Have you heard about Meerkat?
No, we're not talking about the furry little mongoose relative. Meerkat is a new live streaming app that allows users to broadcast video in real time to a wide audience.
Download the Meerkat app (iOS only for now) to live broadcast anything using just your smartphone, and you can instantly be the star of your own newscast, so to speak. (Sitcom might be more accurate, depending on your home/work environments.)
Meerkat is kind of like live tweeting, except there's video so everyone can see and hear what's going on, instead of just reading your interpretation of it. Here's how it works: Meerkat for Real Estate

Do you have a healthy base of followers on Twitter? Here are some ideas for real estate-related live broadcasts you can stream to your social sphere:
Home Showings
Got a hot new listing? Meerkat a live tour to your followers! You can even schedule home tours at the same time(s) every week, so your audience knows when to "tune in" to see homes that are just hitting the market.
Buyer and Seller Presentations
Think of it like a webinar but without all that fussy software, registration and password nonsense. Host live buyers and seller presentations at your office and invite your clients and prospects to tune in. Worry your clients aren't Twitter savvy? You can send an email notification with a link letting them know when you are live.
Brokerage Announcements
Do you have big news? Whether you're announcing a new buyer's program, charitable partnership or something else, live stream it using Meerkat to dramatically broaden your reach.
Remember: There are always privacy concerns around live broadcasts. We recommend you play it safe and be sure to only stream people and places that have given you permission.
Let us know if you give Meerkat a try!
