Finding You on the Internet - Realtors

 How important is social networking for real estate agents? In today’s market social networking is increasingly getting more important. What you post about yourself is really the first impression perspective clients have. Many employers have easy access to social media and use it to decide if they want to hire you or not.  Are the photos you have up on Facebook something you would want a future employer to have of you or how about a future client? As a tech savvy person, you can find out practically anything about everything online.

Home buyers and sellers are doing all their research on the internet first before contacting a DFW real estate agent. It makes our jobs easier and tougher all at the same time. The act of searching for Dallas foreclosures or non-foreclosure  homes is the building block for developing a working relationship. Perspective buyers and sellers have already met you online and have gotten to know your profile. You only get one chance to make a good impression.  Your first chance was online, so don’t screw it up when you meet them in person.

Just as your perspective client knows your profile. As an agent, you should do a little detective work and see if they have an online profile on Facebook, My Space, Linked in, Google+, etc. You would be surprised at how easy to see a photo of them and find out what their likes are. You can quickly find out who they are and it will help you relate to them when you meet face to face.
