20 Real Estate PROs To Follow On LinkedIn - The Who's Who[/caption] LinkedIn is an excellent social media website for many reasons. What I especially like about LinkedIn is that you will not find out what your friends ate for breakfast or that they just celebrated their dogs first birthday. LinkedIn is a place to connect with like minded professionals and find quality content and information. Another perk to LinkedIn is that you find very few real estate professionals who will blast their latest and greatest listing, which is a surefire way to fail in social media. LinkedIn should be a part of every real estate marketing strategy, however, it should not be used as a platform to brag about your recent sale or newest listing. In the past here on Rochester's Real Estate Blog, we've covered the "Who's Who" of other social media websites and have had some incredible reach with the articles. It's important that if you're in the real estate industry, you know who you should be following on various social media websites, LinkedIn is no exception. Below you will find out who the best real estate industry professionals on LinkedIn are. If you're not connected with these professionals, don't hesitate and make sure you send them a connection request immediately. By connecting with them, I promise your LinkedIn feed will be filled with quality real estate content and very little to no spam content.

Anita Clark, Realtor at ColdwellBanker SSK Realtors

[caption id="attachment_3914" align="alignleft" width="120"]

Anita Clark, Realtor at ColdwellBanker SSK Realtors[/caption] There are several ways to improve your online reach, improve your brand exposure, get more prospects, leads, and clients, and ultimately gain more market share. Two ways that have always worked for Anita are to engage with other local business entities as well as blogging about her local communities. One increases your sphere of influence and the other provides consumers with helpful and relevant information they can use. When used together they can exponentially increase your market share! For example, a great way to make contact with more local biz owners is to be active on LinkedIn. While this platform is also great for B2C relationships, it is ideal for establishing a common ground with other local business owners. If you are not already actively engaging on LinkedIn, Anita encourages you to seek out local groups and become an active participant. You will be surprised how quickly you can generate new referral partners and new clients as a result. While many shy away from blogging, it also is a fantastic way to showcase your knowledge of an area, topic, or to just share quality information and should be part of your online arsenal if you want to effectively reach real estate consumers. For instance, you can provide community information that shows your knowledge of the local market, like this report on the real estate market in Warner Robins GA from Anita's website. Enhance your blogging efforts by using photos, video, and anything else that helps tell your story and you can bet your phone will be ringing from prospective buyers and sellers. Whatever sites and methods you use, the keys are to be consistent and provide information that helps and educates. Follow that pattern and in no time you will see increased activity that fills your real estate quiver with new leads and prospective clients. Connect with Anita Clark on LinkedIn

Ryan Fitzgerald, Raleigh, NC Realtor

[caption id="attachment_3917" align="alignleft" width="120"]

Ryan Fitzgerald, Raleigh, NC Realtor[/caption] Ryan Fitzgerald is the owner of Raleigh Realty, a real estate company in Raleigh, NC, that utilizes a different approach than most traditional brokerages. With a focus on technology and digital marketing, Ryan uses a combination of social media, search engine optimization, and blogging as a way to generate real estate leads online. There are more than 20,000 people using his website monthly to do things like search homes for sale in Cary, NC or to learn more about the local real estate market. I asked Ryan to talk to us a bit about his Social Media strategy… There are nearly 8,000 Realtors in Raleigh, NC and one of the ways in which we separate ourselves from the pact is by doing things differently. It’s easy to confuse social media with ‘selling’ vs. ‘relationship building.’ This is where a lot of Realtors and people in general make huge mistakes. Social media is an opportunity to build a relationship, once that relationship is nurtured you don’t have to sell anything because people naturally want to buy… and they will. LinkedIn is one network where people are making this mistake…. You connect with someone on LinkedIn and you immediately message them to ‘sell them’ - whether you’re selling an actual product, or selling them on a ‘in-person meeting,’ you went right for the sale. HUGE MISTAKE. You just lost that person’s trust. What you should be doing on LinkedIn is following each connection with a thank you message and asking ‘how can I help you grow your business?’ Give, give, give. You will be so different from everyone else who is selling, and you are coming from a place of contribution. This is how you build a relationship, and that is what social media is about. It’s time to start marketing our real estate businesses like it’s 2016 because as Gary Vaynerchuk often says too many of you are out there throwing right hooks when you should be jabbing. Give, give, give and then you ask - Don’t go right for the ask. Let everyone else play the short term game - you keep playing the long game. Connect with Ryan Fitzgerald on LinkedIn

Lynn Pineda, Coral Springs, FL Realtor

[caption id="attachment_3918" align="alignleft" width="120"]

Lynn Pineda, Coral Springs, FL Realtor[/caption] Lynn Pineda has been selling homes in Southeast Florida for over 11 years and her only regret is not getting started in Real Estate earlier in her life. Lynn is part of the top-rated, local Keller Williams Realty office in Coral Springs Florida where she serves both home Sellers and home Buyers from the areas of Coral Springs to Boca Raton. Understanding the needs of her Real Estate business in being able to effectively represent her customers, she knows the necessity of being visible in this online digital age, where people first seek out what it is they need over the internet. Lynn feels that if you don’t have a strong internet presence, not only are you short changing your ability for an expansive business growth, but ultimately you’re shortchanging the customers you represent. It no longer is an option on whether or not you have a website, participate in social media platforms or whether or not you write Real Estate content; make it optional and see your business suffer with lack of growth. LinkedIn is one of those social media platforms that provides an incredible arena for Real Estate professionals to collaborate with other like minded professionals. Lynn specializes in Coral Springs Florida and it’s neighborhood communities in Southeast Florida. It’s a great place to call home, work and play, which is why Coral Springs repeatedly shines as a favorite south Florida city. Connect with Lynn Pineda on LinkedIn

Aman Singh, Realtor at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices New Jersey Properties

[caption id="attachment_3922" align="alignleft" width="120"]

Aman Singh, Realtor at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices New Jersey Properties[/caption] Aman Singh is a Real Estate Agent in Central New Jersey and blogs at NJ Realty Homes. Officially licensed since October 2015, Aman’s journey to blogging began when he first passed his real estate exam. He started reading the top selling real estate books on Amazon. These books were written by top real estate professionals. Being a new agent, he was extremely excited to learn! Aman tried to soak up any information he could. But something seemed wrong. All the advice being offered felt old and outdated. These books offered advice on open houses, post cards and handwritten letters. But nothing on the internet, social media and technology. Aman thought, “If I were to purchase a brand new TV, what would I do? I would do my research online. I would look at the different specs, pros/cons, reviews etc. So why wouldn’t I use the same approach when buying a home?” That’s when it clicked. Aman knew he needed to do something drastically different to stand out from all the other real estate agents in the area. He started to vigorously search online to see what other top real estate agents were doing to stand out. He came across a video interview with Ryan Fitzgerald, a real estate agent and blogger from Raleigh, North Carolina. Aman saw someone similar to himself. An agent who was young, just starting out in real estate and didn’t like the “old fashioned” way of doing business. You know, the old tried and true methods of colding calling and hosting open houses. While those methods may work for some real estate agents, they were not for him. In his interview, Ryan spoke passionately about his website and how he was creating content to stand out. He wasn’t planning on blindly asking people for business. But instead, by providing valuable information that buyers and sellers could use. So that’s what Aman decided he was going to do. He had to set up a foundation to show his expertise. That’s why on NJ Realty Homes, he built community pages and a blog. Aman’s strategy was going to be to provide as much free content as he could. To give value and ask nothing in return. So far he has written extensive community pages and articles with dynamic infographics. In the future, he plans on adding more video related content to provide even more free value. The past few months have been extremely rewarding! Aman continues to learn and strives to be the best local real estate expert. But he feels like he is just getting warmed up! If anyone would like to connect, Aman available on various social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest and LinkedIn. Connect with Aman Singh on LinkedIn

They are the owners of Frederick Real Estate Online, one of the top real estate websites in Frederick, MD! Chris comes from a background of sales, while Karen comes from the field of education. After 30 years of marriage, they've found a way to work together that allows them both to focus on their strengths. "Chris is very strong in the technicals," says Karen. "That's why he's a good trainer. He finds a great deal of satisfaction in mentoring agents and helping to solve problems. He is also a great negotiator. I hear him on the phone, and I can see his wheels turning as he's planning the strategy. That's one of the best things a buyer or seller can have in an agent." Like many couples, Karen's strengths are the opposite of Chris's. For 9 years, she has created their internet and social media presence.
