If you’re in the real estate industry and you love social media then you need to follow the five best real estate social media blogs. Like the name suggests the blogs are all about how you use social media to grow your real estate business.
Here’s the list:
Shameless Honorary Mention
I’m not allowed to vote for myself so I added my blog at http://rosshair.com to the list under the honorary mention category. This also meets the FTC requirements that mandate the inclusion of at least one bald guy with an ironic yet iconic last name in all lists that have anything to do with real estate social media.
Tech Savvy Agent
Chris Smith is the Tech Savvy Agent and a regular speaker at Social Media Marketing Camp. Chris has a cult like following derived from his countless speaking engagements all over the nation and his charming boy band good looks.
But most of all you get the latest news and reviews on critical social media and real estate tools and resources that will help you grow your real estate business.
Real Tech Guy
Jonathan Rivera is the Real Tech Guy and founder of the Real Estate Referral Group on Facebook with over 54,000 fans.
Jonathan and I disagree on everything except that his blog and weekly podcasts provide cutting edge social media and technology tips for real estate professionals Read more..
13 of My 15 Real Estate Listings Came From Video Marketing

I interviewed Dean Oullette from Thompson Realty in Phoenix, Arizona about the role that video marketing played in his real estate business.
“13 out of of my 15 current listings came from video marketing” said Dean.
It’s a story that I hear again and again as we prepare for SMMCamp 7 – Video Marketing for Real Estate on Thursday January 20 at 12 Noon Eastern.
Every speaker at SMMCamp has a similar story to tell and are all huge fans of video marketing and its positive impact on their business.
Keith and Shannon French of Buy Baltimore Properties credit video marketing with doubling their closed sales. Josh Aberson with Hegg Realtors in Sioux Falls, South Dakota video blogs as often as possible and Jim Duncan of Nest Realty Group dominates his local real estate market through video.
And they’ll show you exactly how they do it at SMMCamp this Thursday.
