Facebook and Real Estate

You know a while back I was not much into facebook or any of the other social networking sites out there. I felt they were cheesy and only for young people. I thought I was way too old to be on these types of sites. Boy was I completely wrong. About 6 months ago I joined www.facebook.com and started to see all my old friends from back home. Ones that I have not seen or spoke to in over 15 years. I was amazed to be able to get back in touch with these people. Then one day it dawned on me. I thought to myself why not integrate facebook with my real estate investing business. At the time I had lots of connections in my field but now I have over 800 people I network with and most of them are involved in real estate in some form or fashion. Now a days when I get properties under contract I immediately post it to my facebook account and I get people interested in it. The moral of this post is never discount the power of social networking. It has truly changed the way I do business.
