Round 2 - Facebook Tips - You got 'em - Let's Share them!

Well there is a lot you can do.....widgets on the side....post your listings, solds, opens etc.  But I think this is mostly a social network so you need to be social.  Friend and be friends. Start with your emails looking for clients you have and are working with. Friend them and it is a great way to stay in touch and connected with them, know their interests etc...Also your picture will cycle thru their list of friends being a great basis for referrals by your past clients to their circle of friends.  Have you cycled through your emails yet looking for potential friends?  I would recommend you don't add fellow Realtors though.

If this is a duplicate I apologize...but my first comment didn't seem to take...

Yes, 3 listings in the last 2 weeks, 1 referral. Good Luck

Real estate and finance are relational. One of the benefits of social media is the opportunity to interact with potential clients. I have closed several loans through Facebook contacts and Facebook referrals.

I think the critical element for social networking is interacting with potential clients.  My mistake has been to market aggressively, rather than to communicate and interact.  It is a tough lesson for me to learn.  It's almost like learning how to be a good listener.

I think just having a page is a start Kristin - we just had a client of 2-3 years ago find us & contacted us on facebook of all places ( they misplaced our biz card ) and that's how we got a listing from their facebook message to us!

I'm going to visit this post and your other one about twitter to get some tips as well from others - but just being out there helps other FIND you :)

Sincerely,

Grace

Use it to post open house, just listed , just sold, your advise & opinion on real estate market and trends...add clients to it...share you knowledge for real estate :)...I've been on FB for a month now...I have connected with friends and family of course...also quit a few past clients and some current...I got a refferal from one on my past client's on FB most likely because she see's my post daily....GOOD LUCK!!
