As real estate agents, you work hard on your branding. You spend hours coming up with just the right feel for your website and the message that you want to convey.

That’s where RealPro comes in. The web company is offering a brand new … (0 comments)

social networking for real estate agents: I’m All Out of Ideas...So What Should I Post?!?
- 03/30/11 10:09 AM
Having a populated, interesting Facebook page that engages people is difficult. Facebook is something that you have to allot time for every day, because you need to have an active page.

social networking for real estate agents: A Beautiful Marriage: Trulia and Facebook
- 01/20/11 08:45 AM
I recently participated on the Trulia webinar "Trulia and Facebook are Now Connected." The webinar touted the new Facebook features now available on Trulia and how you can use them to your benefit as a real estate agent. After my experience with this particular webinar, it looks to me like it could be a beautiful relationship. In my experience as an avid webinar attendee, I have found that webinars can be very touch and go. Sometimes you participate in one, and find that you know more than the person giving the presentation. That was not the case here. Rudy from Trulia … (3 comments)
