What Does Social Media Mean for Real Estate?

Tag: Handy Articles, Real Estate MarketJane @ 8:00 am

I started this blog more than a year ago, at a point when the term “social media” meant little more to me than Facebook. I understood that teenagers were online to share pictures and music, but I didn’t understand how that would relate to business. Over the past several months, I’ve been reading more and more about social media.

And you know what I’ve discovered? It is the future. (That, and, I need to catch up.)

This includes the world of real estate. It’s easy to think that we can just keep doing things the way we always have, but, honestly, the Internet has completely changed our ability to communicate and to reach a network of people. If you aren’t participating in the discussion—whether on Twitter or with a blog or at larger networks—you will be left behind.

I realize, obviously, that there are MANY more qualified people out there, blogging and talking about this topic. So here are some excellent resources I’ve come across recently that I can recommend highly. This is a continually changing and expanding field, and I think that’s pretty exciting:
