realtor.com Introduces New Free Social Media Tool

in

This week, REALTOR.com® is making an important announcement that may be of interest to you.  We want to provide you this notice about a new free social tool we’re introducing that will help connect you with potential buyers and sellers.

Last July, Move Inc. acquired SocialBios, a social technology that helps consumers see their online connections and affiliations with people across multiple online social networks.  SocialBios is now being integrated into the new REALTOR.com® HyperSocial™ suite of agent search tools designed to connect buyers, sellers and agents, while helping agents better manage their online reputations through recommendations.

The first two opportunities include HyperSocial™ Agent Profile Pages and HyperSocial™ Agent Recommendations.  Now in beta testing, these new free opportunities will be integrated into the REALTOR.com® Find a REALTOR® (FAR) directory in early 2012.  We are hoping to get this message out to as many NAR members as possible to advise REALTORS® who haven’t already signed up for SocialBios to sign up now – before the busy home buying season!

Registration is available now for REALTORS®  with a valid NRDS number by going to:  http://www.socialbios.com.  These HyperSocial™ agent search tools will initially include Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Google and FourSquare.  Information on how to register in seconds can be found at:  http://lockbox.realtor.com/realtor-technology/how-to-set-up-a-socialbios-account/.
