With 300 million people on Facebook, 50 million people on LinkedIn, and 22 million on Twitter, social media is here to stay. That is why we are using this exploding medium to market your home or to find you your home.

The widespread adoption of technology and the Internet are dramatically changing every aspect of people's lives including how they shop for new homes. Research shows that over 85% of all consumers will use or plan to use the Internet to shop for a home in the next two years.

For homebuilders, it opens up an entirely new way to present and promote their homes. For prospective homebuyers, it offers unprecedented access to information and options at their fingertips.

Social Marketplace is Where It's At

 

Social-media tools are free, though they require a substantial amount of time to master and bring in business value. These social networks can draw in potential customers.  Don't be fooled by the term "social" when referring to these networks...business is being done at these sites because that is where the customers are.  Have a look at the charts on this page, you might be surprised by the demographics of the people that are using these tools.

As of September 2009, 54% of internet users have a wireless connection to the internet via a laptop, cell phone, game console or other mobile device.

Google and Bing Race to Search Social Media

We are constantly working on our website, enhancing the content and otimizing it for higher rankings on all search engines here is an example  Google, Yahoo, Ask.com

Video Channels

"Both Bing and Google have tapped Twitter to serve up real-time tweets as a part of search results pages. Bing’s product is already live, and while it’s a separate web page from the Bing.com homepage, it’s a really impressive web and Twitter search mashup, with constantly refreshing tweets. Article

Soon Google too will include tweets as a part of the search experience, but their plan is to include tweets within the standard Google search experience. According to their blog post on the news, “the next time you search for something that can be aided by a real-time observation, say, snow conditions at your favorite ski resort, you’ll find tweets from other users who are there and sharing the latest and greatest information.” Source
