Jim,

Thanks again for being wthe single most positive impact on my real estate career.

I generate at least 90% of all my business from the blog. It’s amazing.

Jim,

I can honestly say that my blog with a huge amount of thanks to you and your staff has brought me a ton of business in some really neat and unusual ways. I couldn’t be more pleased or happier with my Front Porch View Blog. I am very proud of it, and will continue to work hard on it.

I have gone from just getting by to thriving in a shifting market mostly due in part to blogging and the exceptional training that I received from your team. I closed 2 transactions last month and have one to close this week as a direct result from those who found trust in me through reading my blog. I have to be honest with you, I just recently much to my disappointment purchased an additional “traditional” website thinking I needed one. Boy was I wrong. The RET has helped catapult me to the front pages of Google for many popular search phrases. My ONLY expense outside of time and my initial purchase to obtain these heavily sought after results has been absolutely ZERO…nada…..zilch!

To anyone reading this: IT WILL BE THE BEST THING YOU HAVE DONE FOR YOUR BUSINESS if you commit and work hard and put to practice all that they will teach you. I know it seems that I might have gone over the top, but that is the least that I could do for them since they did it for me! You will not be disappointed.

Jim,

I just want you to know how much I enjoy being part of the RE Tomato. I’m almost done with my training with Justin which has been first class. Working with Chris and Kenny during the first few months was an outstanding experience for me as well.  I’m very excited about what I think it is going to do for me both personally and professionally.

At this point, I can’t imagine an exit strategy.  I think I’ve become a blogging and social media addict; it’s almost hard for me not to write something 4 or 5 times a week.  My issue, is that I have too much to write about; never a shortage of ideas.

And of course, it is very motivating to continue blogging since I’m getting more leads than ever.   Many of which come from my blogging.  I feel blessed that in the weird economy; I have no shortage of leads to continue to follow up on.

I just wanted to say “Thank you” for everything you and The Real Estate Tomato have done for my business!

There is no way we would be enjoying the success we have had without your training.

I highly recommend Jim and the entire Real Estate Tomato team to any real estate agent looking to add blogging to their business model. They will walk you through the entire process to achieve a superb design and an excellent education.

Jim and the Tomato Team,

We are thrilled at the absolutely beautiful job you and the team have done in taking our blog site to a whole new level.

We really can’t say enough about the level of excellence you all have put into our blog site. From the recrafted design (which we all think is stunning), to the attention to detail, to the level of professionalism and subject matter knowledge, to the responsiveness of your team..the whole package has been superb. We also appreciate the emphasis on really educating and  empowering your clients. This is what really great organizations do.

On top of it all, you and your team are great fun to work with! (Kenny, Chris H., and the team …all just terrific).

Anyone who is looking for a great blog would be well advised to look carefully at the incredible track record of Real Estate Tomato. You all are the best in the business!

Many thanks for a job more than well done!

I feel like I’m a Tomato groupie!

Have to remind you I am 2 months into my Tomato training and I can affirm just how great they are. It is almost amazing to be a couple of months into a relationship with a ‘vendor’ and they still treat you like you are a potential customer, even though you have signed on the dotted line. WOW!

Today, I’m happier with my decision to join the Tomato Nation that when I first signed up (and I was elated back then). My only regret is that I didn’t sign up months (or years) earlier.

With any other web site, you pay, you get a design, and then you’re off on your own. With Jim and his team, it’s such a well-organized, finely tuned process that it’s now so obvious why the Tomato Nation has become the cream of real estate’s blogging crop.

I REALLY appreciate all the advice, suggestions, patience, encouragement and hand-holding. Plus the professionalism, reliability and responsiveness.

As you might be able to tell, I’m in a bit of a euphoric state right now. I feel like I now have a solid blogging foundation and a good understanding of how this whole blogosphere thing works – something that I’m sure 99.8% of my colleagues will never enjoy.

So thanks Jim, Chris, Justin, Richard and the rest of the people behind the scenes who I’ve never “met.” You’ve developed a one-of-a-kind product and system — worth every penny of it and then some!

Jim

Thanks to you and your staff I have been able to cut way back on my farming and other outside advertising and focus mainly on my online marketing. I’m finding the blog leads to be far better (more in line with the clients I love to work with) and a much higher price point. I feel I can pinpoint my niche market so much better with blogging instead of throwing the net far and wide as with print and direct mail marketing.

Many thanks to you for your help, intense education and wonderful support. Looking forward to a great tomato blogging future!

Jim & Gang,

It’s just a couple months into my official training with www.PinellasPeach.com and in the last 24 hours I got TWO fantastic buyer leads - and one’s already a definite client. The price points are higher than I usually receive as well! As an extra added bonus, I got a third great buyer lead today from Trulia, which is also at a high price-point and is already converted. I simply answered a question for a Trulia reader. You might ask what this has to do with the Tomato? Well, I learned about responding to Trulia ads in the course doing my Real Estate Tomato homework - and the fact that I have The Peach plastered all over my Trulia responses I’m sure didn’t hurt.

Who knew lead conversion could be so fun - and easy?!

Thank you immensely!

Jim,

My head is reeling from how much business this blog is generating for me. At least 5 real deals this year so far. It has been amazing!

Thanks,

Lori Turoff

(And this just in from Lori)

Hi Jim,

I hope you are well. I just wanted to tell you that on Monday I will be listing a $729,900 property that 100% came from my blog. The owners are avid readers and “commentors”. I emailed one of them to let her know I was, in fact, a Realtor and would be happy to help her sell her home. I could not have a more dedicated client. They have so much confidence in me because of what they’ve learned about me by reading my blog every day.

Last month it was just a $355,000 listing, which sold in 2 weeks. This month it’s a $729K listing. That doesn’t include at least 4 new buyers. All DIRECTLY from my blog. A million dollar of business – that’s a nice commission. Pays for a Tomato!

You have no idea how well this is working for me so I thought I’d share.

THANK YOU!!!!

I really can’t say enough about Jim and the whole crew at The Tomato. Being new to the blogosphere I really had no idea what to expect. From day one they were honest about what it takes to be successful and were clearly there to show me the way.

Nikki and I are so pleased with the look, feel and functionality of the site. Most impressive, however was the training. It was well thought out and directed, yet still allowed time to focus on areas of concern I had at the given time. I can’t imagine getting up to speed without them. Thanks for all of your efforts and guidance!

Jim,

Right now I have so much business that I can hardly keep up with it. I literally am having a hard time juggling the people who want to list or buy. I had a pretty good referral business already but the blog has definitely added to it. I don’t do mail outs, or phone calls at all. I do 100% referral and it is exploding. Most of it is from people who read my blog and tell their friends to call.

Jim and Gang,

It was worth every penny for the training that came with my custom blogsite AND it gets me more Google juice than any other Internet presence I have now, or ever had.  I am not sure if that’s because of hosting by RET or if it’s due to the training I got from them.   It has more than paid for itself in the first transaction - the best marketing investment I ever made. In fact, it’s yielded more closed transactions than all other sources together in my whole career!!

AND…. (drum roll please) As of today, Focus on Crofton is now on page one of a Google for Crofton Maryland real estate - from about page 18 or so…all in less than 3 months from launch.  (Update: I am now #2!)

YOU are the best!
THANK YOU!
Fast service, perfect results, what more could I ask for?
You’re awesome.

I get feedback. I get at least one email a day just to thank me for what I’m doing. I can’t go anywhere in my market area without having total strangers tell me they’ve read me, and will use me “someday”. I’m getting referrals from TOTAL Strangers who read me, and tell someone at work to read me. They call and say someone sent me to your site, and I have no clue who it is that sent them.

EVERY one of my last 15 new listings were “come list my house” calls. EVERY other thing I do that’s not on the internet is only geared at driving traffic to the blog. I have 2 listing in escrow that I’m on both sides of. They didn’t even want to see any listings other than mine.

I spend about 2 hours total a day “doing the blog” .. that’s what JJ calls it. “Did you do your blog yet?” I aim for and have with rare exceptions done 3 to 4 posts a day for a year now. I rarely ever write long posts. EVERY one of my last 15 new listings were “come list my house” calls.

And Jim and the Tomatoes taught me so much, and fixed or straightened out or re-educated me about what I had been doing wrong.

March 5 will be the one year anniversary of http://www.veryvintagevegas.com Without having started to blog then, I think I’d be managing a Burger King about now.

**Update: 12/24/08 - PS, I’m busier than all crap and ALL the business is coming from the blog. I’ve dropped EVERY other type of marketing, and the leads just keep coming, and they’re buying!**

**Update 4/8/09 -  Want you to know that VeryVintageVegas.com is still a huge hit, keeps on growing, continues to improve….. and it’s bringing in WAY MORE leads than I can handle.

WOW. . .what a trip, from green on the vine to a ribbon at the fair, the “St. Louis Real Estate” fair, no less.

Our blogging experiment started with a lot of research on the web that, fortunately for us, found it’s way to a blogging zealot named Jim Cronin at the “Real Estate Tomato”. My first impression was that he was a fast talking guy with all the answers, I was soon to find out that he was a fast talking guy with all the answers and MORE.

The trip was everything that Jim said it would be and he supplied the encouragement when we thought we were wasting our time and not making any progress. We wanted our blog to provide timely and useful information for consumers across the entire St. Louis real estate spectrum. We started posting in March and really struggled through the first 4 months. Then we started making progress in some of the minor keyword searches. . . but we wanted the whole enchilada� tomato. . . St. Louis Real Estate.

Holy Tomato, sometime in early November we were page ranked in Google (four out of ten) and recently are page one, number four, when searching “St Louis Real Estate” using Google.

Our sincere thanks to Jim Cronin and the Tomato Team for coming through with everything they promised and MORE. Thanks Jim, Jason and Molly and the� entire team for helping us stay the course and giving us the tools and encouragement along the way.

Since my days with Tomato, I have had an incredible run on visibility both by clients, the media and the Internet. A website that I’ve had for over 5 years took about 4 years to reach a Google pagerank of 2 and once I had my blog site at Sacramento Real Estate Voice, within just a few months I received a Google pagerank of 3 for my stagnate website.

My blog site only took about 3-4 months and I quickly received a 5 page rank with Google. Absolutely amazing! SacramentoRealEstateVoice has also climbed into uncharted waters by making it onto the first page on Google for Sacramento Real Estate. Along with the ranking, I would say that it took about 6 months of blogging when suddenly I started receiving calls from prospective clients and the news media as well as radio. It has been steady but then again so has my blogging. I just don’t have enough hours in the day to write everything I would like.

My clients have each said when they call that they have been reading my blog for some time and got to know me. It should be noted, however that they never commented. All of this takes time.

Tomato and his team have been diligent and helpful in providing me the initial blogging education and further helping me to be the best that I can be…I am a work in progress.

Thank you Tomato and the artful team!

(The following is an excerpt from a response to an email that was sent from a prospect to current client, Kevin Schmidtchen, regarding his experience with the RET)

The Real Estate Tomato taught me almost everything I know about blogging and the rewards that this creates for you as an agent. Well worth it. I had a website beforehand that was doing OK and still does OK, but my blog does better for sure in bringing traffic and ultimately business. I simply stumbled upon them and chose them because I was looking for this and timing was right. They fit what I was looking and hoping for and yes it worked out great.

I would for sure use them again, everything is great and there has been zero negatives. They are a good group of guys working hard and wanting to help you with your business. As far as the investment goes, yes I have 100% covered my investment and then some big time in my eyes. So even though it is initial $$$ that can be tough based on where you are at, I would say that I regained this all within 6 months and have continued to build and now have a great working tool that is relatively free and makes me good money.

“Jim has put together a class act team of professionals at Real Estate Tomato. Having Blogged about Columbus Area Real Estate for years without much to show for it, I asked Jim if his company could help me redesign and invigorate my blog.

They responded with a quality product at a reasonable cost and have continued to provide excellent resources and mentorship now that it’s up and running.

I would recommend Jim’s work to any one ready to establish or kick up their web presence a notch.”

I love the Tomato heads! The training that I am getting from them is invaluable to me. I debated a while before I took the leap- but I’m so glad I did. It’s personal and professional and right on the mark!

What you learn from them is leaps and bounds beyond anything in the epro class or any other real estate class for that matter. Their training was well worth the money and more extensive than anything I’ve ever taken for CE credit.

I’m still going thru training with realestatetomato- but I’ve gotten a new buyer from them. It’s been about 3 weeks since I’ve started posting. Which is really good for me. I love my blog and I’m having such fun blogging. I haven’t been this excited about real estate….well since never.

Just typed “Heritage Wake Forest” into Google and about fell out of my chair when I saw the second article I wrote about this hot neighborhood at the bottom of the first page!!! Composed myself, saw the words “two hours ago” at the end of the post, almost fell out of chair again. I posted this at 4:33 pm and did the search at 8:30 pm.

I can tell you that people will very likely use this term to search in this neighborhood.

I’m continuing to show up for more and more search terms. Can’t believe the speed at which this is happening.

Jim set up my new blog and when I say new I mean new (just a week old) I am not technically savvy or internet savvy. I had just been struggling along trying to figure out what I could on my own.

Jim, is the most patient and knowledgeable teacher and coach I have ever had! My blog is already successful - The biggest blogger in my area is linking to my new stories everyday. He got 11 comments on my post about needing a dog park in my town! This morning the big blogger guy in my town linked to my scary Halloween Real Estate Story and so far someone already left a comment. I did not expect to have any comments or activity for a long time.

Jim has helped me look like a Pro (and believe me I am not!- hardly have a clue what I am doing) He not only knows how to teach, he knows how to teach Real Estate Agents (Very Difficult to Do!)

Jim and Jason have made the learning curve painless and fun so that I can spend my time writing blogs and selling real estate instead of trying to figure out how to tweak my back end (of the blog). =) I’ve read several books on blogging but your your tips, tricks and ideas have been priceless.

We utilize several sites and none are more effective at generating organic leads better than our site constructed and trained with Jim and his Tomato team. While I caution nothing comes free in life, to maximize a blogs effectiveness, it does take a commitment to be done correctly. In other words, it is not a plug and go site, but if you want to stand out and

differentiate yourself, I highly urge you to talk to the knowledgeable and friendly folks at the Tomato. In an industry full of over promises and under delivery, our hats are off to the Tomato for delivering what they preach, deliver and definitely understand.

JOB WELL DONE TOMATO!

Finally, The Real Estate Tomato is spreading the spaghetti sauce: Jim Cronin has started TomatoBlogs.com, a turn-key real estate weblog vendor. Pre-launch blogs: The Realty Doctor, The Silver Bee and Sacramento Real Estate Voice. All WordPress, and it looks like the Tomato might be hosting them. I’m not the product endorsing type, but I have a great admiration for what Jim has done with The Real Estate Tomato. If you’re an agent or other real estate professional looking for a weblogging solution, TomatoBlogs.com looks like a good place to start.

Jim Cronin is an excellent teacher and The Real Estate Tomato is an excellent teaching web site.

Update:

Here’s the undisputed truth: The weblogs you are producing are beautiful. Up to the owners to rate you on performance, but for look and feel, TomatoBlogs are beyond excellent. So there!

Hi Jim,

I wanted to drop you a quick note of thanks. I finally reached the end of my Tomato training and obtained the coveted “tomato-graduate” chiclet. It’s a great sense of accomplishment, sort of surprising actually as I didn’t expect to feel so “graduate-like”. I mean, dang, isn’t this just a service I signed up for to improve my web presence? Of course now, I can say the answer to that is a resounding “NO” even hell-no.

I’ve always been a believer in web-based marketing, etc. I really sort of happened upon your site while trying to figure out the blog stuff - like what is a blog, what does it do, etc. I perused your site and things started clicking. I was seeing things that began to help me start gelling some thoughts that were floating around. Filling out your inquiry form was a version of a leap of faith. I tend to be quite cynical of these and expected to get a call from yet another person trying to sell me services that are the “magic formula” for generating real estate success.

After our first conversation I was sold. You didn’t give me the hard sell, didn’t make a lot of crazy claims, didn’t even use any of the typical “closes”. We spoke again the next day, and though I was committing more money than I ever had to any single thing in my real estate business to date, I felt completely at ease with my decision. (still do for that matter)

I was a little concerned when I found out I was not going to be working directly with you, but Chris has been outstanding. I have graduated with a tremendous amount of knowledge about blogging, marketing, etc. Way more than I expected….I really didn’t expect to learn this so completely. You guys have taught me an incredible amount, and given me the tools to keep growing.

So, Jim, an HUGE thank you to you and the entire Tomato staff. I’m still completely pumped about this maybe even more so than after our first conversation. I hope to continue learning and growing in this endeavor, and hope to stay in touch with you guys so you can proudly say, one day, “there’s one of our prize students…”

If you ever need to use me as a referral to someone considering your services….feel free to give them my contact info…

Jim is hands down one of the brightest minds in Real Estate marketing. His reach on the Tomato is far and wide.  The audience he has been able to build in such a short time is simply amazing.  The best quality I can see in Jim is his unique ability to communicate complex marketing concepts and techniques to an average REALTOR without making them feel inferior.  In fact, Jim has quietly started a revolution of empowerment for real estate professionals that will effect the industry for a long time.  (From his LinkedIn Recommendation)

After listening to Jim for five minutes, I knew he and his organization were the ONLY ones to hire to help create my blog and take my business to the next level. After just a few months, I know I made the right decision.

I first encountered Jim Cronin through the Real Estate Blogging Platform, ActiveRain.  It amazed me how many people there were self-proclaimed experts/gurus on one thing or another.  But in reading Jim’s articles, I knew I had come across the real deal - someone who actually knew what they were talking about intimately.  It was clear that Jim fully grasped what constituted effective realty blogging and utilizing Web 2.0 for business applications.  As I come across blogging platforms that his team has constructed, his obvious expertise has been proven over and over again.

Guys,

I just got my first phone call, “I read your blog and I want you to come list my house.”

I almost passed out but maintained my composure!
