Facebook/Twitter Update

Just an update on how my pages are doing:

Facebook page almost has 100 fans! Only six more to go. I've been posting a variety of content: open house schedules, pictures of a magazine that has featured us in it, interviews with different real estate agents, events for a community day RE/MAX participated in, and more.

Twitter: trying to get it set up to automatically tweet our new listings for us. TweetLister is a company that does this (it pulls our listings off our MLS provider website and creates a unique tweet for each one) but cost about 20 dollars a month. Trying to get permission from the boss about this, but it's still in the works.

RISMedia

Another thing I have been delegated to work on here at RE/MAX is to aid in the set up our new partnership with RISMedia.. RISMedia is the known "as the residential real estate industry's definitive source for news and information for real estate's most profitable and productive professionals–and all those looking to gain a competitive edge." or, at least that's what they claim on their website.

Through this new partnership we get daily and monthly newsletters to send to our agents, customized press releases to send out, a section on our own website with real estate news, a mobile version of our website, the ability to set up texting for house listings, and more. Learn more about this cool feature here.

Getting RE/MAX situated with this company has been a long process though. I've been the main contact between RISMedia and RE/MAX and have been the one turning things in and making sure we do what we need to on time. This has included writing a company referral and service profile, coordinating the interview with Tom Skiffington (owner) and RISMedia for an article in Real Estate Magazine, uploading all of the agents information to RISMedia so they can get situated on the texting feature, sending press releases to newspapers, customizing newsletters, etc. Lots of start-up work, but hopefully soon we will get everything set into place!
