Facebook your Listings (the right way)

By
Education & Training with Tech and Social Media Consultant
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. The folks over at RealBird have a slick application.

How slick? Check this out:

If you have a Facebook Business Page and want something like this for yours – just contact me.

Hmm, I am liking this idea. Unfortunately my only listings at the moment are leases, but I am very interested in using this in the futre!

Mike, thanks for this info.  My buddy Janie Coffey LOVES RealBird.  I keep meaning to get over there and start using it.  This is another fine example of why I should just do it already!

Maggie!  It was Janie's that I have been showing off for the longest time.  I've been toying with putting the tech into a custom tab and started doing that this morning - loving how it looks!

That's a pretty sweet looking FB Fan Page - like a mini-website.  Will check out RealBird this season...

You are still on the short list.  A lot of stuff got piled up behind you today from #vrebc, but you are still close to the front of the line...

Maybe I should make something clearer - RealBird provides the ability to bring in the Listings, I then wrap something pretty around that.  (usually that's the look, feel and links of your blog/website)  It's a match made in heaven!

I like what you are doing Mike.  Right now my listings are low so I am trying to get caught up and see what some of my favorite people are doing.  I like this idea.  I am going to reblog it so that more see it.  Hopefully, pull you some business too.  Take care
