Facebook has become a powerful and efficient tool that allows you to kill two birds with one stone and promote your business while you engage socially. Connecting your Trulia account to Facebook can save you additional time and help create extra opportunities to promote your business to your friends and fans. Check out these easy ways you can distribute helpful information to current and potential clients, and leverage the viral power of your largest social network to spread the word about your business.

1. Share Your Listings

Trulia’s My Listings lets you share your listings on Facebook with a simple click. For each listing you can post a custom message with the main listing photo and description, and you can share them on your own wall or page, in a group, or on a friends’ wall or via a private message – which is a great option if you have a specific buyer in mind who might be a perfect fit for a particular home.

2. Share Your Advice

Writing a killer blog post or giving an awesome answer to a question on Trulia Voices is a great way to share your expertise with potential clients on Trulia, but you shouldn’t stop there. It’s a cinch to share your blog posts and answers on Facebook, and show your friends and colleagues that you’re the go-to real estate expert in your network. You can also share others’ questions on Facebook, and doing so is a great way to refer a question that you can’t answer to a colleague you know who can.

3. Get Recommendations

Trulia lets you request recommendations from your friends and clients on Facebook, and when they post a recommendation to your Trulia profile it will also show up on their wall for everyone in their network to see.

Even better is when someone in your extended network searches for an agent in our Find a Pro directory, your recommendations help you show up first in their results. Research shows that when people see that you’ve been recommended by someone they know, they’ll be four times more likely to contact you to do business.
