NAR hires Todd Carpenter as new Social Media Manager

By
Real Estate Agent with Realty Executives

It has finally been announced that NAR's new social media manager is..... Todd Carpenter. After months of rumor and speculation, we now know who sits in the hot seat.

Many of us know the amazing job Todd has done with Lenderama and with REBlogWorld and have been impressed with the passion he has for social media.

NAR says " We loved Todd's ideas, his easygoing manner, his reputation and how knowledgeable he is about social media. We also really valued his relationships with so many REALTORS® who are using blogs, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and other social media channels to connect effectively with one another and with potential clients and customers."

This has the chance to really help with some of the current ideas NAR appears to have about social media. Many of us hope this hiring will be a great fit for all involved. I've had the opportunity to meet Todd a few times at different events and am confident he will bring a great perspective to this new position.

Now, I sincerely hope the NAR will show us here in Phoenix some REAL value and make sure Todd attends REBarCamp in Phoenix on April 23rd! It's his job!! :-)

Congrats to my friend.. We will be watching!

I don't know a single person that would say hiring Todd was the wrong move for NAR. He brings so much to the table already that it gives NAR instant credibility right out of the gate. I just hope they will let Todd be Todd because I have got to know him over the past year and wouldn't want him to change one bit. I wish him nothing but the best of luck and hope he kicks ass and continues to do what he does best!

Hi there,

This should be interesting! Blogworld in Las Vegas was an amazing event for me last year. So does this mean no more Blogworld in the future?
