My Realtor-client Gerry Fiks, of Real Estate Services NC, attended the Tech Tools for Realtors conference at the Raleigh Realtors Association yesterday. I was disappointed, to say the least, that Pinterest got almost NO attention. The speakers focused on smart phone apps and Facebook.
I expect I'll be working with Gerry more in Evernote and DropBox, both great ways to share information and files without sneaker net. However, both of those applications require password protection. You can't share with "everyone." You can share a Pinterest board with the world. We pinned all the tools that were mentioned at the conference.
Click on the image to see the most recent updates to the board, or go to the board at Tech Tools for Realtors.
Both he and I will also be able to share the list of tools with other Realtors. He can use the list to collaborate, so that both sides of a transaction are using the same tools. I can use the list to educate my own clients, and show Realtors who come to me for ideas about using Pinterest in their Real Estate Marketing how to highlight their expertise.
If you know about more tools that belong on this board, let me know in the comments below, or @mention the account: @Gerry Fiks (You have to be following the board for Pinterest to show you the name).

Comment by Pat Howlett on March 16, 2013 at 8:51am Karen - great share and I encourage you to become the "go to" person to not only Realtors on Pinterest but others as well - you've spent an incredible amount of time researching and testing this platform that you'd help pretty much anyone fasttrack to proper use. Nice!
