Yes & I think it is also good for us to up our game & continue to offer cutting edge marketing & real estate news. I think that blogging makes us aware of certain trends way .... way ... ahead of the other agents.

Yes - most definitely.  As you mentioned in your recent post - if we do a good job for clients they will remember us and repeat and refer business.  

By offline do you mean be available in a brick and mortar? I know you are not referring to throwing parties
