Consumers today are demanding more and more transparency in every purchase they make. As a real estate professional you have a great chance to attract new clients simply by sharing all of the great relationships you have with your clients.

4 Simple Signs of a Stroke

Ping.fm makes the WAV Group blog life easier

Historically I have been somewhat descriminating about where I announce blog posts at https://www.wavgroup.com At times, I would twitter the post, at other times, I would also post a link to my facebook friends.  For some reason, I always neglect linkedin and plaxo.  Those four combine to create the ecosystem of my online social life.  I have some other social networks that I have registered for research purposes, like myspace, brightkite, loopt, hi5 and probably some more that I have forgotten about. What I found was that the effort to publish a link for each blog post on so many sites [...]
