It did not sell, and I was very surprised by that piece of misninformation. I have it listed now and felt very badly that I hadn't offered to help him earlier when I thought it was sold. I'm sure someone on this blog said it sold FSBO. Actually, the blog led people, even me, to think Dustin’s home was sold. It did not sell, and I was very surprised by that piece of misninformation.

Then if the buyer doesn't want those, begins to think about which homes would best suit this particular buyer. Clearly that is not the way I work, or would want an agent who is working for me to work. Pushing your listings on your blog, is the same as pushing your listings on buyers, just because they are yours. Websites are for advertising your listings, not your blog. It's silly anyway, given the ephemeral nature of the blog. It's even almost "illegal" as the listing stays on the blog after it is sold, as an old post in the archive. So you end up advertising a sold listing, which is a no, no. Anyway you look at it, there ARE clear differences between a blog and a website and Dustin's view is more right on than you give him credit for. Rudy,
