What are your thoughts about the class?
Ashley Hickman:  The class was absolutely fantastic, Tony did a great job, very funny, you know entertaining, I think that, you know four hours went by really-really, very fast.  so I think everybody got a lot out of it, everybody seemed to pass the test with flying colors at the end so obviously he did a great job.

More and more we hear the topic of social media come up. There seems to be similar, but different advice for various industries and how to apply social media to those industries, and the real estate business is no exception. For the real estate professional, social media is actually very important and you can actually social media your way to success. There are, of course, many things to keep in mind when working with your social networks and social media, but with some mindful attention you can make it a great marketing tool.

If you pay attention to your blogging, comments, Facebook posts, and are diligent about getting back to people who post comments to your profiles you will have a massive leg up in communicating with your past and potential customers. This social media trend is a very helpful tool for realtors; it helps extend your reach to prospects.

Keep in mind some basics about social media, such as being original, keeping fresh and up to date content posted, listening to feedback, staying consistent, and doing a little planning. Also, pay attention to your surroundings. Whats going on in your neighborhood or the neighborhoods you have houses listed in? Post information about local events, news, and perhaps causes. People will soon realize you are actually a resource and will continue to visit your site as well as tell their friends about your site, and many of them just might be future clients.

Now we need to let it settle before we can really gauge what the market is doing.

There are a lot of factors to consider when watching the market stabilize. The foreclosures are going to effect surrounding homes and neighborhood prices, which could affect prices for a while yet.
