Ok\u2026In my last post<\/a> I set today as my personal deadline for posting part 2 of 365 in my Mega Monster Broker Blog Experiment\u2026.<\/p>\n

So here we go.<\/p>\n

But first things first.<\/p>\n

Nobody reached out and volunteered to pay me the big bucks….<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bummer. But don\u2019t cry for me. Rejection has forced the establishment of a model for this thing that might actually allow for the accomplishment of the holy grail in Real Estate blogging.<\/p>\n

Yep. I think I may have actually figured out a way to get a large group of agents consistently blogging! And of course, the local broker pimp is nowhere to be found in this wicked little piece of innovation\u2026  <\/p>\n

Fun Digression<\/h2>\n

I realize that my warnings that this would be a costly venture probably scared a lot of BHB readers from getting in touch with me, but I was surprised that none of these York Pa Area brokerages<\/a> even responded to my emailed offers to talk to them about proceeding with this project locally.  Even those recruiting fiends at KW didn\u2019t respond to try to land me as an agent. (Ouch!)<\/p>\n

My response? A Well Meaning “You Still Check Your Email Guys?”<\/p>\n

And a\u2026<\/p>\n

if you didn’t respond because you don’t see the value in the idea…<\/p>\n

Proceeding Without A Broker…<\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s the thinking: Since I haven\u2019t been picked up by one brokerage, I\u2019m free to recruit agent contributor\u2019s from amongst any of the thousands currently practicing in the CentralPa region, right?  And with no interloping brokers there will be more left on the table for the agent contributor\u2019s, right? I think so\u2026<\/p>\n

So HeyCentralPa.Com<\/a> will be exactly what I said it would be a few days ago \u2013 A monster online publication written and sustained by a cooperative group of real estate agents looking to farm individual neighborhoods or niches by blowing the local chunks. The only difference \u2013 these agents won\u2019t all come from the same office, and no one broker will benefit from the blood sweat and tears of their content contributions.  Instead, HeyCentralPa.Com will run as a cooperative, with all agent partners receiving their fair share Read more<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
