Realty Agents

Build your own online community resource and social network

Ning is promoted as a program that can help you create your own social network. This month Ning passed the 200,000 social network mark and is growing at the rate of over 1,000 social networks per day.  Ning wasn’t developed with real estate in mind, but I suspect it is a program that real estate agents will embrace once they discover it. I recently canceled a very expensive community website in favor of Ning at a fraction of the cost.  So far, the comments from the public about my Ning site have been favorable and I’m on my way to building my online community.

(The RE/MAX branded version was called Agent 2000 back then). For those new to contact management software (CRM), I’ve written about how I organize my database on my Real Estate Solutions Blog.

Sometimes you find a little program that makes your business life so much simpler.  LogMeIn.com is one of those programs.  Imagine that you live several miles from your office.  You’ve just driven home and realize that you forgot to copy some files from your office computer to bring home with you.  You could jump back in your car, drive back to the office… OR… sit down at your computer at home and go to LogMeIn.com, sign in and log directly on to your office PC.  Trip saved… Time Saved… Money Saved!  Did I mention that LogMeIn.com is FREE?  Read on....
