One of the things I do besides sell real estate is to help others out when it comes to online social media marketing and brand building. I was reading an article on one of my favorite sites Bloodhound Blog and Eric Blackwell was writing about a fellow Keller Williams Realtor® in Northern Virginia Carolyn Capalbo.
Why am I posting this here on Classic Homes Northwest? A site that is about real estate, buying and selling homes in Tacoma Washington? Well, because the topic should matter to all of us. See Carolyn Capalbo has the same name as the mother of Ashley Dupre. By simply having the same name as Ms. Dupre’s mom Carolyn has felt the effects of search engines gone bad.
Who has the same name as you? Are they doing anything that you would be ashamed of? Are they doing anything that the search engines are picking up? When someone types your name in a search engine what are the results? While we cannot control the actions of others no matter if they have the same name as we do. We can and should be monitoring our reputations online. If you spend any amount of time online and if you are concerned about your reputation you need to be taking time out to make sure you’re being represented correctly online.
The purpose of this article is to help Carolyn Capalbo someone I have never met but who from what I have read about her seems like a nice person in Northern Virginia regain her reputation on the search engines. If you’re looking to buy or sell in Northern Virginia give Carolyn Capalbo a call. Tell her Classic Homes Northwest said she was ok. If you’re looking to buy or sell a home in Tacoma? Well you know what to do. If by chance you’re not sure what to, call Classic Homes Northwest today we will be happy to help you buy or sell a home in Tacoma!
Thanks for your kind words Scott. The most frustrating thing about this situation is wondering about who is NOT calling because they think that I am associated with the scandal. Let’s face it, if my name was more common, it probably would not matter; however, my name is very uncommon and most people assume that there is a connection. I appreciate your support and the support of the Realtor community. Best wishes to you and your success…
Truly,
Carolyn
OK, I had a little gameknocking the other ‘me’s off the Google Map. Not all that hard. One was a prof at the University of Washington with a few academic pages and videos to her credit (papers I’d call boring) and one is a Financial Advisor of a bigish east coast firm. Thanfully nice professional sorts. Which brings one to wonder what if you did have a not so popular or reputable person going by your name? My last name is kind of rare so it was surprising when I went to live in another country and everyone recognized my name immeidately. Turns out there is a famous insane asylum with my family name there. GREEEEAAAAT.
