facebook: Traditional VS. New Media! What's Your Realtor Using?
- 02/04/10 06:43 AM
Are you using a "old school" Realtor who uses "old school" marketing techniques? This is a great question the next time someone is out looking for the right Real Estate Agent to use. I say it all the time but, times have changed! If you ask me, there are many key questions I would ask if I was looking to have someone work for me when buying or selling a home in today's market. 1. Are you an "avid" user / embraces Social Media? (Having a user name and password on Facebook doesn't count) 2. Do you use video to market … (8 comments)

facebook: Don't worry, Social Media is a FAD!
- 04/21/09 10:28 AM
It's depressing how Real Estate agents and professionals around here (New England) know so little about the importance of social media. It was obvious today after we went door to door promoting our class on Twitter & Facebook to offices, owner brokers, and managers that something is clearly missing. I went to over 15 offices in the Andover, North Andover, MA area speaking to agents, giving hand outs, and even sent out over 500 e-mails to Realtors. One office which has over 70 agents said to me "they have a good handle on their social media sites". What does that mean? … (20 comments)

facebook: Choose Your Weapon.... Are yours working for you?
- 02/12/09 06:35 AM
Choosing your weapons to go to battle / war can be an important decision whether you survive or not. The same compariosn can be made with the weapons you have while on the streets and in the trenches trying to generate business. Tools and equipment are not a luxury when it comes to showing customers your serious about what your going to do to help them get their offer accepted / house sold. To beat your competitors these ideas must be taken seriously other wise you'll just be a casualty of war.
