Real estate professionals use social media for outreach and new applications to help you manage your social media and marketing output are rolling out all the time. If you are adventurous and do not mind switching things around now and them, you can try social media tools until you find the one or ones that work best for you.

If you find that you have a hard time keeping track of contacts, you might want to try Flowtown. This application does digging for you and presents you with the results. If you have someone's e-mail address, Flowtown can tell you their name, age, gender, location and the social networks they use.

Users get a separate profile page for all of their contacts once the service had combed the web for this information. Of course, if you feel like this is snooping, then this service is not for you. If you do not mind this kind of information gathering, then you can let Flowtown help you keep up with your clients. You can leverage this information as you wish, with the idea being that you use it to personalize your communication.

Follr helps organize your presence on multiple social media platforms using a virtual Social Card. The Social Card is kind of like a business card for the internet age--it combines your social media and online activity. And especially for real estate professionals, Follr offers an Enhanced Real Estate Social Card that promises to link your property-search sites and others with the Social Card. It is also helpful for anyone who manages a team of real estate professionals because there is a Team Platform. Employers can use it to monitor the social card activities of multiple employees. Follr aims to be your a one stop shop and users are encouraged to give out their follr social card address rather than information on their e-mail address, blog URL.  Facebook page and LinkedIn,Twitter, Tumblr and Youtube accounts

Those who think that social media is getting in the way of face-to-face interactions may have a valid point in reference to personal relationships. However, when it comes to marketing and sales, the explosion of social networking tools has been helpful, not harmful. 

When it comes to getting the word out about homes you are selling, the more people you talk to, the better...even if you do not actually speak to them yourself. Perhaps we should say, the more people you are in communication with, the better. As a real estate professional, it is your job to get the word out, not only by tapping into your own network, but by making efforts to reach out to networks of people you who are not so familiar with as well.

There really isn't one social networking tool that people use for personal interactions that cannot be used for business too.

For example, we recently heard a great story about how a real estate agent used a number of different social media outlets to make a sale when things were looking rather bleak.

An agent who is about to sell a home that is priced to move via a bank-approved short sale might be feeling good, right? The agent we heard about was until the bank hesitated and the buyer balked. Then after bank's stalling caused the buyer to back out, the bank decided that it wanted to put the home into foreclosure.

The real estate agent decided to take matters into his own hands...literally. He used his own flip camera to make a video of the home and uploaded it to YouTube...and the story does not end there. This real estate agent really decided to go the extra mile.

After posting the video online, he used his website, blog, FriendFeed and Facebook to publicize the video and the sale. After getting a good number of views on YouTube, he was able to get his client 4 offers to consider.
