NC Realtors Who Blog David Recker

Today, NC Realtors Who Blog will be reviewing the blog of David Recker from Rocky Mount, NC. David publishes the Rocky Mount Real Estate Blog.

From Davids “About Statement”:
I am an experienced real estate professional that provides expert services to people who are buying and/or selling residential properties. I work hard to exceed the expectations of my clients and enjoy many referrals. Sellers - Contact me to learn how my strategic marketing plan and my expertise will successfully price, market and sell your home in a way that is convenient, simple and affordable to you! Buyers - Beat other homebuyers to the hottest new homes for sale…my clients are first to know when a new listing comes on the market that matches their criteria.

From all indications on his blog it appears that David started blogging in January 2009 and what I like is the fact that I see a blogging consistency since David began. It’s very important for a Realtor to blog on a regular basis. You never know who’s reading and who’s a fan. That one client may be reading and one day pick up the phone. It’s obvious to me that David understands the importance of regular fresh content.

One of David’s articles hit home with me. Home Fads that are falling out of style. This article mirrored my own personal feelings, so I immediately connected with David’s style. It’s very important for Realtors Who Blog to connect with their readers.

Since this is a review meant to be helpful, I felt that David could have tweaked the title of one of his posts a little. I almost skipped it due to it’s title.

8 No-Cost and Low-Cost Ways to Tweak Your Listings.

It felt like an article meant for Realtors when in fact it is a helpful homeowner tips sheet about low cost ways to help get your home sold.

David works for Remax and he has the standard links in the sidebar that will take you to his corporate site for listings, CMA’s and Featured homes.

David also writes for Ecanned.com. I found this link by visiting his profile page.

David’s articles are very helpful to prospective clients. I found his articles well written and full of information. David’s contact information is easily found. David also blogs on Active Rain. I’ve posted an article about Active Rain here on this site. Active Rain is great but I do warn of placing all of your eggs in the one proverbial basket. David’s outside blogs are a very good marketing strategy. I found a lot of good information from David on his active Rain site that I do not find on his Rocky Mount Blog.

Overall, I rate David’s Rocky Mount Blog an excellent start that should grow as David continues to write.

Since this is a review and meant to be helpful, I am making these observations:

  • Place more colorful graphics and pictures on the Rocky Mount blog. It helps to capture the readers attention.

    • A quick Google search for “David Recker Rocky Mount” reveals search engine listings for David. This is great if you are specifically searching for David’s name.

    David Recker on Google

    A quick search for “Rocky Mount Real Estate” shows approximately 6600 broad Google searches per month. I found David’s corporate site on the third page of Google for that term. That’s not bad, but I feel that David could make a lot more $$ by practicing some good SEO and working towards page 1 or 2.

    I always recommend that everyone, including Realtors, blog everywhere possible but realize that when you do, you do not actually own your own content. I recommend your own domain name and web hosting. Your blog is like real estate. You need to own it. I recommend a Wordpress Platform in addition to all other blogging platforms.

    Bottom Line: If I were searching for real estate in Rocky Mount, NC. I would give David Recker a call for sure. David C Recker, Associate Broker, Realtor ® licensed in North Carolina. Reach David at: 252-442-2687
