Social Networking for Estate Agents


Social networking is something that is difficult to avoid. It is an online community that share interests or activities with each other. They give users a wide variety of ways to interact such as e-mail instant messages or even sharing of pictures. Below are descriptions of the popular social networks that are being used by the UK.

Facebook – The most popular in the UK for socialising. Estate agents can create a ‘Fan page’ for their business where their customers can become a ‘fan’ to show to their social networking and also interact with the estate agent.

Twitter – Currently the fastest growing social network in the world. Twitter is known as a micro-blogging website as well as a social network as users send messages to each other that are a maximum of 140 characters in length. Each message is known as a ‘Tweet’ and users will directly get other people’s ‘tweets’ by clicking a button to follow them. If you are currently using twitter, follow us at www.twitter.com/RTechniques or contact us for setting up a Twitter profile.

LinkedIn – A business orientated social networking website. This website enables its users to create and maintain a list of business contacts that they know and trust. Users create a profile which is very similar to a CV where they can show connections to the people they know and even recommend each other. Have a look at Troy Stanley’s profile.
