Social Media is a Realtor’s Best Friend

Social media is a Realtor’s best friend when it comes to finding and connecting with new clients online.

It’s no secret that home buyers and sellers start the process online. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR) 84% of buyers and sellers use the internet to buy or sell a home. They search listings and research local real estate markets. They also research potential Realtors online so every real estate agent needs to establish an online presence and website.

The easiest way to do this is by publishing a  blog. You can set up a free WordPress blog at WordPress or use a free service with a professional real estate theme like Free Realty Blog.

To get free traffic to your blog you need to connect with potential clients on social networks like Facebook, Linked In and Twitter. Each network has millions of members and as much as 50% of your local adult population has a social network account.

Now imagine that you connect with all the home owners in your local area and can send them a message at absolutely no cost whenever you want!

Well, that’s what you can do with social networks and that’s why social media is a Realtor’s best friend.

Inspired by Winston Churchill

During the Second World War, Winston Churchill gave this inspiring speach known as the ” We Sall Fight Them on the Beaches” speach.

Here’s the text from that speach:

4 June 1940 

“I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our Island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone.

At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of His Majesty’s Government-every man of them. That is the will of Parliament and the nation.  

Where to find an Unsecured Personal Loan!

    Who wants a $25,000 Unsecured Personal Loan?

 

By Ross Hair, the Real Estate Advocate

 

The headline says it all. Who wants a $25,000 unsecured personal loan?

 

In the current credit crunch the toughest part of being a real estate investor is finding money to fund your real estate investments. It’s a brutal housing market for most but an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for investors with access to cash.

 

I recently discovered one of the most creative lenders in the lending industry.

 

You’ll never guess who it is?

 

It’s not Chase, Wachovia or B of A!

 

 It’s you. That’s right, it’s you and people just like you.

 

Now before you think I’ve lost my marbles let me introduce you to Prosper, an online community where people come together for person-to-person lending and borrowing of money.

 

Person-to-person (or peer-to-peer) lending isn’t a new idea. It’s been around for centuries and is remains a customary practice in many parts of world. It’s just one person lending to another person. The only difference is that Prosper has organized the whole process and created a wonderfully easy-to-use platform for you to borrow money from and lend money to strangers you’ve never met.

 

Prosper provides the entire underwriting platform and administers the credit process, loan and payment collection.

 

So here’s how it works:

 

 

Borrowing money through Prosper is fast and easy, and because other people can compete for your loan, the rates may be lower than you’d expect!

 

All Prosper loans are unsecured 3-year fully amortized loans. The interest rate is fixed for the life of the loan and does not change in the event of late payment or for any other reason. Fixed monthly payments may be automatically deducted from the borrower’s bank account. Borrowers may prepay any portion of the loan without penalty.

 

What this all means is that you can borrow up to $25,000 as an unsecured personal loan.

 

To facilitate the process I created a lending group on Prosper for Real Estate Investment Association members. The purpose of the lending group is to help lenders determine if they should lend you money. Lenders like to know that you belong to a group with members that have a good repayment history.
