If you Value word of mouth promotion then you'd be amiss to not take advantage of the strength of Social Media, it is Word of Mouth digitized on Steroids 

While normally we will work with pretty much any agent to optimize their site or customize elements when it comes to Social Media promotion we won't. This system of promotion is very powerful in generating word of mouth activity so much so that we need to consider the following when selecting clients whom we will work with.

1. We only want to be responsible for promoting ethical, hard working Real Estate Professionals. We've been on the receiving end of questionable service from a Realtor and are careful not to assist in the promotion of agents who clearly fall into this category
2. Like word of mouth, good news and deeds travel fast but complaints and accusations will spread like wildfire, if you are an agent who engages in questionable tactics, techniques and have a history of dissatisfied customers engaging in social media to any large extent could significantly damage your career. 

NOTE: Consultations are not free, they involve a review of current social media activity, business focus (listing vs buying, niche markets etc.) at the end of which you are provided a written report outlining the recommended courses of action to maximize your Social Network exposure.  From their you have the option to perform the tasks yourself, contact us, hire the neighbors teenager etc. Of course we recommend hiring professionals such as ourselves to ensure the tasks are executed professionally.
