Social Media a Fad I don’t think so.

Written by Michael Fanning

So if you haven’t seen any of the Did you know videos or any of the Social Media Revolution videos you are not opening your mind to just what is going on around us today. I can’t tell you how many times I’m out in the field and here people say things like “Wow why would you waste so much time on facebook?” or “I sale Real Estate I  don’t have time to mess around with stuff like that.”

I would ask you to take a look at some of the videos I have posted in this article and understand that the customer today is moving into the Social Media world much faster then the companies that sell them products and services.  We still haven’t nailed down how to get in the space successfully. There are many good ideas out there but it all starts with education and an understanding of just how big this revolution is. Hopefully some of these videos will help you to better understand what is happening.

Nicely done Mike. History has proven that real estate is a change averse industry. As with most major social, economic, political and innovation shifts, the consumer drives it. Just take a look at the music industry or the Obama election.

Real people always gravitate to the most relevant, useful, logical and useful technologies and businesses. They have always dictated change. Those industries, companies and organizations who recognize and adapt first, win.

More validation, as if it’s necessary. Nothing new here, just more…

Jan you hit the nail on the head. As a Real Estate company we do need to move faster and be nimble to what our customers needs are and make sure we are where they gather. Good points. and thanks for engaging.
