Are you aware of the advanced marketing trends of the new technology age of Real Estate? As a member of the Baby Boomer Generation (1943-1964) I have lived a life of change. We are after all the generation that started it all! Boomers are associated with expressing individual freedom, the civil rights movement, gay rights, handicapped rights, right to privacy and the important feminist cause of the 1970′s. I don’t call that slacking and I don’t call it out of the loop. Those movements taught us how change was good, how it could improve our lives and how it would lead to great things.
If I was one year younger I could be considered a member of Generation X. Generation X (1960-1979) is the most tech friendly of all the generations so far. This generation has driven the majority of the Internet’s growth. Google, Yahoo, MySpace, Youtube and other tech companies were all founded by people who belong to Generation X.
Finally, we come to Generation Y. Generation Y (1981-1995) or sometimes called the “Net Generation” is the first generation to grow up fully surrounded by a total digital and Internet driven world. They are the ones that keep us on our toes when it comes to all the latest tricks and trends.
As a Real Estate Professional it is imperative to keep abreast of all the latest marketing and sales trends. There are over 15 different free websites just to market a listing on. There are several networking sites to reach out to other Real Estate Professionals to help make a relocation transaction less stressful.

Do you know what a BLOG is? From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: A blog (a portmanteauof web log) is a website where entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. “Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning tomaintain or add content to a blog. Click on any of these three pictures to be directed to one of my three different blogs. When I list your home it will be displayed on all of these sites along with all of the other free flyer sites – Yes, and even CraigsList. CraigsList flyers seem to show up very quickly on the first page of Google for some awesome exposure.
As a real estate consumer whether you are buying or selling you want to make sure your agent is “tech-no savvy” so be sure to ask some questions about their online presence. Ask about their social networking and see if you can make a connection!

Wow, I finally have a reason to be happy to be a part of Generation X – which I always called The Sesame Street Generation. ha ha. Because of my upbringing by older parents and being surrounded by older people, I’ve always felt older and feel more “in touch” with The Baby Boomers. My husband is at the end of the Boomer generation (1963) and I always wanted to be a boomer. LOL
