Despite having a name very similar to CRT’s, the Center for Real Estate and Social Technologies (CREST) aims to be “the definitive research and education resource for social technologies in the real estate business, conducting surveys and other projects to generate benchmarks and best practices that REALTORS® can employ to improve their social networking, blogging, and social media marketing efforts.” To attain that goal, CREST announced themselves and launched their first survey over on VARbuzz yesterday.
If you’re a REALTOR® who write and maintains your own blog, the first survey is aimed at you. Why don’t you toss them some answers?





Thanks for the link, Keith. The survey is incredibly brief, it should only take 5 minutes to complete. The more submissions we get, the more accurate and useful the results will be. `preciate your support!
