way you can get your name out there and establish yourself as a Real Estate expert in your area. You should check it out.

I think it's really important that Assist-2-Sell franchisees fully embrace Trulia because it is fast becoming one of the leading real estate Web sites. In addition to providing home shoppers with a vast selection of listings, they allow home buyers and sellers to search for real estate "experts."
Trulia Voices is a great example of a "social networking site." But a quick search of Trulia Voices shows that it is dominated by "traditional" real estate brokers and agents. Many use questions about commissions as an opportunity to harshly criticize "discounters." Their biggest argument is one we've all heard before: You get what you pay for.
Assist-2-Sell franchisees have a real opportunity to join the conversation and make their viewpoints known. If you see an opportunity to highlight the benefits of working with Assist-2-Sell, take it. You should also answer questions unrelated to commissions to position yourself as a real estate expert. Just remember to remain professional and don't let the "trads" provoke you. And aim for a "soft" sell. You want to provide consumers with valuable information in the hopes they will turn to you when it is time to buy or sell.
