Social Networking: Are you connected?

Amazing isn't it? This Social Media wave has quickly turned into a tsunami...overtaking the Real Estate Industry. I had a friend who was a Real Estate Agent about 5 years ago. I remember when he started talking about his plan to use MySpace to sell real estate. He was speaking to people who had been in the business forever, hahaha...we laughed the poor guy out of the room! Keep in mind... at this time I had not even heard of Facebook. I shuttered to think that MySpace could be used to grow a Rea… Continue

2010 a year of positive recovery or more decline

Depending on who you choose to believe the US economy is either in for a positive recovery or further decline. On my weekly radio show( Real Estate Lifestyle on blogtalk.com) requires me to research news and information on the housing market nationwide.

Social Media.... can it effectively be used as a marketing resource? Should I sign up? Answers inside!

Absolutely, and Absolutely!
No doubt, most of you have heard of MySpace and Facebook. For those that haven’t, they are essentially personal web pages where friends can exchange quips, photos and remain in contact without actually having human interaction. To fill the remaining gap in instant communication, Twitter can update your friends as to your every move. Surreal.

Aside from creating an online posse of friends that you never really have to see, there are some real benefits to using these s… Continue
