Learn Something Every Day - Today I Learned Facebook "Likes" Matter

If you're going to have a Facebook page, it only works when shared . . .

 

That was one of the takeaways from a workshop I attended today at SCCAOR (Santa Clara County Association of Realtors).  I have begun one (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Foresee-The-Possibilities-Rebecca-Foresee/265019346978565) and like most everything else, it's a work in progress.  

 

There were additional key points during this workshop hosted by EverBank and presented by Julia Wei  from the Law Offices of Peter N. Brewer.  Julia hasn't blogged in the rain so much lately, but does keep one going at http://dirtblawg.com/ for your information.

 

Back to topic: learning something new every day.  Julia pointed out how easily people get into trouble by accident let alone deliberately misleading people.

 

We need to be clear in our correspondence that we are Realtors and that includes citing our license numbers.  The SPAM police are out and misleading e-mail subject lines are on their hit list. 

 

We spent a fair amount of time discussing attribute and disclaim if we don't KNOW something.  (Can ya prove it?).  There's also that hot topice we all see from time to time involving infringing on others - especially copyright.  It's not a gray line; if it's not yours, don't use it without permission and that goes for photos too.

 

I came away with a list of mental "to-do" items of my own but did want to share another day in the life of a Realtor.

 

As always, let's foresee the possibilities . . . and get results!

You'll find additional resources at my website aimed at helping you and loved ones find ideas and resources we can all use while going through life's journey.

Rebecca, it is evident that you had a very productive conference and have taken away and reaffirmed lots of important information about technology and ethics!

Hi Sharon & Bruce, I take advantage of training whenever I can and was happy to discover Julia did a bit of blogging here in the Rain herself.   As a Real Estate Attorney, she took great care in addressing a room full of Realtors with tips on how to stay out of trouble.  Thank you for stopping by and commenting!

Rebecca: Identifying ourselves with names, license numbers, whether or not we are an agent or broker, and for which agency, etc. is so important on everything we put out there. So often I am confused as to WHO I am actually dealing with when I ge correspondence. I always ask! I don't give out ANY information until I know who they are.

Hella, How right you are!  So many people I meet won't give their e-mail address for just this reason alone.  They don't want to be tricked into something.  Like you, I'm cautious about verifying what has been sent.  Thank you for stopping by!
