Don't Try to Sell Us ~ We HATE It

Community support. That’s what I focus on with my Facebook page, 365 Things to do in North County San Diego.

I started this project in April 2010 with the intention of showcasing the best of the best in our community. The idea stemmed from many other agents across the country who decided to take this wildly intense project on for their communities. Why? For the love of it!

Though, I have to be honest, there were  are times when I don’t love it that much. I said, I was going to be honest.

I am extremely passionate about North County. Born & raised in San Diego, I know it like the back of my hand. Supporting local business owners, sharing the hot spots, posting pictures from around town, sharing this knowledge with you makes me happy.

But you know what I will never do, sell you.

People hate to be sold. I hate to be sold. I’m sure you can only imagine how often I’m approached to post (sell) things on my FB page. People think of all sorts of cleaver ways to self-promote. The latest was a person attempting to befriend me only to find out they were looking for a way to get me to post about what they wanted to sell. Yeah, not cool.

The thing that bothers me most is their insincerity. Don’t pre-tend to care. People can smell it from a mile away. Funny thing is all this occurred over email & I could still sense their ulterior motive. We are smart, people. Don’t try to sell us, we hate it.

My promise to you is to share my knowledge of the area & keep you posted about what’s going on in North County because I care about this community. You’ll see that I do this with benevolence. For the last two years, not a single dollar has been made from this page.

Crazy right? People think I’m nuts to continue the project. I’m not giving up on it because I want to be recognized as someone who cares about North County & in return I hope that you will see that I am a great real estate agent who is a valuable resource to this community.
