I am thrilled to announce that fellow MIRM Mitch Levinson and I will be speaking at the International Builder's Show in Vegas next January 2009 on Internet Marketing.  I  will discuss the effectiveness of social media outlets in selling homes and include tips for using social media sites as part of your Internet marketing strategy. Flammer Relations and mRELEVANCE have been involved in social media for more than two years launching effective campaigns for builders, developers, remodelers and others involved in the home building and real estate industry. 

I have had the pleasure of presenting on how social media can enhance SEO to home builders in Atlanta, Raleigh, N.C., and Milwaukee, Wis. in the past.

My social media panel includes other industry experts and fellow MIRMs Dina Gundersen, Marketing Director for Monte Hewett Homes in Atlanta, and Kathie McDaniel, Director of Marketing and Advertising for Highland Homes in Lakeland, Fla.

Levinson's Internet Marketing topic will demonstrate how to effectively evaluate website tracking reports and use this knowledge for competitive advantage and increased sales. His course is sponsored by NextBuild, the technology-focused track of the International Builders’ Show curriculum. With over 18 years of direct experience selling and marketing new homes, combined with an MBA in Computer Information Systems and e-Commerce, Levinson has used this unique combination to teach similar classes in Chicago, Atlanta, Milwaukee, Wis., and Des Moines, IA. Levinson is founder of Mitch Levinson Consulting, MLC New Home Marketing and MLC FlatFee Realty, and has offices in Chicago and Atlanta. Highland Homes’ Kathie McDaniel will present with Levinson.

The International Builders’ Show is the largest annual light construction show in the world. It will take place January 20-23, 2009 in Las Vegas.
