Twitter and Facebook for Real Estate Agents

February 24, 2011 by Peter Fletcher

I conducted Twitter and Facebook for Real Estate Agents yesterday. As the course involved hands on computing it was interesting to see the variety of skills on display.

I was thrilled to see the lights come on for some. Where once they were thinking that social media as just another way to advertise property now they could see how it could be used far more effectively as a relationship development tool.

I deliberately mixed the day up starting out with Twitter. We used the #tweetreiwa hashtag and this allowed the participants to interact with one another via Twitter. At one stage that hashtag was a trending topic in Perth. One of the participants even received a tweet from someone outside the course asking why so many agents were getting involved with social media.

It was fun to see outsiders getting involved, something that didn’t happen once we got onto Facebook. I now wish I had kept them tweeting throughout the course of the afternoon.

The Twitter widget on this post contains all tweets containing the #tweetreiwa hashtag, which will give students a resource to refer back to after the course.

    Thanks Charlie. Yes, it was great to see some people switching onto Twitter. Have had a few follow up tweets today. It’s nice to see people maintaining the effort.

    I think I have seen 3 or 4 follow up tweeters from that day, perhaps they are too busy listing and selling to get on, unlike me…

    Yes, it was great to see a few make the effort to do some follow up tweets. Let’s hope they keep it up long term. Maintaining a presence on Twitter doesn’t take long and I know from the experience of some agents that it generates business. Keep it up.
