Agent Reboot SF Highlights – Social Media, Facebook, Mobile Tech & SO MUCH MORE!

Today was an awesome day – it was Inman News‘ 1st ever Agent Reboot™ – a one-day event devoted to just real estate agents. It was so exciting to be in the room and see Nicole Nicolay (@nik_nik) and Daniel Rothamel (@realestatezebra) kick off this event (which is the 1st on a 12-city road show!)

There was so much great information – but before I nodded off to sleep I wanted to post the nuggets of info I took away from today: (by the way – these are just SOME of the highlights – there were WAY more speakers and great content than listed below!)

Max Pigman (@maxpigman)

  • 50% buyers will use mobile apps in next 24-36 months
  • It’s no longer about the device. It’s about the application.

Cece Blase (@sfrebuzz)

  • Her marketing is like ‘3 legs of a stool’ – email, blog and face-to-face
  • She writes content that is interesting to her and made the choice to have her ‘blog voice’ be in a similar tone to how she speaks.
  • She says “You can’t be everything to everybody – I made the decision a while back to work with people I like!” (love this!!)
  • Basics of her writing: clever, to the point, low graphics, 200-300 words max. Be interesting, be relevant be conversational, be yourself

Ginger Wilcox (@gingerw)

  • Stuck on what to write? Write down every question a client has asked you! There is some great content right there!

Bernice Ross (@bross)

  • (talking about Facebook) “Make a friend now, do a deal later” (so true!!!)

Derek Overby (@doverbEy)

  • Facebook has become the hub – the entry point into your social media world. It’s where SO many people start their day! Facebook is one of the easiest places to start in social media!

Dawn Thomas (@DawnThomasCRS)

  • (in regards to a Facebook page) “People want to be a fly on the wall and see what others are saying about YOU!” (never thought of it that way!)

    It is great to find so many resources available to help people get involved in social media. I am just starting out my career, and I am happy to find such an abundance of advice from other bloggers out there.

    I am considering going to the Las vegas event in September but am a little concerned this is a bit “101″ for me. Can anyone comment on whether or not this was more for Tech rookies or for anyone and their level of tech ability and know how?
