Podcast: The State of Social Media in Real Estate

Posted on May 7, 2010 by Michael Price

socmedI had the opportunity recently to engage in a fantastic conversation with 3 thought leaders. Their knowledge and experience regarding the impact of technology, the web and social media as it relates to contemporary real estate professionals generated over an hour of thought provoking views and information.

Marc Davison – 1000Watt Consulting
Jeff Turner - Zeek Interactive / Real Estate Shows
Bill Lublin – C 21 Advantage Gold / BuzzBuilderz / Social Media Marketing Institute

Our discussion takes a look at the past, present and future of the effect that social media has on broker and agent business models (good and bad). I think you will find it very engaging and informative.

    Enjoyed the podcast. I agree, social media has taken it's proper place, and that being simply another option for marketing, not the end all.

    This was a great podcast. there is so much to say. I love the contrasting points of view. Is social media worth it? Absolutely. A majority of RE agents don't know how to use it, but that will change over time. Example: My wife and I met a Realtor. She friended us on Facebook. Months later my wife posts that we were looking for a new home on Facebook. The Realtor saw it in her feed and sent my wife a Facebook message, long story short she got the sale. She also stays in touch and comments when my wife talks about how much she loves the house. All of my wife's friends see these posts and comments. She sold a home while advertising and that sale created a free testimonial from my wife and I saying “Great job by (Realtor name), love our new home.” My wife and i combined have over 1,000 friends. That's not advertising, that's free press.

    This is so great. Social media is incredibly important these days. Not just in regards to real estate, but every business venture!

    This is an innovation all real estate business agencies should adopt, improve and fully manifest since it gives technological leverage on almost every aspect of information management.
