Agree...any acceleration in the space will create market efficiencies, which are good for the market, and in turn the economy. Thanks for the note, @walidmrealtor.

There is a big difference between presence and relevance. There is certainly more so social media than SEO, and/or simply participating in SM. Good points, Bo.

SoMe is important for a CRE advisor for mainly 2 reasons - presence and client value. It can creat presence, no doubt, but the advisor still has to show up, know his/her stuff, and creat a tremendous amount of value or all the tweets in the world are essentially puff. The other critical element that SoMe provides is that I collect a tremendous amount of real-time information that can be very valuable to my clients. I always know the news before I watch it! So now I am an even more critical member of my clients' inner-circles. Thanks Kevin! Kevin – I think you nailed it.

Very thoughtful and well laid out from beginning to end. Let's hope your peers are listening, any acceleration in social media involvement culminating in more commercial transactions will be welcome by the economy at large. Excellent post Kevin!

And the space is quickly moving to "must use" status. As E. Qualman of Socialnomics says, "The ROI of social media for businesses is that they will still be in business in 5 years." Anyway, looking fwd to participating in your CREDAA.com. Thanks for the reply, JW…you’re right about the early adopters leveraging first mover advantage to gain market share and more.

I am certain that your early adoption of new technology has had a positive impact on your earnings. Being an innovator, or early adopter, or being one who is anywhere near the left side of the product diffusion curve certainly comes with risks and headaches, but SM trending towards the early majority. <!--more--> Great to see that you are on the bus.

Toll Thu, 11 Feb 2010 15:59:00 +0000 http://www.maggiacomoblog.com/?p=104#comment-536 Kevin, Well thought out and written article. I agree that we (cre brokers) are behind the curve with social media or technology in general. I starting using ArchView GIS mapping technology in 2004 while practicing with Grubb & Ellis in Orlando to boost my industrial & land practice. Meanwhile during that same time, a few seasoned brokers in my office feared their computer and relied on the fax machine for all non verbal communications. They were unwilling to adapt to email. Bottom line, I look forward to following you on Twitter and reading your future posts. Regards, Jason G. Toll @JGToll Kevin, Well thought out and written article.

I can't read enough about the various applications of social media in commercial real estate. Agree, approaching a social media initiative with an objective in mind, vs. flying by the seat of one's pants or simply winging it, will produce poor results. Your questions above, and your CREOpoint.com meeting point are great places for CRE professionals to start. Looking forward to reading the paper, JC.
