Inman Connect San Francisco a Success

August 3rd, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

Although I have been back for over a week now, I am finally feeling fully recovered from my exciting time at Inman Connect San Francisco.

One of the big highlights for me was seeing Benn and Lani (the mad scientists behind Agent Genius) win the Inman Innovator Most Innovative Blog award, especially since I write over there as well.

It’s All About Relationships

Another great aspect of the week was seeing the real life success of online social networking.  I frequently teach Portland real estate professionals about the benefits of online social networking via sites like Facebook, ActiveRain, LinkedIn, Trulia Voices, Flickr and Twitter.  Unfortunately, I am not a REALTOR® (sorry for yelling) and I don’t have the opportunities to play with these in a real-life manner.  At Inman Connect, however, I was able to meet with many people I had met online (and who are incredibly great people offline as well) who were able to share their varied success stories they’ve had marketing themselves and real estate online.

I will be highlighting some of these real estate movers and shakers as they share their success stories with me in an effort to better educate the Portland real estate community that there is a fountain of opportunity waiting for you and all it will cost you is a little bit of your time.

An Offer for You

If you work in the real estate profession in the greater Portland area and you have a success story with online marketing, please let me know and I’ll happily feature you here as well!

    You’re so modest, Nick… You’re more than a writer, you’re an outstanding asset to the modern agent. Your perspective on a challenging landscape such as ours is insanely brilliant and Lani and I are so glad we got a chance to meet you personally.

    Best Regards, Benn

    Indeed,online social networking is very usefull. I do not know about real estate but I experience its efficiency in many other businesses.

    Nick,

    It was really cool to get to meet you in person. One of the interesting things about meeting people in person that you have previously met online is that, while you feel like you already know them, you are able to discover a lot more about them very quickly. It speeds up the entire relationship building process exponentially.

    I am glad that we had the chance to hang out and talk real estate (among other things), and I hope that we get to do it again soon.

    I find it difficult to keep up with the different social sites. I have friends asking me when I will update this site or that one. Twitter is the easiest because I can use text messages. I look forward to your success stories.
