How would you respond to real estate professionals that ask, “What’s social media? What does it have to do with real estate? Why would I or my clients care about creating a social network?”
The Center for REALTOR® Technology is hosting an education session during the REALTORS® Annual Conference & Expo in Orlando, FL. The goal is to cultivate awareness and explore social networking & any related tools that you’ve found useful.
Share your experiences with professionals that may know very little about social networking. Tell ‘em all about being “tweeted.” It’s not as bad as it sounds, is it? If face-to-face networking will never go out of style, what do social on-line networks have to offer? How do you get started on social networks? Are there pitfalls? How do you avoid them? What about social sites that rate REALTORS®? Yep, they are out there!
For those that are already immersed in the world of social networking, how do you take it to the next level? Dare we talk about ROI & business/brand implications? How can social networks foster & grow the REALTOR®-Consumer relationship? Where do sites like LinkedIn, MySpace, etc. come in? How to address difficult situations on social networks? Really, where is social networking going?
How about keeping sane while staying connected. Are there tools that can minimize chaos while allowing you to keep pulse on all your RSS feeds, blogs, etc.? Are they del.icio.us? Others? How do you use them? Are they worth the investment? Do these tools interact with my smartphone, laptop, website, etc? How? Show them how it’s done.
