Just Released: An even easier way to
create real estate facebook pages
Pretty exciting news!
Just announced this Friday on Facebook, there will be a new and improved “flow” for how someone
creates a business page on Facebook. I really like this improvement and think it will encourage more
and more people to make pages (instead of using their personal profile for business).
Here are a couple screen shots of the new process (see below) Once someone clicks, “Create a Page” they are re-directed to this page:
Once you click on your category, you are presented with a drop-down menu. For a real estate agent,
you would click “Local Business or Place of Interest”
One of the biggest changes for lists is the amount of options – I don’t ever rememeber seeing a “real
estate” option! In my opinion, this is one more way Facebook is really encouraging people to create
pages but create them in a smart and organized way.

Relevency of Information in Social Media Article taken from www.futureofrealestatemarketing.com.
So, you have a Facebook profile. You signed up for Twitter. You’re even on LinkedIn. You’re pretty sure that
you’re on track to go viral. Leads should be pouring in now that you’ve done everything possible to stay current
with real estate technology, but your Playstation friend requests seem to be more relevant than who’s friending
you on Facebook and following you on Twitter.
The New Rules of Branding Your Business Online Article taken from www.inc.com.
It's no longer enough to have a sleek website, social-media presence, and consistent brand aesthetic online. The
new rules of branding your business on the Web have a lot less to do with presentation, and a lot more to do with
interaction. In order to bring you up to speed, Inc.com has compiled nine of the most innovative and ingenious
tips from articles, guides, and interviews in Inc. and Inc.com over the past year. These are the new rules of
branding online.
1. Don’t just start the conversation
2. Either keep your personal brand out of it…
3. Or dive in and make all the headlines you can
4. Don’t favor edge over consistency
5. Be persistent in finding and targeting your niche
6. Excel at telling your customers “about us”
7. Fully integrate social media into your site
8. Monitor your brands reputation, and be ready to respond
9. Showcase your best work

Legal Q & A: Is a seller ’ s disclosure required in a short sale?Legal Q & A: Is a seller ’ s disclosure required in a short sale?Legal Q & A: Is a seller ’ s disclosure required in a short sale?Legal Q & A: Is a seller ’ s disclosure required in a short sale?
I took a listing that is going to be a short sale and will require the lender’s approval. The seller insists that since the
lender is a necessary party to any sale that the seller is not obligated to provide a disclosure notice. Is that true?
No. Section 5.008 of the Property Code does not grant a seller an exemption to the requirement to provide the seller’s
disclosure notice because any sale of the property requires approval by the lender. While the lender’s approval may be
necessary for the transaction to be successful, the lender is not a party to the contract. Only the seller is selling the
property.
Remember that the seller’s disclosure notice is a risk-reduction tool for the benefit of the seller. The seller does not
need to add to his financial problems by risking a DTPA suit for nondisclosure of items that could have been provided
to a buyer by the careful preparation of the seller’s disclosure notice.
