Excellent Free NAR Tool to Enhance Listing Traffic on Social Sites

The National Association of REALTORS has done it again! They have worked a bit of magic to help us to market and advertise our properties! Kudos to them for working with REALTOR.com and FACEBOOK to allow a marketing box (wall tab) to auto pull your listings to be showcased on your facebook page! Once this is set up you have an easy link to post on Twitter, LinkedIn and yes, even our one and only ActiveRain!

I am impressed with the auto pull and how it was to to do! Easy as 1 - 2 -3 and it took me less than 2 minutes! Once complete you have a facebook wall tab of all of your listings an easy clickable link for others to see all of your listings!

Simply log into www.seemylistings.comand complete a few questions. You will need to know your MLS that auto generates your listings into REALTOR.com and your office and agent ID...A few simple clicks later and your listings are shared on your facebook profile page!

Now, the questions is with all of the hype about marketing your business on facebook and all of the do's and don't I have been seeing and hearing about profiles being deleted do you think that facebook has finally realized that as a REALTOR we eat, sleep and drink real estate and our business is 110% driven on relationship marketing? Maybe so!

Thank you NAR! My hat is tipped to you for a great business application that we can add to our social stimulus networking locations!

Elizabeth...

Please correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't FaceBook have a rather strict policy about advertising of this sort?

I could be thinking of one of the other social networks. That happens to me once in awhile. There's just so many of them :)

TLW...ROAR!

I agree Elizabeth. This is a great tool and works in minutes. I have it on my FB profile and haven't been able to figure out if I can get it on my FB fan page yet. (Maybe someone will post here whether or not that is possible).

TLW, you're right it is kind of weird that FB allows it, but we have to assume Realtor.com wouldn't be offering this if they hadn't cleared it with FB first. (At least I hope not.:-)

Denise

TLW - Yes - Facebook has a huge NO MARKETING rule, however, this is a wall post which is a bit different than your updates...I have a reblog on the facebook marketing by Mike Mueller I encourage others to read - regardless, I have this wall post and trust it to be safe based on our NAR approving it!

TLW - By the way - I just love your whip! How cool is that!

Denise - I will try and figure that one out - If not I someone will master it and share here in the rain!

Thanks for the heads up...I hadn't seen this:)

Elizabeth - Sounds like a pretty neat tool. I will have to check it out and see if I'm smart enough to install. Thanks for the info.

Great tip! Thanks for sharing Elizabeth :)

Elizabeth...

Thank you for answering the question. Inquiring minds need to know :)

As far as the whip goes, I did that for the fun of it last year. Now The Members won't let me blog without it :)

TLW...ROAR!

Neat tip Elizabeth - thanks for letting us know!

Per Facebooks TOS 4.2 “You will not use your personal profile for your own commercial gain.” I can't see how you would be able to use this on you personl profile. On a fan page it would be within the TOS.

Suzanne: I thought it was pretty neat when it was shared with me! Anything for listing exposure!

Troy! If you can blog you can install! LOL

Melinda - Lee and Pam - You are welcome! Hope it works well for you!

TLW - Keep whipping it! I love it!

Tim: I know all about TOS 4.2 but I would have to think that the NAR and REALTOR.com would have to know about it as well...

Great info! I just got a $1.5M price reduction on a waterfront property here in Sandpoint and I MUST get this out to as many potential buyers as possible. Great timing!

Kent: Great reduction! Sounds like a real deal! Best of luck!

Looks interesting. Will try it until face book says no I guess.
