Interesting statistics about real estate agents and the use of social media.

It is more than being on social media, it is about value added and consistency.

Social Media Marketing has certainly changed in 7 years. I really think most agents are on board with it. There will always be a few holdouts, but their businesses will reflect it. Great visual!!

Great infographic... I must admit I was a bit taken aback the other day when I saw a video with an agent who uses Twitter alot and gets business from it, saying you need to tweet 22 times a day to be relevant!

I don't like hearing from anybody 22 times during the day. Not my husband, nor my cat, nor even Cher.

Thanks, Nina Hollander! Always great hearing from you. :) 22 tweets?! Okay, I guess we can break that down to 7 in the morning, 7 in the afternoon, 7 in the evening, and 1 at midnight if you're experiencing low-inventory-induced insomnia! - Tim

Hey, great infographics. Great summary. I would have liked to review the sources, but the links were not live. Nonetheless, appreciate the information.

Like other comments, I reviewed a story recently that Twitter was not the medium of choice.... but that may be study-source dependent on who sponsored the story.

Jan 06, 2017 08:44 AM

Thanks, Richard Bazinet /MBA! From personal experience, Twitter is a great, at the very least, medium of increased exposure (depending on strategic hashtag use and/or how many followers you have) :) - Tim
