facebook page: Win an Amazon Kindle Fire Android Tablet - New RealBird Sweepstakes - 09/28/11 12:45 PM
Today, Amazon announced their brand new lineup of Kindle devices. As many media outlet enthusiastically declared, it may be a deal changer on the tablet market and we tend to agree with them.
Without getting into the specs of these new tablets and more specifically, the top of the line Kindle Fire, it seems obvious that they are going to sell very well at these price points and for the first time, the Kindle Fire may put a big pressure on Apple (although it's not known what Apple is planning with iPad 3) Nevertheless, Amazon changed this market once and for … (7 comments)

facebook page: Don't Forget to Like Yourself - Facebook Listing Pages with RealBird - 05/08/10 12:15 PM
Once upon a time there were print real estate advertisements only, newspapers, flyers and so on. Then the MLS computer systems came along with sharing listing information among real estate members. In the early 2000s, IDX was the next big thing with letting the listing information reach the public through other brokers' and agents' websites, providing additional exposure to properties by aggregating home buyer traffic on 3rd party websites. Listing syndication, single property websites with SEO and listing widgets followed and property information reached new destinations - places where home buyers were gathering and searching on: classified sites, Google and other … (50 comments)

By now, most of you have heard about Facebook Pages and many of you have set up one or more for your real estate business or local communities.
I noticed that most real estate Facebook Pages however have very little content and low number of Fans. Our RealBird Facebook Page has been growing nicely and I thought I share some of the things that we learned. You may be able to apply these techniques to your own Facebook Pages.
1) Your Facebook Page should be a community, so allow your Fans' posts to show up on your Page Wall

facebook page: Facebook your Listings (the right way) - via Mike Mueller - 11/17/09 05:53 PM
Mike Mueller is doing some advanced customization with the RealBird Facebook application for his clients. Beautiful !
You can connect with Mike at www.AreWeConnected.com
 
One of the first questions I get asked by an Agent who wants a Custom Facebook Business Page created is “Can you pull in my listings – here’s my IDX Feed” The answer is No! "Pretty Please?" Still No. Not because I don't want to. You see... Facebook does not like dynamic content in custom tabs and guess what your IDX feed is? Yup! “Dynamic”. But wait there’s a workaround and a very pretty one at that. … (16 comments)

facebook page: iPod Touch Sweepstakes - The Final Push - 11/03/09 05:11 AM
We started a sweepstakes a few month ago using our RealBird Facebook Page as the platform, and an iPod Touch as the prize. The rules are simple: to participate, just fan our Facebook Page and we'll randomly select one of our Fans as the winner, once we reach 500 total fans. No purchase of any kind is required. You can also help by inviting your real estate friends to fan the RealBird FB Page too. Your chance of winning will not change. Due to rules of the sweepstakes, it always stays 1 in 500, but with your invites, we may get … (12 comments)

facebook page: iPod contest rules changed - better for you, "worse" for us. But we like it anyways - 09/05/09 08:17 AM
As many of our regular readers know, we started another iPod Touch sweepstakes on Aug 14. The original rule was that we draw an iPod Touch among our RealBird Facebook Page fans, once the number of fans reach 1,000. Ambitious it was, slow it became. While we have more and more fans every day, based on the current trend it would take a long time before a lucky winner can walk away with the iPod. So we decided to change the rules.
We are going to select the winner, as soon as we reach 500 fans. Currently, we are at 232, … (6 comments)

We are at it again. We are giving away another iPod Touch as part of our ongoing social media experiments. We ran our previous campaign in April, at that time using Twitter as the delivery media. This time, we are experimenting with our RealBird Facebook Page. 
The rules are simple:
Fan our RealBird Facebook Page to enter the sweepstakes Once we reach 1,000 fans we will randomly select one of you as the winner ( currently at 149 at the time of writing this post) Those of you who became our fan on Facebook prior to this sweepstakes will also participate … (15 comments)

facebook page: Add your listings as a "Homes for Sale" tab on your Facebook Page - 08/06/09 08:44 AM
Facebook Pages are publicly accessible minisites on Facebook that you can update - just like your personal Facebook profile - with status updates, news, links, photos, discussions and now: with your RealBird listings and home search services. If you don't have one, you can create it here in less than a minute
As opposed to your personal profile, people can fan your business page on Facebook and you can have a two-way communication with them without actually adding them as a friend (your inner circle).

facebook page: How to add your Facebook Page widget to ActiveRain - 07/25/09 07:56 AM
More and more real estate agents and brokers are setting up their Facebook Business Pages every day. The Facebook Page is a publicly accessibly presence for your business and group, where you can manage communication with clients, visitors, business partners and your company's or group's fans in general. As opposed to your regular Facebook Profile, Facebook Pages can be viewed and interacted with by any user without actually becoming part of your inner circle of friends. A few days ago, we wrote about how to add the Facebook Page widget to your RealBird single property websites in order to connect with … (13 comments)

facebook page: Add your Facebook Page to your RealBird single property websites and get connected with your visitors - 07/20/09 03:31 AM
We can't cease to be amazed of the creativity of our RealBird members. 
Mike Conner of City Realty, Inc. just created something very unique with his listing on RealBird. His beautiful Olympia, WA waterfront property website is customized with many of the advanced RealBird options, including very nice background theme, printable flyer, neighborhood slideshow and more. But the feature which is truly unique and powerful is the inclusion of his Facebook Business Page under the Get Connected tab.
We though it is worth to share his creative idea as a tutorial.
First, click the image below to see Mike's listing website for … (11 comments)

Great post from Mike Mueller on why agents need a Facebook Page (a public presence on Facebook besides the regular private Facebook profiles). If you have it set it up, - with or without a vanity Url - you can also add it to the Twitter tracker as described in our previous post

It won’t be anything like the land rush of the first Facebook URL frenzy but starting Sunday Night June 28th at 9:00 PM the gates are open for all.
Facebook was pretty smart in the way they released custom URLs.   You see, most anyone … (8 comments)
