Generating Real Estate Leads through Twitter?

[Joshua Dorkin]

I'm curious if any of you have been successful in generating real estate leads using Twitter. I use Twitter primarily to connect with people I may know or thought leaders in various industries, but don't really consider it a place where you'd go to find leads as a real estate investor, agent, etc.

Has anyone found it to be a successful platform for generating leads? If so, what is your Twitter strategy?

I agree with Josh, I actually have several different twitter accounts, and it gets almost daunting at some points... trying to keep a check on who is talking...

Recently, I've been using twitter to generate leads on good tenants and trying to increase my 'PM' brand recognition for a specific area.

I will say it is working, as I monitor web traffic. I would still say CL delivers the most traffic / word of mouth / buzz for my time invested. I still like twitter as it adds to the overall value of the business. I plan to expand in the technical arena with time, however, time always seems limited. I still need to get my server functioning properly, and add Php / mysql functionality...

I've been ignoring the big fat face book. And for no reason really... other than lack of time :D
