Facebook and Real Estate Agent Marketing
I’m reading a couple of articles today, one from a consultant to the real estate industry and another from an industry reporter about real estate agents using Facebook to gain more business.

Getting a Google Profile is Good for Business

If you are trying to establish yourself and create a presence on the Internet, google recently unveiled google profiles.

Donald Trump – Advice for New Real Estate Agents
I like Donald Trump. Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on your perspective, I don’t watch much TV so I’ve have to admit that I don’t watch The Apprentice. In fact the only time I ever watched was to tune into see Gene Simmons, and he got ‘You’re Fired’ the next show. He was pretty arrogant and off the mark for the show I watched, but in his world, he really was not arrogant, he was just being Gene Simmons. Shame because Simmons in my opinion is a business and marketing genius.

We’ll first of all is a blog post on TrumpUniversity about the very subject of this post and to date the comments are pretty enlightening, and second based on my exposure offering real estate marketing products to agents, I’ve noticed some patterns. I’m sure I’ll explore it more and more on this blog, but for now this is a good place to start.
I’ll pose the question here and the Donald’s answer, and you can go to the post to read the comment.
