A Short Facebook Success Story - I Promise

 

It's been a crazy summer, heck it's been a crazy year.  Since I promised to keep this short, I'll only hit the highlights....

I sold nearly all of my listings this summer and I been working on building my inventory and in the meantime I decided to highlight a couple of "Great Buys" in my market area on my Facebook Fan Page and see if I could help a few buyers along the way. Under Contract in Lykens PA

First, I had to establish a Facebook Fan Page and invite a few friends...still working on getting that number up.  But on Thursday I posted a great little home I found in a small community, it was brand new on the market and definately priced to sell.  On Monday a new person "Liked" my page at 830 am and then my phone rang at 845 am with a request to go see the home.  Move forward a few hours and we are under contract!!!

So I met my annual goal in August, I've closed 5 above that since then and I have 5 under contract right now.  I'm having fun this fall looking for business, I will find more. :-)

I'd love for you to stop by my Facebook Fan Page for a visit. Melissa Stahl - Exit Realty

I love Facebook for attracting business.  I haven't had any luck with fan pages for listings, but have had a lot of success with my personal page.  Great job to you!

Melissa encouraging post, guess when you set goals and works towards them, they can really happen.  Keep up the good work and set higher goals for this coming year.

I'm still one of the doubters on Facebook and the rest of those Social Media sites, I guess it's that old dog no tricks thingy. Congratulations to  you though

Jared and Amanda, Thanks for stopping by....I did only establish my fan page this fall, so I'll see how it goes..I've also had good success with my personal page. Retired from the USAF and have friends all over the world and constantly moving so it's the best way for me to help them.

Thanks Stephen, I have set higher goals for next year, had to readjust for the remainder of this year, couldn't justify taking the rest of the year off. :-)

Ed, with 600K points on ActiveRain, believe it or not you are involved in some form of Social Media.  Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and the others are just a different forum. Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting.

I'm amazed at the way you can connect to people you don't know through FB.  I posted a photo album "closed sales".  My buyer clients started tagging and posting these pics on their pages.  Next thing you know, their friends are visiting my page since the photo links back to me.  Very cool!

I have noticed that the more personal you are on facebook (within reason of course!) the better the response.  Since I quit just posting generic stuff (like listings, open houses etc) and started posting things like "Happy Monday all!", motivational quotes, and commenting on other peoples posts I have been receiving more calls.  Facebook is such a wonderful tool and I'm so happy that it is giving you such good results!!

Hi Pamela, Thank you....Like Rebecca said, mix it up, business and social...remember it is social media....a place where people become people.  I just now established my fan page, it will take some time to build a good mix....just gotta be patient and consistent.

Rebecca, you are absolutely right. I've got quite a bit of work to do with my business fan page....I'm like you on my personal page, but I want move a lot of my business stuff to my fan page and post from there.  That way my sphere still sees it, but they'll see a difference. Thanks for your comments.
