Inman Connect NY: Day 1

January 17 2013

inman re connect nycThough our CEO, Victor Lund, is attending Inman Connect in New York this week, the rest of the RE Technology team is holding down the fort in sunny California. If you're like us, though, you're still anxious to keep up with all the conference goings on.

That's why we turned to Twitter, where we followed the hashtag #ICNY to watch the conference unfold in real time. We're sharing our favorite tweets here, organized according by presentation.

How to Use Real Estate Data in Your Business

@RebeccaChandler - #icny An agent's only value is not access to data. It's using the data to better serve their clients.

It's 2013, Time to STOP Pushing... and Pull
Jim Marks, President & Internet Anthropologist, Virtual Result

@YsGuy - Grow your sphere in concentric circles by interacting with your friends and THEIR friends. @jimmatks #agentRB #ICNY

How to Cultivate and Build Relationships on Social Media
Katie Lance, Chief Strategist, Inman News

@RobinTaylorRoth - Are you connecting with people? Intentionally or haphazardly? Stop "random acts" of social media. #ICNY @katielance

@YsGuy - Relationships come from PERSONAL communications -- letters, cards, etc. Social media can help too. @katielance #agentRB#ICNY

@PatPichette - "Leave no tweet behind. Relationships are built with small actions over time" says @katielance - great presentation. #ICNY #agentrb

@LeightonDees - The average age of a realtor is 55, 30% of all realtors are over 60! The gap is growing! @inmanconnect @katielance #ICNY

@YsGuy - Social media is no longer a passing fad. Youth won't have that box of cards their parents have. @katielance #agentRB #ICNY

 

How to Create Effective Video
Matt Singer, CEO, Videolicious

@RobinTaylorRoth - Create short 15-second shots, one feature per shot. Choose your best position, for each feature. #ICNY

@RobinTaylorRoth - Choose what to shoot (say, the best 3 attributes of a listing). Don't include everything in the video. #ICNY

@RobinTaylorRoth - A camera is an energy black hole. You have to be more energetic than usual, to appear normal. #ICNY

@RobinTaylorRoth - Use wide shot for context, close-in shot for details. Pan slowly. Face the light, so you are illuminated. #ICNY

@RobinTaylorRoth - Integrate stills & text, too. However, most important part of the video is YOU! #ICNY

@RobinTaylorRoth - 75% of consumers don't look past the 1st page of search results. Local & personal content getting more important. #ICNY

@MaineNerd - People want to cut through the noise and find an answer that's relevant @sethstuff #ICNY #agentrb

@RobinTaylorRoth - Before, agents had all the info; now, consumers do their own research & are well informed. May have info overload. #ICNY

@TuckerWanna - When Inman Connect first started they all said "Listings were not safe on the internet! How things have changed. And will continue to.#ICNY

@mark_mclean - Customers are loyal to a good experience. Nice little jewel from #icny

@reneefishman - "I can't create a latte experience with paper" @krisstinawise@goodlifeteam #icny - digitize everything

@wheretolive - Are consumers NOT buying/selling due to the inefficiencies in today's real estate transactions? #icny
