The Benefits of Belonging to an Online Community

Online communities are readily accessible for free on various websites such as Facebook and LinkedIn. But what are the advantages of participating in these communities?

Key Benefits of Participating in Online Communities:

• Keeps you informed

• Opportunity to share ideas, techniques and expertise with other real estate Professionals

• Serves as a resource – large audience waiting for your questions when you have a question on any of the community members’ expertise

• Provides a vehicle for creating an online “presence”

Participating in an online community will give other real estate professionals around the world an opportunity to learn from your contributions. If you consistently contribute to the community, other members will begin to “know” you based on your postings. You will establish a trust and confidence with other Community members and this will lead to referrals.
