"Joel… this is just a smart post. I’ve been on facebook for a few weeks, testing. It has some great potential." Your premonition was correct. No one had an idea that facebook would become this popular. It is absolutely insane how fast they grew. I can remember thinking "I already have enough accounts to keep up with" so I didnt sign up in the beginning. I just found it humorous looking back.

Friend your clients. The *broker* should have an office group for all the agents to network and invite clients to join.. and pepper in actual real-world events folks can attend to not make it just a forgettable advertising feed... the network grows stronger with many mutual interest agents, and by feeding off of each other's events of success and actual (legitimate) social activity; the group is not annoying. Also: minimize official shout outs and spam ommercials to only 1 / week. Daily group messages result in loss of members. Hae a social event at LEAST 1 / month... if not 2/ month. Don' t invite anyone to the group without talking to them in person first about the social event.. not real estate, not the group, not facebook... the EVENT. yes or no; ask them if they are on FB. if they are, let em know you'll drop em a reminder to (or; in case they want to) attend the EVENT. they will leave the group as is on a weekly basis if you don't just spam commercial garbage. in summary: google owns anyone searching for a home... but FB will help keep your clients friends. Anyone who claims otherwise is selling an app/group.

It is my understanding that you should not promote your business on the personal facebook accounts and that there may even be an issues with Facebook's terms of use? It looks like there is a LOT more functionality to promote your business with the "fan" facebook account.

One thing to keep in mind when on these sites is not to abuse your peers. No one likes constant self promotion with no value.
