I has happy (but not surprised) to see that Jim Cronin, founder of Real Estate Tomato recently made it to Inman’s list of 25 Most Influential Real Estate Bloggers: 2007.

I have known Jim for a while but got to meet him in person at the Inman Blogger Connect earlier this year. I have long admired Jim’s approach to bringing Realtors online, especially his innovative use of ‘coaching’ and education. I decided to give Jim a call yesterday and do a quick podcast interview. I briefly talked with Jim about his company and popular Real Estate Tomato blog, how he got involved in blogging and any advice he may have for follow blogger. As always, Jim has some great advice for real estate bloggers (and blogger want-to-be’s). Click on Podcast icon below to hear the entire podcast.

Congrats as well to Kevin Boer (3Oceans Real Estate), Joel Burslem (Future of Real Estate Marketing), Patrick Kitano (Transparent Real Estate),Joseph Ferrara and Rudolph D. Bachraty III (Sellsius Real Estate Blog) and Glenn Kelman (Redfin)who also make the list!
