Could someone point me in the right direction for some advice on writing a bio for a website?
I've only been in the business for 1.5 years and I've only been in the country for 3 years. What should I focus on as I obviously don't have a whole lot of experience and I have little local knowledge.
Please help.
Thanks

Check this blog out by Jennifer Allan. Though it's about a profile on Active Rain, it's basically the same thing as your bio. You should get some good tips there.

When it comes to your experience, draw on your office instead.

"Office Name" has helped hundreds of clients sell their homes in the past year and I can help you too.

Or something like that.

The bio should simply reflect who you are. Most of your clients will never read it. And if they do, you want them to see that it's the real you.

Some agents are successful with very homey and personal bios... talking about their pets and their kids. Others prefer to use an almost resume-like list of dates and accomplishments.

Just be you. Are you the friendly neighbor agent who will bake chocolate cookies to serve at open houses? Or are you the accountant type with years in the mortgage industry who will assist with all the financial details?

The big thing I'd recommend for ANY agent is to have someone PROOF-READ their bio, their web site, and any materials they prepare such as flyers, marketing brochures, etc. There's nothing that turns me off more quickly to ANY business than typos, spelling errors, and poor grammar.
