Facebook your Listings (the right way) - via Mike Mueller

Mike Mueller is doing some advanced customization with the RealBird Facebook application for his clients. Beautiful !

You can connect with Mike at www.AreWeConnected.com

 

Via Mike Mueller (Tech and Social Media Consultant):
One of the first questions I get asked by an Agent who wants a Custom Facebook Business Page created is “Can you pull in my listings – here’s my IDX Feed

The answer is No!

"Pretty Please?"

Still No.

Not because I don't want to. You see... Facebook does not like dynamic content in custom tabs and guess what your IDX feed is? Yup! “Dynamic”.

But wait there’s a workaround and a very pretty one at that. The folks over at RealBird have a slick application.

How slick? Check this out:

Play with it LIVE on Debbi Di Maggio, Piedmont Real Estate

If you have a Facebook Business Page and want something like this for yours – just contact me.

Mike, I'm using this blog as a good example of a blog in the notes I'm sending to attendees from the webinar I did today at Virtual RE Bar Camp. Hope that's OK with you. :-)

Very well done.  We will print this one out and add it to our list of marketing tools.  Thanks

OK since I am setting up all new websites and facebook pages Mike is next on my list to call.  Of course with the next two days fully booked it is going to be Friday.  Thanks for the post though.

Good info.  I just started my page and will get that one for sure.

Mike and Zoltan - this is great. I need a block of time to get it into action - but it is on my TASK list now.

Posted by Kathryn Gorham Emerald Isle NC Crystal Coast (Sun Surf Realty) over 2 years ago

Hello Zoltan, I thought it would be tougher than it was to get your application onto FB.  Now, to know that it can be even jazzier just blows me away.  Thanks!

OK. I added it to the invite list. Most people I invited got the actual access to the Wave within a few days. Let me know when you are in, though I'll see it as well. We have a group of RE people trying to figure out the Wave together. It's fun !

Thanks

OK Zoltan...I really want to take the Real Bird approach. Even more, I want to be able to post on Facebook, as demonstrated in the video.  Hasn't been more than several months since someone on AR wrote that a fast way to have one's Facebook account closed is to use the personal pages for business advertising. So I don't advertise on my personal pages. However, i tried to sign up on Facebook to get a business page. Facebook clearly says "you cannot have more than one account."  Do you know anything about this?

Posted by Sherry Siegel, Managing Broker, EcoBroker, ABR (BrokersGroup, serving Sequim and Port Angeles) over 2 years ago

Hi Sherry - You can create a Facebook Page using your current FB account. No need for a new Facebook account. Just log in to Facebook as usual, then go to http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php and follow the simple instructions on that screen. Make sure you select the correct Page category and a title that reflects your business.

Thanks
