I met a number of estate agents and brokers in recent months and I am not surprised to see social media as a waste of time. Do not get me wrong, I found a few that need to get it, assumed the risk and configuration of the virtual office, and even open accounts with Facebook and Twitter. Some use these social networks, and some say only that they have used effectively here in Canada, my research shows that most do not practice what it preaches.

It makes recommendations and suggests radical approaches, such as the prospect of an agent and wasted an enormous amount of time with tire-kickers to open events. You look at me with puppy dog eyes and say they could not do it, I do not know how this sounds like too much work. I think it is more difficult way of doing things now, but is taken! If you are an agent or broker who has been in the industry for over 10 years, you may have more difficulty making a paradigm shift. I’m not saying they can not, or not in a position, but I say if you do not, life can be very helpful if the new technology and production of intelligent newcomers to a high level, with very different types of stress. How will you compete and survive?

Let me give an example of something I could do and have fun. I will work on the old school traditional research officer, then the expert new agent.

Old School Officer

The representative of the old school, sitting on the phone rounding up the prospects for hours and hours, then 4 or 5 feet in front of the residence, and even some public events over two weekends in a row. Much time and effort is devoted to such sales, the hard work is important, but the state of the art, why is this? The organization and worried about how no-show or, worse yet, as sure to try to make sure they have a perspective. How to disconnect from the aircraft and buildings, and the list continues. The cost of advertising can be very surprising to convince the setting time, people love to come and this house was, and so on.

The New Tech Savvy Agent

The new tech-savvy agent is elected to office, and what work at home this week to pave the way she sold the dream of home on video. The officer goes and buys a camcorder Flip Mino 2nd Generation to connect to the network, connects to your account UStream.TV, walks through the house and transmits LIVE! They move around and talk about how this house could be multiple records of the event, then you put the video recorded on Ustream, and his blog and look elsewhere for prospects to your taste. The technology of intelligent agents jumped on the social networks that feed on many social networks at once with this new home by the light video.

This new agent perspective, we qualify and they go with him or her, if you’re willing to accept these funds are not the views of himself.

As you can see the new tech-savvy agent has a different risk profile, she spends her time with what he wants and prospects, therefore, is ridiculously easy for them. The prospect that the new tech-savvy agent just to qualify again, less work than the old way the school is the same task. This is only one way to start, sales trends with real estate social media, unless we do not draw baby steps now and make something of this technology. I wonder if real estate is not obsolete, broker and owner at some point they will realize they manage inventory in a less complicated. Of course, people keep things simple valve cover gasket and iPhones.
