I'm all a 'twitter...my clients are too...despite some stats I've read that only 25% of the US population even knows what Twitter is. I would venture to guess that almost 100% of my clients either tweet or follow me on Twitter.


If you have no clue what I'm talking about, go to Twitter and check out it out. It's basically a social network that allows folks to stay in touch in real time through short messages via any device that has Internet access.

How do I communicate with my buyers and sellers using Twitter?

• There is a link on my website that keeps folks up to date on my schedule for the day. I do my best to return phone calls within 10 minutes. If I don't return a call, clients can easily go to the Twitter link on my website or follow me directly on Twitter and see why;
• Great Finds is another useful tool...I preview dozens of homes each week....I can easily attach a photo or video while I'm at the property. Since inventory is low at the moment, it's a speedy tool to get prospective buyers into a home and into contract if it's right for them.
• Realtor Life...I try to update what I'm doing throughout the day. In addition to meetings, classes, signings, previewing homes, listing presentations and more...the fact that I am a musician (guitar, fiddle, mandolin, vocals) and a squash player...in addition to playing on the Atomic Fireballs kickball team, seems to makes me relatable - according to my clients!

Consumers have dozens of choices when it comes to hiring a Realtor to either buy or sell a home. Tools like Twitter, when used appropriately, can set you apart from the rest of the pack.  

How NOT to use Twitter

• DON'T post every listing...if it's a celebrity home, or it's something unique, that's a different story....
• REMEMBER that both your friends and your clients will see these tweets....don't tweet something you wouldn't want your grandmother to read;
• DON'T tweet more than 10 times a day...no one is that interesting;
