There is still a perception that much of
social media is for our teenage kids and
singles looking for dating opportunities.
However, I see it as an effective tool tokeep your network of clients, tenants
and investors as well as the real estate
community at large more informed, to give
their properties more exposure and receivetheir feedback as to what is relevant to
their business.
