The pace of real estate agents joining Facebook is amazing. My brother and I started watching how many agents were on Facebook over 6 months ago. We were finding out how many people identified themselves as real estate agents and back then it was just over 50K agents had put somewhere in their profile that they were in fact in real estate. Fast forward several months later and there were over 125K real estate agents on Facebook. What we have found in doing live training events on Social Networking... 

If you have never been to the IE (Inland Empire) in California it is just east of Los Angeles County and North of San Diego County. You will head through it on your way to Las Vegas if you drive or on your way to Lakes and “the River”. This area comes with many stereotypes that our audiences informed us of last week. We were told the following: “Not all of us have lifted trucks” “See we do have all of our teeth here” “The river is fun” - We never said... 

James and I were out this week doing training for real estate agents on social networking. Live training events are great because we get to meet new people in new areas and see what is going on. Many times agents greet us with “This all sounds great but Facebook & all of this social network is for teenagers”. Now that might sounds like a fair assesment at first however let me share conversation we just recently had with a teenager who was helping us get our office organized. For anyone...

Social networking is getting the same “buzz” that blogging received just a couple of years ago.  Does this mean you should abandon your blog or website in favor of social networking? Of course not!

That’s right I said it, embrace work. If you aren’t prepared to build your network then going on facebook, linkedin, twitter, and plaxo is just goofing off. Yes just because you spend time on a social network website doing different tasks doesn’t mean it is work. I am serious about this. If you are going to use social networking to be a valuable part of your business(and it can) you have to have a purpose about it. You must embrace the fact that social networking is the dreaded... 

There are some out there who would but you should know a little bit about the person you are going to be spending some time with before you decide to take your relationship to any other level.

With the explosion of social networking this phrase is rarely uttered verbally.  Now, we see this in the form of an e-mail stating that we have a new “friend request”.  Sometimes we are lucky and it is someone from our past employment or school that we had lost touch with and sometimes we aren’t so lucky. Finding new friends online isn’t as easy as finding some pictures of people that you think look nice and making a request.  Sure they may add you as friend to be nice,...
