More Than Just Mortgages – REBarCamp Toronto

I spent most of last Friday in King West Village in Toronto attending the first REBarCamp in Toronto. Real Estate Bar Camps have been held in the United States for the past couple of years, but last week Toronto finally got one of its own. Basically it is a gathering of Real Estate professionals who use social media as a means of marketing their business as well as reaching their current and potential clients.

Social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter…Blogs…etc) has had a significant impact on the Toronto Real Estate Industry in the past couple of years with more and more Realtors jumping on board and using on-line tools instead of the more traditional direct mail marketing of the past. It is a much more cost effective method of marketing and can really give the audience a comfort level with your abilities and personality.

As a Toronto Mortgage Broker I use Social Media to not only advertise my mortgage rates, but also provide an informative and educational experience for my followers on Twitter and visitors to my site. I also do quite a bit of speaking and coaching to other Toronto Mortgage Brokers and Realtors about how to use Social Media effectively in their businesses. Feel free to contact me if you would like to chat about social media, mortgages….or both. I always welcome the opportunity to interact with visitors to my site

  Thanks for taking a look. Real Estate BARCamp was a blast last week and I think it is a must for anyone in the Toronto Real Estate business. You should definitely check it out next time.

  I tried to view the video and didn’t have any trouble. It must have been a temporary glitch, but thanks for bringing it to my attention
