UPDATE: Brokerlab has been replaced by LeadPress, which now offers FREE Mortgage Blogs.
While Realtors have done a great job of building communities and leveraging blogs to market, learn and connect, mortgage bloggers seem to exist in much smaller numbers. I’m proud to announce the launch of Brokerlab.com beta, the first in a handful of launches that I will be announcing in the coming months, with the goal of providing tools, education, and networking opportunities for mortgage and industry professionals. Please take a look around and give us any feedback you have, we are still in beta, so if you see any bugs, let us know!
From Brokerlab.com: “Brokerlab.com is a free blog hosting service that enables Mortgage, Real Estate, and Financial Professionals to easily set up their own blogs in minutes with no technical know how of any kind! With hundreds of themes and the versatility that only Wordpress can provide, Brokerlab makes blogging easy, even if you are a beginner! Blogging creates “unique content” that is LOVED by the search engines and enables searchers to find you. The more you you blog and the more content you create, the more leads you can generate!”

That’s pretty cool Trace. I built a blog their tonight called Todd’s Experimental. It’s mostly recycled advice I’ve given out in the past to aspiring mortgage bloggers.
That looks great and I wasn’t even aware I had that theme… I like it and have pushed it to the top choices… now I need to fix the recent posts so that it doesn’t show hello world posts and point to brokerlab.com, add sitewide google sitemaps and a few other things… there are a lot of wordpress plugins we wanted to implement as well but we have to take them on a case by case basis because not all work in the multi user environment…
Let me tell you, if I can create a BrokerLab Account then anyone can do it. Took less than five minutes.
Great project, Trace!
