As many of you know, we are re-introducing ourselves to our home-town market, Philadelphia. Before we left, we were focused, primarily, in professions other than real estate. Real estate was our 'side gig'.

After 3 years in FL, we had a presence of some sort, within the real estate community. We knew most of the big players, which permitted us access to better deals and some of the best team players (agents, bankers, lenders, title companies, appraisers, etc.). I'll admit it....we get special treatment. :)

I recognize that we will need to prove ourselves in this market and that nothing replaces performance but, without meaning to sound impatient, I don't want to wait 3 years to 'get our name out' in the Philadelphia Real Estate market.

Which leads me to the question......how does one get their name 'out there'. Aside from networking (which we are doing almost daily), what other creative suggestions might you folks have for creating a 'buzz' about town?

I have been searching online and found this link, which I think might be a start. The focus of this write-up is online but I would like to consider all options. I would think this might be useful in almost any business - real estate, banking, insurance, law, CPAs, etc.

Any ideas?
