The "Who's Who" of the Real Estate Industry to Follow on Social Media - Pinterest

The “Who’s Who” of the Real Estate Industry to Follow on Social Media – Pinterest

With the evolution of the internet over the past 5-10 years, real estate industry professionals have had to drastically change the way they market themselves, their products, and their brand.  Whether a real estate agent is promoting a new listing or a mortgage broker is promoting a new loan product, these professionals must be creative with their marketing efforts.

Not only has the consumer become more and more dependent on the internet for information, but the consumer has also become more and more visually demanding.  So, how does a real estate industry professional become more visual with their marketing efforts?  The first tool and/or website that should be mentioned is Pinterest.

If you’re a real estate industry professional and you’re not using Pinterest, you’re missing out, big time!  Pinterest is an incredible marketing tool for the real estate industry!  Pinterest has a “board” for any person and certainly the real estate industry is no different.  The Pinterest Real Estate Board is just one example of a Pinterest board that is an invaluable tool for real estate industry professionals.

Pinterest, if used correctly, should be a top traffic source for any real estate website.  By interacting, networking, and “pinning” with other top professionals is a great start to building a nice following on Pinterest.  Just like any social media network, interacting, being reciprocal, and being social is one of the keys to building relationships and gaining followers.

Since the first installment of “The “Who’s Who” of the Real Estate Industry to Follow on Social Media – Google Plus” was such a hit, with no further ado, I’d like to introduce the second installment.  This installment will feature those in the real estate industry to follow on Pinterest!

With the help of my friend and top selling Coral Springs, FL real estate agent, Lynn Pineda, I’m happy to introduce the second installment of “The “Who’s Who” of the Real Estate Industry to Follow on Social Media – Pinterest.”  This installment will feature 25 professionals and/or companies who create and “pin” excellent real estate industry related graphics and information on Pinterest!
