I think that it is definitely more difficult for defining a clear strategy when it comes to participating in social media. However, there are great sites like ARG Interactive that integrates with LinkedIn, so that real estate reps can use social selling to make warmer sales. ARG interactive provides CRM, marketing automation and interactive web site solutions to mortgage companies, banks and credit unions. Mortgage companies and banks use ARG’s proprietary CRM, marketing automation and lead generation technologies to acquire new customers and retain existing customers. You should check it out. <a href="http://tinyurl.com/2adttqr" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/2adttqr</a> . See if you agree. Great post, Peter.

As pointed out in some comments it only another tool but remeber your other marketing effeorts should highlight your Social Network market. Real Estate industry spend huge amount on advertising in other media so it is obvious those medias work for them so you would say building relation ship with clients though social networking may not see benifit strait away but this industry knows that you dont become successfull overnight. I am sure property investors would be one market group that would get involved in social networking with Real Estate agents.

For those who believe it is an overt marketing tool or advertising medium, watch how quickly you get blocked and or tuned out (facebook, myspace). For those who want to stay in touch and be infront of that segment of their sphere that integrates this into their lives, be active, participate, and connect. The returns will come. The contacts will increase. Being present but passive....not so much. Just some thoughts from the trenches....peace...

Negative comment feedback - due to my own transparency though- I don't regulate my comments, and I'll admit lack of knowledge on what I wrote- but overall it's a personal page, not business related!! But I took it on as something positive, I even wrote a blog about it! hehe... I also had some really great things happen just through blogging and networking - I have been linked in with some VIP that have stumbled across my blog, inviting me to their parties and wanting to know more about me... So there is always a bright side :) you are right! - but who says blogging doesn't make you cool? HA - no, really it's just putting your own voice into the world, and whether people are going to like it or hate it is out of your control. well Fletchy, I like the pro and con approach.. and to be honest, I had my first con experience on my own blog today!

For social media marketing to be effective you need to work out who you want to talk to, what you want to say and who you want to talk to you. Sure, it's great creating a community but if they're not in the market for what you're offering then you're wasting your time.
