If you have spent a few minutes talking to me or reading my blog, you’ll have learned by now that my promotion is not in the website, but in the blog.

Here’s this Real Estate Virtual Assistant‘s Top 10 Blog Must Haves:

  1. Listings & Property Search IDX (YES!  You Can have your IDX on your Blog!)

What are you waiting for?  I know, I know, you don’t know how to write, you don’t want to write, you don’t have time to write, you simply just hate writing!  Am I right?!   Don’t let that affect your online marketing and powerful online presence – there are answers and I’ll be happy to share them with you – try out #8 and let’s talk!

Real Estate Facebook Fan Pages – Roost’s New Social Media Application

March 5, 2010 By 6 Comments

Real Estate Facebook Fan Pages

Roost’s New Social Media Application


Just as Facebook takes a sudden turn to disallow interactive embedding of IDX applications to Real Estate Facebook Fan Pages, Roost (the well know Real Estate Technology company where last month Tech Savvy Agent was named as one of the Top 50 sites to follow) has come out with a brand new Application (app) that will essentially fill this void.

Real Estate Facebook Fan Page Social Media App

Released March 5, 2010, the beta version of this real estate facebook app allows brokers and realtors to pull listing information into a custom tab within their Fan Page through their respective local MLS, in addition to market trends graphs from Altos Research, school data from Education.com and walkability data from Walkscore.

Here’s a quick video from Roost’s Senior Director of Marketing and Social Media, Derek Overbey describing how this works and how you can add it to your Real Estate Facebook Fan Page:


Take Note – Derek mentions that this Realtor that was a tester of this beta version app has links to her BLOG and not her website in BOTH areas of the fan page application design.


Roost’s CEO, Alex Chang, stated, “we kind of had three goals for the application: 1. to help Realtors use Facebook in a productive way; 2. (to position) you on Facebook as an expert in your local market; and 3. to offer an incredibly easy-to-use application that takes no time to set up.” This application definitely does this and as a real estate virtual assistant and social networking expert, I would definitely concur.

Here’s the most amazing part of it all!

Still in its beta mode, it’s full form will be released in the coming months; the full version will include:

  • multiple listing service real estate search
  • lead generation, and
  • drip marketing tools!

    • This will be a MUST to have on your Real Estate Facebook Fan Page!  Lead Generation on Facebook is truly just around the corner!

    Until then, if a consumer wants to search listings for sale, they can click a button to see all listings and be directed to either an IDX (Internet Data Exchange) search site that the agent has hired Roost to power and host, or that agent’s blog or web site.

    I’ll be keeping a close eye on the release of the full version and will keep you posted – keep checking back or enter your email address below to get an automatic update of when it has been released.
