Welcome!

Today I have decided to try something new. As a real estate agent I am always looking for ways to maximize exposure for myself and my listings.  I have always tried to dip into different avenues of marketing (print, email, social media, direct mail). And today I have decided to start a blog and I am pretty excited about it. 

My father, Jimmy Townsend, who started the company I work for (Townsend Real Estate) 27 years ago when I was 3 years old always comes back from our national conferences with the thought that we need to start a blog.  I have always thought that maybe that would be a good idea but that was as far as it ever got.  My wonderful wife, Lauren, is really into reading blogs and her cousin Beth is writing her own blog Covet du Jour about design.  A combination of all of these things have given me my new idea.

My hope for this blog is to be able to share with you my experiences in real estate, discuss my views on the wonderful city of Fayetteville, and give updates on our local real estate market.  I hope you will visit my blog frequently and I hope you enjoy what I have to say.
