Wow - it's been a good long time since I've been on ActiveRain.  Having spent the better part of 2008-2009 investigating all sorts of social and new media, training real estate agents for my company (locally), and continuing to ramp up my real estate biz (sales and BPO's), it's been kinda crazy! ...

Sometimes, real estate agents do more than simply real estate sales. Sometimes, some real estate agents go to classes for continuing education (outside of the required CE). Or, the agent may present key facts about market conditions to a group of interested local businesses or residents or onlin...

Here' a question - and I will have an answer later in the post - who is buying homes by using social/new media? Is it truly Gen Y or Gen X?

Yanno, you can live on a laptop. Or at least near a laptop. A little tiny palm tree, drink with umbrella, bowl of snacks and a dinghy nearby while your toes rub the warm sand, and it could be daaaays before you lift your head from the heady environs of Twitter, email, blogging and podcasting. So....

www.podcampohio.com - I went expecting a lot and came away with more than expected. Registered early so as to get a Tshirt, I put a badge on my web site (see sidebar), stuck a sticker on my car window (I felt soooo 60's!!).  Hungry for more information on Social and New Media, I wished for 2 day...

I get all the time "I'm happy where I am, I love my company" with people's brokerages when I talk to folks with whom I co-op. And they don't go any further.
