If you’re working with a Grand Junction real estate
agent, whether you’re buying a home or selling one, you’re probably armed with
a number of questions for him or her. One question you may not have thought to
ask could help you to determine whether your agent is a genuine go-getter or
just someone who’s going through the motions. It’s simply this: “What online
resources do you use?”
If your agent claims not to have time for
Facebook, consider that a red flag. Think about it – how many times in the run
of any given day do most people check their Facebook? A real estate agent who
isn’t taking advantage of this powerful social media tool is missing the boat
big time. Savvy agents take the time to post, create little mini-blogs, and
generally strut their stuff. A LinkedIn profile is great, but Facebook is where
you connect with the masses.
If a real estate agent says they hang out a
lot at activerain.com, you know they’re on the ball. ActiveRain is a blogging
community where your agent can go to connect with others in the field, find
tips and resources, seek out mentors, and so much more. It’s like a one-stop
shop for free professional development, and no agent worth his or her salt is
going to pass it up.
It’s a bonus if your agent knows about
agentfreebies.com, which offers any number of free tips, courses and tools for
real estate agents. Among other things, there are all sorts of useful apps
including mortgage calculators, photo editors and map creators, plus links to free
skills upgrading sites and more.
If your agent has a presence on Facebook and
ActiveRain, that one’s a keeper. If they don’t know about agentfreebies.com,
clue them in!
