As a 40 year old REALTOR with 20 years under my belt I think I am pretty tech savvy. As I was going through high school and college I learned to use a computer and over the years I have become pretty efficient. Each day it seems there is anew and better way to stay in touch.
ActiveRain for example is great. Never before in real estate has it been so easy to get information about anything. Post a blog and comment and advise come from everywhere. Most of the comments are good.
In the past year I have become somewhat addicted to Facebook. I will admit that it took me a while to get comfortable with it but in the past few months I have become reacquainted with people I have not heard from in 20 years. Each time I add a friend someone else sees me and the cycle continues.
The hardest part for me is keeping a handle on my personal friends posting where my professional colleagues can read it. I am sure there is some way to separate the two but I can't seem (nor do I have the time) to figure it out.
I can't say that I have gotten any business from it yet but with over 210 friends at this time I thin k it is only a matter of time. Our local association has a Facebook app now so that is exciting. Share your success stories with us.
