The Dark Side Of Listing Properties On Social Networking Sites
Everything has both bright and dark sides, but we couldn’t say something is successful unless it has served its purpose. We go to Facebook to reconnect with old friends. We go to Twitter to say what we are doing. And we go to real estate websites to sell or buy homes. Period.
All Sociable Social networking Sites are dealing with privacy concerns and everybody may agree that it eats up time, effort and cash that could have been invested on marketing properties or locating listings. It’s like a sinkhole that if the person doesn’t have self-control will automatically be lost and will be absorbed in front of the screen forgetting that real estate is not solely done virtually, but also in reality.
Some say that ads on social networking sites are annoying. But the house is always divided when it comes to this – the other side would disagree especially if they spend a lot on mass advertising while the other side whose time is money thinks it’s maddening. Real estate professionals may be well-informed and updated with the ‘next big thing’ but the buyers especially the first time buyers who are young couples might not be that acquainted with the new technology that IT, programmers, or bloggers are writing about.
So, how do you change these negative effects to success? Put the World wide web to do the job for you. Yes, social social networking sites can be employed to market properties that targets specific audience. Yes, home buyers and home sellers can be hip and will have accounts in Facebook, twitter, or Myspace, but let’s face it. Buyers and sellers are serious enough to social network on Facebook and Twitter, but buy from or sell properties on the Internet.
With or without social networking accounts won’t affect your selling real estate, but without Internet presence your real estate business will be negatively affected. Remember that the single biggest factor in selling homes to Internet buyers is the quality of leads and that response time is the main factor that matters.
In spite of the rising recognition of Sociable Media and Sociable Social networking Sites, these sites have confronted a number of threats of hacking. Because these sites is used as an excellent platform for maintaining ties, they can still possess some weak factors that make it a favorite goal of hackers. Well-known social networking sites like Facebook, twitter, LinkedIn, or Myspace require users to store personal or also confidential information, and also give their future goal that can be counterproductive and probably will be employed to commit particular criminal offenses on ones’ property especially when they are away.
