Facebook for big money

Now that the phenomenon of online social networking that has emerged in many areas of business today is finally gaining popularity in real estate. real state agents are using websites like facebook and myspace to stay in front of their sphere of influence and are receiving large rewards for it. i interviewed an agent that came to work for our real estate firm and she told me that she would pay $5,000 a year for facebook if it costs that much. She told me that she couldn't afford not to. She has received 8 transactions this year already from facebook and people should knew from up north that are moving to Florida to buy real estate. Her clients are fiercely loyal and she is having the opportunity to reconnect to them and explain where she is and what she is doing. It is very difficult in real estate to keep up with past clients and future leads to make sure they remember you when they go to buy or sell. Social networking sites allow to stay in front of your clients without having to solicit them. It is revolutionizing the way that businesses advertise. It is a phenomenal way to stay in touch with current and past clients.
