Putting you picture next to article you write in your blog will help you create of image of expert in the real estate area. I really like WordPress as blog software because of all the free plugins you can use to customize your blog software. Let’s say you work with few other agents and have a team blog about real estate in your city. One of you is doing commercial and other agents residential. You want to have your name and picture next to your articles. Each time potential clients will read your articles they will see your photo and your name next to them. It is more efficient then regular advertising. And it doesn’t cost anything extra!
The plugin I used for displaying pictures is free. You can download it here or let us help you to set it up. This is another service we can provide.

The email notification plugin is provided for free by Watershred Studio.
