My Lesson in Social Networking

I thought I'd write today about something that happended to me a couple of weeks ago when I was showing homes to some first time homebuyers. It taught me somethings about the power of social networking.

We had a busy day looking at about 12 homes. We saw a lot of funny attempts at staging....face tvs, blow up matresses for beds, wine and cheese, etc. At the last home there was an unfinished basement and in it sat a small end table with a table cloth and some lipstick, makeup, a mirror and a brush. It was as if you'd come into this dungeon of a basement and apply makeup in preparation for a nigh on the town. Kinda funny, huh.

Anyway, my client took a picture with his I phone and we all were laughing as the day ended. When I got home, he had 'friend' requested me on Facebook, and 'tagged' me in the photo of the makeup table. It ended up on my Facebook 'wall' and theirs. The comments started coming in from my clients 'friends' and mine.

It struck me that I should learn and write about this. I'm sure some of my Facebook 'friends' from out of town had been reminded what I do. I could see what friends of my clients were interested in real estate by their comments. It also let people know that I was busy selling real estate (which I am). From now on I've got to remember to 'friend' request my clients and bring my camera along for showings...Hmmmm
