Why Do I Need to Put My Listings on Twitter?

Twitter is an excellent tool for real estate brokers and owners, because it allows them to instantly reach out to potential buyers, renter or leasers looking for specific types of properties. Brokers and owners can quickly build a network of followers who are interested in your listings, or who know people who might be – and that can mean deals! Twitter is free to use.

Why Use TweetLister?

Twitter is an online phenomenon with millions of users, but for many people it remains something of a mystery, and for others it represents a time-consuming chore in the middle of their already busy day. TweetLister works for both savvy Twitter users and newcomers alike by making the process easy, convenient and more effective. TweetLister is a one-stop tool that posts your real estate listings on Twitter. The benefits of using TweetLister are:

1. Our carefully developed listing form lets you create a Twitter-friendly listing every time. You don't have to think about how to present all the facts in 140 characters or less. TweetLister does it for you. Plus, TweetLister's listing format ensures that your listing can be found in property searches by buyers and sellers on both Twitter and TweetLister.

And with TweetLister, agents may not even have to enter listings -- since you can claim listings from our database of more than 1.5 million current listings (courtesy of ListHub). If your listings are in our system, and they match your Agent ID, they will appear in your account.

2. You can schedule listings to run once, daily, or weekly, and you can set the start and end dates. In the user-friendly control panel, you can add or edit any of your listings, change the schedule for when they post, or archive your listings for use in the future. Real estate blogger Jeff Dillman called it "a well-rounded tool for posting and scheduling all your listings on Twitter."

TWITTIQUETTE NOTE: TweetLister allows you to schedule listings to tweet as often or as seldom as you'd like. However, as members of the larger Twitter community, we recommend two things: 1. Don't "over-tweet" a listing. Daily might be too often, and could frustrate some of your followers; and 2. Try to also post other types of tweets to your Twitter account(s), such as market observations, or local area information. This brings a "human" side to the conversation on Twitter, and helps to foster trust among your followers.

3. Each listing links to its own detail page. When you first input a listing using the Add Listing form, the listing will automatically get a basic detail page. The basic page features all the listing information you entered on the form spelled out in plain English, a photo that you can upload using the Add Listing form, two links to your website or your own listing detail page, as well as to a Virtual Tour or other web location, and a contact form that sends you information by email. You can use the Enhance Listing link under each of your listings shown in the Control Panel to add details. The Enhanced Listing feature lets you add a property description, property features, more photos, useful online tools, and the ability to add Vendor Ads on your landing pages. Listings that are "claimed" from your MLS will automatically receive Enhanced Detail pages, and you can go in at any time to edit the features on these listings.

4. With TweetLister you can add a Lister (Broker or Owner) Profile to your account, and associate a Profile with each listing. Broker/Owner Profiles feature a photo, contact information and brief bio for each Profile. When users click on your Profile link at the bottom of your detail page, they will be able to see all of your Profile information along with all of your active TweetLister listings!

5. With TweetLister you can associate an unlimited number of Twitter accounts. You can have specific Twitter accounts for different regions, or different types of properties, and tweet those listings on the appropriate account. So you can choose to post one listing to, say, your "Downtown Properties" account, and others to your "Uptown Properties" account -- whatever meets your needs. When you enter a listing, you can select which Twitter account to "tweet" to.

6. With TweetLister you can download all of your contacts for each listing in a handy Excel file - you won't miss a contact, and you have a fast worksheet to use for your follow-ups. With TweetLister, you get the additional benefit of detailed visitor reporting and click tracking.

Who Can Use

TweetLister is ONLY for real estate listings. Spammers will be blocked.

TweetLister is intended as a professional tool for those selling, renting or leasing real estate. We are constantly monitoring the tweets managed by TweetLister, and anyone posting anything other than a legitimate real estate listing will be blocked from using the service.

TweetLister is perfect for real estate brokers and owners who are selling, renting or leasing properties. Brokers will find it easy and convenient to manage an unlimited number of listings at once. Owners can create a listing, and then “set it and forget it” in TweetLister until their property is sold, rented or leased. Both brokers and owners can see how many clickthroughs their listings are getting, and can adjust the features and pricing in the listing at any time. And you can view and download leads for each listing, so you don’t miss a potential deal!

How Much Does TweetLister Cost?

TweetLister costs $9.95 per month for an Agent/Owner Account, and $19.95 for a Broker/Office Account.

Agent/Owner Account: $9.95/month

This account is meant for individual Listing Agents, or for Property Owners. You can enter listings manually, or have your own MLS listings fed into TweetLister, courtesy of ListHub. For listing feeds: Enter your MLS AgentID and your individual MLS listings will be fed into your TweetLister account. All of your listings will link to detail pages featuring your single Agent Profile, including contact information. You can schedule listings individually to post to an unlimited number of Twitter accounts.

Broker/Office Account: $19.95/month

This account is meant for Brokers. You can enter listings manually, or have your office-wide MLS listings fed into TweetLister, courtesy of ListHub. For listing feeds: Enter your MLS OfficeID and your entire office's/brokerage's MLS listings will be fed into your TweetLister account. You can choose to globally have listings feature your broker contact information, or feature individual agent information. You can select groups of listings to post at specific times to selected Twitter accounts, rather than having to schedule listings individually.

Is TweetLister All I Need?

TweetLister is a convenient and easy way to post, manage and schedule listings on Twitter, and many brokers and owners use it as part of a larger online listing and marketing strategy for their properties. In many cases, users post their listings on TweetLister, but then add more relevant real estate or community-related comments, including information-oriented tweets to discuss a property's unique aspects or bring out the amenities of the neighborhood where you live and/or work. They also post to other social networking websites, such as Facebook, and they may continue to use "traditional" online posting venues, such as Realtor.com.
