I have seen several posts lately about people asking if social networking sites like Facebook are good to use in helping to find new clients. I must admit that I have been a Facebook addict for sometime. It's one of those sites that I can't help but not go onto daily. It seems that I am constantly getting in touch with people that I haven't spoken with for ages or else use it as a quick way to send a message to a bunch of people. My boyfriend often gives me grief about my little Facebook addiction but I am very happy to say that it has provided me an alternative way to gain additional clients. On my profile I have it listed that I am a Saskatoon Realtor as well list my Saskatoon real estate website. An example of how I have gained clients is recently through Facebook I was reunited with an old friend of mine I haven't spoken with since high school. He saw on my profile that I was a real estate agent in Saskatoon and immediately messaged me telling me he was moving to town and needed to buy a house but didn't know a real estate agent in Saskatoon. Lucky for him I was just the Realtor to help him! The best part is now when I am on Facebook and my boyfriend is giving me grief I can tell him I am working!

I am not the social.. seems like everyday a new social network site pops up saying it is the lender and the best new tool. And the truth is that it is like any community you get out of it what you put into it .

Kari, thanks for the post. I think in business we should be out there where people work and play, even if it's mean using facebook, or AR. In todays global market place we have to let people know who we are and what we can do for them.

An experienced agent, means a great experience!

I joined facebook but do not know all the features it offers, I put in a couple of my listings and I put in my info, actually was invited by a past client and another past client found me on there and linked to my facebook too, so tell me what else it has for realtors please?

I am on facebook, invited by a client as Barbara was, so I thought ok, every little bit of exposure helps. I started a group but not much has come from it, but how does the saying go Build it and they will come, right!
