How Do You Leverage Facebook In Your Real Estate Business?

Hello everyone. Thanks for the great response. I'm leaving for the LRE Conference right now but will be back with you later today to address all your questions. For those of your providing your well wishes, we thank you very much.

Derek

I responded to everyone last night but it didn't save properly. So here I am again. I'm going to respond to all questions by referencing the comment number. After that, if you want additional information or need another question answered, please email me at derek.overbey@roost.com.

#8: Hi Marianne. The one bit of advice I would give you is just focus on putting up great local content on your fan page. Now the Google is indexing the pages, it will help you rise in the organic search.

#11: Hi Pam. What city do you service and what MLS is that in?

#18: Hi Terri. The app is actually city specific not regionally specific. Walnut Creek is a city we service and will be listed under California.

#19: Hi Keith: Actually the 50+ demographic is one of the fastest growing on Facebook.

#21: Hi Jen. We would love to work with you if our information is not correct. On the name issue, the beta app is tied to your personal profile so if you use your maiden name there, unfortunately it will show on the app. Why don't you email me and we can chat further.

#27: Hi Lori. We are looking into Pullman.

#29: Hi Jared. What MLS is that?

#30: Hi Leslie. Have you created a Fan Page. They are separate but you have to have a personal profile in order to set up a fan page. Email me if you need additional help.

#32: Hi John. Can you provide what MLS Mountain Home, AR is in?

#34: Hi Debbie. Can you provide the city you service and what MLS you are in.

#44: Hi Scott. We are working on those coverage areas and will be back if we can make that a reality.

#45: Hi Renee. Right now it goes back to Roost.com but we have a version coming out very soon that will give options on where that goes. We will update you as soon as that happens.

#48: Hi Mike. We are working on that as one of our future releases.

#50: Hi Christianne. We are working hard on the MLS that services those areas. It has been challenging. Hopefully soon.

#53: Hi Angela. That is what all applications ask. We need that in order to create the local tab and have it go up on your fan page. Email if you still need more assurance.

#54: Hi Marc. What city and what MLS do you belong to. I will investigate.

#55: Hi Cathy. Did your tab ever show. What is the page called? email me at derek.overbey@roost.com

#58: Hi Lia. Utah is on our radar.

#59: Hi Drew. It adds another tab to your page. Will not mess up your custom tabs. Facebook doesn't allow that.

#60: Hi again Cathy. The beta version link goes back to roost.com In a upcoming release we will have different options for that link. Please check back with us.

#62: Hi Hanna. Unfortunately with this beta version, we can only link one profile. We are looking at a future release that will handle team environments.

#64: Hi Nancy. What city and MLS are you in?

#81: Hi Erica. What city and MLS are you referencing? I would love to try and help.

#87: Hi Dawn. Are you in Cleveland? We are trying to get that board on the platform. The link goes to back to roost.com on this beta version but we are working on a couple different solution that will come out very soon.

#88: Hi Wendy. Why don't you email me at derek.overbey@roost.com and we will try to help you.

Hi Lyn. Yep, these stats are way old. I wrote this post on March 6, 2010. Maybe I could write a new one with new stats.

Derek

Thanks everyone. I will get around to providing new stats shortly.
