Wednesday Webcasts: Bostonist Rates Boston Realty News

realty.jpgBusiness podcasts are different from podcasts put out by your everyday person. Companies put time and effort in to podcasting to attract attention and bring more business to the table. Blogging has been doing the same thing for businesses for three or four years now. Just as blogging taught business that you need to bring interesting content to reader podcast listeners demand the same level of quality.

Boston Realty News is a blog that just started to podcast recently. Realty companies are a great example of businesses that should podcast as they are untrustworthy to begin with. To often you feel the pressure to buy from a realtor just looking to get rid of the property and get a nice fat commission check. The Boston Realty News does not take this opportunity to open up and show people that they are not just out for profit. Instead they have been podcasting realty listings. If done correctly this might even been interesting but instead it's one of the most boring podcasts Bostonist has listened to.

Clocking in at just under ten minutes this podcasts can't be covering that much ground. In a city the size of Boston it should take an extremely long time to read all the listings. Who would really want to listen to listings that are just read aloud not to mention listing that are not even complete? Buying a house is a very personal experience and can get very specific depending on where you want to live and the price you want to pay. If you are looking to buy there is little chance this podcast will be very helpful. Bostonist hopes that Boston Realty News finds new ways to bring better information to the public instead of just reading to them. Bostonist learned how to read years ago and doesn't really need help.

  • Yes it’s definitely a good post, very useful information to consider.

    We would be honored if we could be added to this business blogger. We are from the World Business for sale is the leading independent businesses for sale listing service http://www.worldbusinessforsale.com/

  • I'm so glad you will be making it more then exciting! I look forward for more help finding a good place to live come this summer.

    I agree that Realty companies are just good people like you and me. I do think that many people have a bad view of the industry just like car sales people and lawyers (sorry josh!).

    Podcasting (as well as blogging) is a great way to break down barriers with people who already have a poor view of your industry.

  • Thanks very much for the review and the critique. You are right! BostonRealtyNews.com produces a very boring podcast. We are in the process of hiring someone with a great voice, and an upbeat personality to podcast the daily real estate news. Stay Tuned.

    Boston Realty News.com is an independent real estate news site that invites real estate professionals, agents , brokers , home inspectors , real estate attorneys and consumers to submit articles concerning realty news. Articles may be submitted to aribenharav@gmail.com. BostonRealtyNews.com accepts paid advertisements , links and articles of interest concerning anything real estate related. BostonReatyNews.com is not a real estate company although many of the contributors are practicing real estate professionals.

    I disagree with your opinion of real estate companies. Like 90% of the rest of the world, real estate companies are made up of honest, hardworking individuals. Although there are bad apples in every barrel, painting all real estate companies with such a broad negative brush is unbecoming of the author and demeans the ability of the audience to judge .

    In my opinion, it would be better to provide anectodal or empirical evidence about such experiences and then let the readers decide.

    Best wishes for continued blog success ,
