Mother Lode Real Estate "Must Reads" for April

This blog post is the sixth in a continuing monthly series where I'll pass on some information of interest that you may not get the opportunity to see otherwise. It won't take you long to check out the two articles and 1 video below where you'll find just a whole lot of great discussion on real estate and the use of social media in real estate and more. All worth your while I'm convinced. (The fourth article is just for fun.)

Selling Your Home Using Twitter from The Real Estate Bloggers. Interesting take on how to harness the hottest social media tool going in the process of marketing real estate.

Negotiation Tips for the Obscenely Timid Agent from The Real Estate Marketing Blog. Six fundamentals to master in the negotiating process. A good read for even the most outgoing and confident professional.

The Death of the Old School Realtor from GeekEstate blog. If anything, you need to watch this video just to hear the context of the statement: "This is a crappy time to be a crappy realtor." Beyond that, it's a must see (in my mind) for any agent who wants to give themselves a fighting chance of staying in the business in the future. "Don't be everything to everybody; Be something to somebody." (Approximate running time: 36 minutes)

What Does One Trillion Dollars Look Like? If you haven't had the chance to see this yet, it's really eye-opening (or should I say, "eye-popping"?).
