The way we do business in real estate has changed dramatically over the last 10 years… It’s a fact that more than 80% of Buyers use the internet to find their next home… and Buyers are much more savvy than their predecessors.

In order to reach these savvy Buyers, we much be Tech Savvy realtors, and be able to keep up with all the new technology available to us, some of which is FREE!  We must have a presence on the internet, and we must be engaging in Social Media… these are the tools we must be using, and if we don’t we may get left behind.

One of the tools available to us is Facebook, something we are all familiar with. 

  • But, do you have a Business Page, in addition to your Personal page?  
  • Do you know what you should, and should not be posting on your personal page?  
  • What should you be posting on your business page, and how often?
  • Are you converting your online "friends" into potential clients?
  • Are you making the most of this valuable networking tool?

If you don't already have a Facebook Page for your business, you need one. It's a perfect way to engage customers and keep all your company info in one place.

Here's an excerpt from the site:

With more than 300 million active users, Facebook is nearly the size of the United States in terms of population. In fact, odds are that you're a Facebook user, perhaps using it to keep in touch with family and friends, with a dash of business thrown in for good measure. Maybe you look at some of the 2 billion photos uploaded each month, or contribute a few of the 40 million daily status updates. In short: Facebook is where it's at, and you're already there.

But what about your business? Does it use Facebook? If you're a business owner, you really need to set up a Fan Page, or else you risk being left behind as more businesses shift to social networks like Facebook.

This post is a beginner's guide to setting up and getting the most out of a Page on Facebook for your business.

Here is a link to an article on setting up your fan page... and instructions on how to do it...

John and Irma, you are welcome.  I had a friend ask me just 2 days ago how to create a business page, and remembered this post from last year, so thought it might be useful to post again for others.

. .a good rule of thumb I follow. . . never solicit.. mingle or you'll get branded as the pesky real estate agent. .!

Hi Fernando, having a facebook business page is not soliciting for business.  People choose to "like" your page, or not... its simply a way of sharing information and interacting with others...

For me to succeed as a real estate professional I am constantly "soliciting" or "prospecting" for business... but I don't do it on Facebook... there are many other options..

Have a super day!

I have my personal page and 2 business pages and I am very selective which content to share on my personal page...I enjoy getting LIKES on my business pages and exploring what is available for me to LIKE.
