How Real Estate Agents Can Obtain Clients Using Twitter

Since working for Area Pro Realty (a new national real estate brokerage franchise) I've come across a number of people wanting to know everything from how Twitter works in theory, to how Twitter could possibly apply to helping a Real Estate agent.

The concept of Twitter is simple. It resembles a text message sent via a website to update people. Some people are fascinated by the mundane tasks that make up our world outside of cyberspace. This especially applies to celebrities and other public figures. It can also be used for getting important information out to people who care about you when you're not near your computer thanks to the mobile Twitter feature for your cell phone. You have 140 typed characters to say what you want to say, so brevity and strategizing your words is important.

Here are some tips us real estate professionals can use to help our careers:

•·  TinyURL-Visit Tinyurl.com to shorten even the longest of links . This comes in handy when you want to tweet about something you saw online and the web URL is very long.

•·  HashTags-Put a # symbol before a keyword. Some topics get tens of thousands of hits. Go to hashtags.org to learn more about popular hashtags.

•·  Marketing- Attach a "Follow me on Twitter" link on your website, your blogs and emails. The more people you get to follow you, the more exposure you get for your listing.

Our Real Estate Franchise owners at Area Pro Realty are well trained at how to use Twitter to enhance their business.  Strategic Social Networking is just one of the many technological advances that I'm spearheading.
