I don't mean to say that the info in those other "press releases" is not valid or even interesting; it's just that the way it's presented is no different than a "News" or "Press" button on a website. Think in terms of telling the same stories in a more casual and personal way and I think you'll have even better results from your social media efforts.

I'd imagine the pros would significantly outweigh the cons if a builder's agent owned search results in their local market. It would only require some ground rules (like Jim's above), a little regulation and tad bit of money to get the ball rolling. I always wonder why one would hire someone to represent a company if they were afraid of them actually representing the company. Do you know if Lennar has experienced an increase in sales from their online efforts? Great post Mike – Home builders truly are missing opportunities by not encouraging agents to “get online”.

I have been working on implementing social media into my builders marketing plan for quite a while. We just went "live" with our social media page on our website. Take a look and let me know what you think. http://costapacific.com/socialnetworks.php Andy Green Mike,
