I got my first reminder about updating my CRS (Certified Residential Specialist) profile today in preparation for the New CRS Directory. I decided to do it right away rather than allowing the e-mail to get buried under the pile of online debris that tends to gather in my inbox.
Guess What? There's some cool new options for updating your CRS profile. Now you can not only add your blog address, but you may also include your direct link to a variety of Social networks.
I thought it was helpful that the Council thoughtfully provided a link for a quick video tour of Social Networking sites for those who may be unfamiliar with the term.
What do you think? It seems to me that it may not be long before MLS systems begin to give more options for their agents beyond just a website address. Is this already happening in your area of the country? Do you think it is appropriate? I'll give a penny for your thoughts...
Options available for CRS agents to include in their profile for the upcoming directory...2009
