3 Advantages to Using Twitter for the Commercial Real Estate Broker

What are you doing? The question millions of people answer daily in 140 characters or less on Twitter. But the real question is why do people take time out of their day to not only answer this question, but also read how other people in their network are answering this question? A poll taken by Smartbrief showed the majority of followers use Twitter to stay on top of breaking news and trends.



While there is much debate over the effectiveness and sustainability of Twitter, here are 3 advantages of taking time out of your day to answer the infamous question, “what are you doing?”

1. Declare Expertise – Post insightful knowledge about your expertise or market. You will gain respect and trust among your commercial real estate network and in return be privy to their breaking news and market information.

2. Promote Listings –Instantly broadcast your commercial real estate listings or other broker’s listings of interest from the LoopNet property profile. Be respectful of your network and only tweet a listing once unless there is a significant change with the listing.

3. Announce Wants/Needs –Inform your commercial real estate network of specific properties you or your clients are in the market to lease or purchase.
