Nov. 13, 2009 - Current Real Estate Technology Marketing Techniques.

The latest addition to our real estate technology tool chest consists of adding more and more advertising networks and becoming members of social networking. We really like being members of LinkedIn which allows us to communicate with professional colleagues and other industry experts. This association also benefits our sellers and buyers by making us and our listings more prominent on the web.

 Some of the web sites we are presently using with very positive results are: www.backpage.com, www.click2city.com, www.CraigsList.com, www.FindMyRoof.com, www.HouseList.com, www.Trulia.com, www.Zillow.com, www.ActiveRain.com, www.Kijiji.com and www.Point2Agent.com .  (The Point2Agent site syndicates to most of the previous sites as well as many others).
 
We are receptive to hearing what others are doing and their results.
