Twitter and all of it's applications are simply amazing. Today one of the local real estate agents that I follow posted this tweet announcing her adorable listing.
I had to check it out and this is how I learned about Tweetlister. Tweetlister allows you to promote listings and rental properties. The screen shot below is actually our North Admiral home which has recently become available to rent.
Tweetlister allows you to schedule when and how often you want your property "re-tweeted". You can upload photos and have the home's walk-score included. It is super quick and easy to do.
This promotes your listings to your "followers" on Twitter and allows others to re-tweet and share with their followers. Plus, you can send your tweet's unique URL back to your client to show them how extra-special your talents are.
You can learn more stuff like this at the upcoming RE Barcamps: Seattle's is coming up on September 8, 2009 and Bellevue has a mini-Barcamp on October 6, 2009.
Long Time No Post
It happens. I've been busy with my day job, family, talking to Real Estate Professionals about social media...just returned from RE Bar Camp in Chicago... I've been a little busy but I don't want to neglect this blog and my two or three readers.
So here's a quick update of what's going on... I've recently accepted the opportunity to Chair the (newly created) Social Media Committee for the Washington Association of Mortgage Professionals. I'm hoping to help
my competitionlocal mortgage professionals survive thrive in this market by learning about some tools to stay connected with their clients. So far, I've built a social intra-net (a Ning) for WAMP and I recently did a presentation at Safeco Field on Social Media along with David Gibbons of Zillow and Adam Stein. It's flattering and if I can help my mortgage brothers and sisters, I'm happy.RE Bar Camp in Chicago was great. What an amazing city. Right now, one of my favorite bits I learned at this event was get clicky. It's a tool that analyzes your blog/website -- it's free and very easy to use. Check it out!
Some ideas at Bar Camp caused me to make some minor tweaks... with my blog, I moved my greeting video up to the right corner and removed my static photo...the video is getting more comments and activity all ready. I also used my www.rhondaporter.com url which I had pointed to my blog, redirected to my Facebook page (not to be confused with the profile). My blog still has the url www.mortgageporter.com. We'll see how this experiment pans out.
I also decided to pick up a "netbook". I wanted a mini-computer to use for presentations--I don't like lugging my laptop around. For under $300, you can get a mini-computer that's lighter; less fussy than a computer and bigger than trying to type on your super smart cell phone. I'm writing this post from this new toy....just another tool to stay connected.
