The constant thought and research to provide value to your followers is huge. As soon as you invest less energy the community will notice and ask in public what has changed. It is kind of similar if you could imagine to being a politician or celebrity as you are recognized at the grocery store, bank, park and at your kids school. It really helps to bring real value to the community through local news/ insights and definitely helps when you are trying to spread the word on a house.” say Traverse City Area Realtor Amber Cyman.
