Utilizing some great networking sites and having fun too!

I never would have believed it... but utilizing technology is paying off!

Business networking is no longer a handshake or simply meeting for a drink or at a function to make the personal contacts that have served us all so well. Businesses, including my own industry are turning to a more global marketing approach while making connections, advertising services, etc. I am learning,.. and most importantly, having some fun.  Being able to say that after nearly 7 years in the business... it is so true!

I have always said, "You really must love what you do for a living, or why do it!" I am loving the constant challenges of my business. Growing.. a few steps behind my college daughters..well.. that is ok! I suppose it is my turn! I'm catching on... finally.

So I've created profiles and made "friends" and established business networks I never dreamed of. Allowing people to see not just a business profile, but a touch of my personality, has already provided rewards! Today I had a young couple from New York call.. and we have an appointment to see condos in Southwood Plantation on Tuesday. Go figure! So, now I've now got a My Space profile,.. A Facebook profile, an Active Rain profile - strictly for real estate professionals, and am even a "Digg" profile where people send me great articles and diversions about travel and where I send interesting articles to others.Blogging in all of these areas and on my google page.. well, I am loving how it is all connecting! It's just a whole new world folks... and what fun! Florida Real Estate is alive and well.. and Realtors are surviving, thriving and smiling as every day is an adventure!

Let's help each other out.. that is the real point of all of this.. I will remember those who help grow my business..the favors will be returned!
