3. Social Media…
• Isn’t anything new! It is just being social/connecting in a
different place.
• Is a place to be seen and remind people who you are, and
that you have certain skillsets and expertise.

4. Facebook - Why Even
Bother?

Facebook is another place to meet people and connect. For free.

5. The Goal
• Beyond the social, to establish/brand yourself as the local
real estate expert
• People work with other people that they know, like, and
trust – and who are top of mind when they are ready to act
• Facebook can help people get to know you and help you
stay in front of them in a regular, non-invasive way

then ask yourself:
What will they want to
hear?

You will not use your personal timeline primarily for your
own commercial gain, and will use a Facebook Page for
such purposes.

• Don’t say anything online that you wouldn’t say in a
crowded room
• Avoid drama and negativity
• Once it’s out there, it’s out there

33. “Start by being yourself. However customers relate to you
in person is how they should ideally relate to you online,
says Gama. “My number one tip is that whatever your
personality is in real life, make that shine online as well,”
she advises.”
