I’m sure all of you have heard a lot about Twitter and may be wondering what all this buzz is about.Well, Twitter can be used many different ways and for many different things.There are many reasons why Twitter can be a useful tool for Real Estate professionals. You can use it to:

  • Network with other Real Estate Professionals
  • Find up to date Real Estate news
  • Find clients moving to your area
  • Distinguish yourself as your areas local Real Estate expert
  • Make new online friendships
  • Brand yourself

I’ve had the pleasure to meet some wonderful people via Twitter and have learned a great deal. Here are some of excellent articles and resources to help you leverage the power of Twitter:

Why do people use social networks? Great article on the mindset of people using social media by Eren Mckay

Expand your Twitter Network great post by a superb social media blogger Chinga Ya on how to be found in Twitter's new feature Twitter lists.

Since I am a big fan of Twitter lists here is another great article A guide to using Twitter Lists - make sure you bookmark this site as it is one of the best blogging resource

sites out there.

@ Barbara Thanks I hope it helped

 

@ Steve Hey Steve great point. The reason I follow everyone is because any person can be a potentail client in the future. You can meet somewhere on the other side of the world who actually may be moving to your area or have a friend or family member that is, so you never know. I also have made friendships with many people outside of Real Estate who have helped me learn new things that in turn help my overall Real Estate business.

 

I love using Twitter lists so you can kind of sort your followers.

for example here are a few types of lists I follow

A local list

It's encouraging to see Twitter is prevailing in various fields. A very fine resourceful article and good job on that Danny. Maybe someday you can write a testimonial or sharing a success story about how you use Twitter to reach potential clients in real estate. That'll be exciting to read for sure!

Thanks so much for including the link. I appreciate it.
