Top 10 Mortgage/Real Estate/Finance people to follow on Twitter

Posted by on Dec 12, 2010 in Blog, Realtor Resources | 6 comments

As many of you know I am a huge fan of Twitter. It has not only been instrumental in building my “personal brand” as a mortgage broker but more importantly, I have met a ton of individuals in various other professions that I can honestly say I wouldn’t have met without Twitter.

I have been actively tweeting since March 2009 under the name @sdd (which are my initials for those who have wondered) and have enjoyed all the discussions I have had with many of my followers.

Many of the people I follow are in the Mortgage/Real Estate/Finance business and I wanted to highlight some individuals in this area that I think many would benefit from following. Not just because they are in a similar industry as me but because they are bring more to the table and I have learned a great deal from all of them.

Below in no particular order are my Top 10 Mortgage/Real Estate/Finance people to follow:

@FinancialRunner One of my first followers. Gary is the person that got me hooked on Twitter and showed me the power of networking it can provide.

@TLCHome Teri has given me nothing but encouragement with all my business efforts. She get’s Social Media and I have learned a lot from her. (I also like that she let’s her husband @Avionicsman golf with me)

@KelleySkar A Realtor from Calgary this guy rocks the video blog. Catch up with him on YouTube too.

@PasqualeSasso Pasquale brings some great humor to the Real Estate industry.

@Kye_Grace Anybody that likes QR Codes as much as me deserves to be on this list.

@KathyStilwell Worth following for her daily motivational quotes alone.

@CareeBray a great women who I have had many opportunities to discuss business with online and off.

@KarenBoies We started in this business around the same time. It has been a pleasure talking about the ups and downs with Karen along the way.

@RebeccaPermack Rebecca was one of the first people I followed on Twitter. She’s a Coquitlam Realtor who’s definitely worth getting to know.

@604homesguy Matt knows his stuff when in comes to Vancouver real estate. Always good for a discussion in 140 characters or less.

    Kelley,

    Thanks for the comment. It’s great how we have all learned from each other along the way. Anyone that thinks Twitter is a waste of time needs to meet more people like you and the others I’ve had the pleasure following and connecting with offline as well.

    One day we will definitely meet IRL but until then it’s in 140 characters or less.

    Have a great Christmas!

    Scott

    Thanks for the mention in your blog but – I’m feeling a bit like Joe Pesci in his famous “I’m here to amuse you?” scene in Goodfellas

    Thanks for the comment. I was looking for a quote from Goodfellas to use in my reply but couldn’t find one without 7 swear words in it. :)
