I'm gonna talk about how consumer tastes and habits have changed & why the role of Visual Marketing is on the rise (especially in an era when even 140 characters is now too long! Who reads now?!)

Herman Advises Bankrate.com How to Size Up a Realtor Online 

01/30/2013

0 Comments

 
Bankrate.com asked me how to vet realtors in a web 2.0 world. Read the full article How to Size Up a Real Estate Agent Online by Michael Estrin for some great tips! Some of my more memorable quotes: 
  • "All of my clients, especially the younger ones, are very plugged in," says Herman Chan, a second-generation real estate professional in San Francisco. "That's just how the business works today. It's not like when my mom was an agent, and all you really had was advertising and word of mouth."
  • "If they don't have a strong online presence, they're dinosaurs," Chan says.
  • "Facebook and Twitter give you a sense of someone's personality," Chan says. "I don't think my clients pick me because of what they see on Facebook or Twitter, but I do think they use those sites to figure out if I'm someone they want to spend a lot of time with."

Business 2 Community sat down with me for their "Expert Interviews" series. They asked me 6 questions about social media & real estate, including what is the biggest challenge facing your industry, what is the method/inspiration to your blogging success, what do you think is the future of social media & more! Real estate has been slow to catch up on this but it is about time everyone embraced it. No one want to be the dinosaur agent faxing offers...am I right?!

Congrats to Zoritha Thompson who won the iPad drawing!
After my smash hit appearance at the Sacramento Association of Realtors for AREAA, the self proclaimed "real estate diva deal-maker" Dao Tran & I dish about real estate. (We met one year ago! Dao, where's my anniversary ring??)

During my presentation, I searched on twitter for SF Realtor, and amazingly, I found a tweet from a guy who needed help relocating to SF. I live tweeted him on stage, and by end of my chat, he tweeted me back to contact him. Awesome new lead!

Silicon Valley Exec Goes Bonkers! Offers his Estate for Facebook Pre-IPO Stock!

Bay Citizen/New York Times called me last week for my take on a rumor that San Francisco sellers were waiting to list their homes until after the Facebook IPO. They are allegedly counting on thousands of newly minted millionaires and all cash offers on their homes. Rumor or not, Facebook fever is hitting a feverish pitch. One Silicon Valley executive is willing to trade his 10,000 sq ft 11 acre home in Los Gatos for a stake in Facebook! Are you freaking kidding me? Has the Bay Area gone bonkers or is Facebook really that valuable?!
