MLS updating Twitter, etc…

So I’m now beginning to selectively advertise “Real Time text message updates” in some of my real estate marketing. I’m not sure what to think of it yet, and so far the jury is out about effectiveness.

I personally would think it was pretty cool to get a text message whenever a new foreclosure listing came available. I am testing it out myself, and it’s come in handy a few times, especially since it’s coupled with the blog foreclosure site I put up awhile back.

I get a text message when a new property is listed with the link to the VBForeclosures.HomesInRealTime.com where the actual listing summary emails are posted. Then, if I want to go further and get ALL the details, I can click through to the complete details.

If anyone wants to try it out, just send “Follow vbforeclosures” to 40404 (twitter), and it will subscribe you automatically. To quit, just send “off” to 40404 and you’ll stop getting messages.

I’ll post an update here when I can further gauge the entire project.

Later!
