The reasons can and do vary. Generally, it's their writing or a take on a subject in a post(or comment/question/answer) that I find intriguing. Sometimes it may be reciprocation. It can also be from the recommendation of another member.

Their posts are relevant to my business, or are entertaining, or are what I would like to emulate in my own blog. Mostly, looking back over the 8 years I've been on AR, I tend to gravitate to and keep up with the people who I would choose to hang aroud with in person if that were possible.

I pick most of mine based on the quality of what they write. Following a blogger makes it easier to find his or her new posts as they come on.

The biggest reason is I seem unable to tag them in a comment/post/etc like when I recently couldn't tag Lisa Von Domek unless I followed her.
Second reason is if they follow me. Third reason is if enjoy their content.

As Michael Jacobs said, it varies but, it is primarily quality, similarity in 'style' and client care...and of course, area knowlege that I'm looking for when I follow someone, Tony and Suzanne Marriott, Associate Brokers.

If the person is interesting in general, has good pertinent real estate experience, questions, and information to share/blog about, has a sense of humor, and just seems like a kind soul (as opposed to a rude and demanding 'bully', who knows it all - HA!), I would absolutely Follow them Tony and Suzanne Marriott, Associate Brokers, and have Followed many that have Followed me first, and thanked them for doing so.

Reciprocation as my Mama taught me to follow proper etiquette. Secondly, if the photo of the other agent doesn;'t scare the daylights out of me.

I like what they have to say - I like the way they say it. Humor doesn't hurt.
I follow people for many things - there is a group that write good market reports as an example. I can see then how awful mine look lol.

Tony and Suzanne Marriott, Associate Brokers - to encourage newbies, establish relationships with the oldies ( and to earn some points, too.)

I follow those
-whose thinking I respect and who inspire me
-with whom I wish to build a professional relationship for future business (this may be local or cross-country)
-who blog about something I wish to study (like how to build SEO & other things)
I do not follow someone just because they followed me. I can't read all the posts.

I like keeping up on market news and events in the areas I cover, so I follow mostly folks in those states/areas. If someone is just a really good blogger, and I enjoy/learn from their writing, I follow as well.

I like them and I feel that I can learn a thing or two from them (the way they blog, the info they posted etc). Right now I'm starting to blog in AR and because I'm new to blogging I have to see how others present their stuff, for example, signature. What else they put in their blogs that can be of value to their audiences and perhaps I can do something similar. I think we are all about learning from each other.
