Why Does Sheila Conkling Use Social Networking?

There is a fundamental shift taking place in the way people communicate and I work diligently to stay abreast of the changes.

10 years ago were you on Myspace?
5 years ago were you on Facebook?
2 years ago were you on Twitter?

Think back over your lifetime at the changes that have occured in electronics, medical advancements, and communication. Change is scary...BUT necessary, and that is the reason I constantly work to be ahead of the pack in real estate.

When it comes to change, there are 3 kinds of people:
1. People that make it happen.
2. People that watch it happen.
3. People that say "when did that happen?"




Here are just a handful of the ways I promote my client's homes through social media:

Facebook profiles
•Facebook fanpages
•Targeted Facebook ads
•Twitter - coming soon
•Blogging
•Custom designed website of each listing & linked to all the above

Of course I do all the "normal" things too like MLS, flyers, yard signs, website tours, open houses, realtor tours, and more. These marketing systems for social media are just a few ways I will market your property differently from most agents, to the widest possible audience.

For more information on how I can market your home and get you the highest price in the shortest amount of time, call me today at 870-219-0652.
