tweetmehomes.com Lists on Twitter
One of the big debates surrounding the use of Twitter in real estate is whether listings should be broadcast through the social networking tool. Some argue that Twitter should be all about relationship building, while others say the occasional listing is perfectly ok to include. Still others are in favour of Twitter accounts that only tweet listings, maintaining they will only reach those who are truly interested.
tweetmehomes.com is a new US-based Twitter service that comes down firmly on the “listings only” side of the debate.
New Listing Tool for UK Agents
A new tool has recently been launched to help UK agents upload their listings to multiple property portals.
XML2U promises to take the hassle out of listing properties through the use of “Google-like technology”. First, XML2U visits the agent’s website, collects the details of their properties, and present them in a data file. Then, a link to the file can be given to any portal the agent chooses so their properties can automatically be uploaded.
estatecreate.com Builds for Agents
We first reported on UK-based single property website creation tool estatecreate.com when it launched in February last year. At the time, it was pitched as a challenge to agents in that it offered an alternative selling tool for home owners.
After launching, estatecreate.com decided to include an agent-focused option in its subscription offerings, allowing agents to create single property websites to promote their clients properties.
Since then, it seems agents have been clamouring for an option that doesn’t involve them creating the websites on their own.
