Business & Social Media & Networks have exploded the last 5 years. So much so that I have been asked by hundreds of brokers and agents when am I going to write about it more and provide suggestions, tips and strategies on how to master this growing "monster."
The good news is that I am busy writing as we speak and will be announcing in August details about my new Swanepoel SOCIAL MEDIA Report - A Field Guide for Real Estate Professionals.
Meanwhile it's important to be connected, get connected and to build your network. This survey should prove interesting and hopefully inspire many more real estate professionals to become more active in social and business networks.
Submit your name and lets get a snapshot every year of what it means to be one of the 100 most connected in real estate.

Who Are the Top 100 Most Connected People in Real Estate? Are You One of Them?
In the game of real estate marketing whoever has the most high trust relationships wins!
The more people you know who would go out of their way to refer business to you, the more business you get.
The entire world is a buzz over social media and professional networking. There is no question that online networks like Facebook (www.facebook.com ) and Twitter (www.twitter.com ) have exploded into household names with millions of people participating. Even in our own industry the growth of ActiveRain (www.activerain.com) has been nothing short of incredible as it has raced up to over 150,000 members!!
Yet, only one-third of all real estate agents engage in professional networking, according to NAR. What is everyone else waiting for? Perhaps the technology itself is a bit daunting at first. But, the essence of connecting with new people from all over the world, people who could not only become friends but also referral sources, is well worth the time and effort.
Proxio, the international MLS and global referral network, is interesting in identifying and recognizing the most connected people in real estate. Are you one of them? Do you have, on various networks, more than say, 3,000 contacts, friends and/or followers?
Then maybe you could be one of the TOP 100 MOST CONNECTED PEOPLE IN REAL ESTATE. Enter a short survey coordinated by Proxio, the fastest growing multilingual agent-to-agent referral network in the world, to find out if you are. CLICK HERE to take the survey.
The Top 100 Most Connected People in Real Estate will be announced at the INMAN conference in San Francisco on August 5/6th

Stefan,
This sounds really interesting. There are certainly a lot of benefits with social networking, I am barely skimming the top with AR.
