“The secret of success is to know something nobody else knows.” – Aristotle Onassis

The Greek shipping magnate who built a massive fortune with a shipping fleet,  started an airline, owned his own island, and married the widow of a slain American president.

Aristotle Onassis knew a thing or two about success. If Onassis was alive today and wanted to buy the most luxurious condo in South Beach, Miami, there is no doubt about whom he would call.

Kevin Tomlinson is the top Realtor in South Beach. He sells homes to celebrities and millionaires, and he is happy to assist the occasional billionaire who calls him for help. He is the vice-president of One Sotheby’s International in Miami.

Kevin Tomlinson started blogging in 2006. His South Beach Real Estate Blog strategy is not a mainstream strategy most agents hear touted at REBarcamps and real estate conferences.  He does not share tips about widgets and WordPress updates.

Kevin has a different strategy. It works.  It is bold and it defies common convention on the social media bully pulpit circuit. It works very well for Kevin.

Kevin talked to Denise Lones and shared his strategy for the first time. This video is worth the time it takes to listen to it.  Denise and Kevin are both finalists in the 100 Inman Most Influential People in Real Estate in 2011. When you hear the video you will understand why they are on that list and what sets them apart from the crowd.

I was delighted to have a part in this video production and a front row seat to the discussion. I’ve listened to the video several times … and I learn something new from Kevin each time I listen.

I suggest you close your e-mail for an hour, turn off Facebook, and tell your friends on Twitter to wait. This video is worth your full attention.

Blog and Prosper!
