Social Media – Why we use it!

christinaward — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 15:50:25 +0000

Few can argue that Social Media and Social Networking is an excellent resource to engage new people, build relationships, interact with others, and learn new things. As a Real Estate Agent in New Bern, Havelock, and Pamlico County, I use social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIN, and Youtube daily to meet new folks and build new relationships with people all over the world.

Additionally, this allows me to build a professional network with others globally in a mutual fashion, and hopefully bring to light many of the great aspects of living and doing business in Craven and Pamlico County.

As a Real Estate Agent, I strongly believe that our social media engagement gives me an advantage professionally because it allows me to reach far more people outside New Bern and Havelock who may be interested in Real Estate locally.

How are you using Social Media professionally or personally?

Real Estate, It’s Not All Bad News!

I heard something interesting while in class today. The instructor stated that since Feb. of last year, real estate sales in the United States were 5.1% higher and saw a 6.5% increase over the entire last year.

New Bern is behind this statistic as are other areas:

During Feb 2008, 78 homes sold in New Bern compared to 57 homes being sold this past February.

The good news is that we are still selling home in New Bern, Havelock and Craven County.
