Facebook is an online networking website where you can communicate with friend and family from all over the world and at the same time build up a new friendship list with many others that share your interests in life. Subject vary from groups dedicated to dried flowering arranging to exploring new life on Mars, but in this blog we will concentrate on the real estate opportunities that Facebook offers.

I must admit that Facebook was only something I joined of recent months and that was only from curiosity after reading an online report about catching up with old school friends, I had no idea that Facebook was also a hive of activity for business reasons too. Nonetheless, I registered my free account and filled in my profile details and was soon networking with people I had lost contact with many years before, people whom would still be lost firends had it not been for me signing up with Facebook.

I have since that time explored Facebook in great depth and now see that quite literally every topic is covered within the website, there are appreciation societies, sales, marketing, campaigns, charities, reunions… the list is endless. Real estae feature heavily too, from BMV opportunity groups for property in Costa Rica to ‘How to market your property free online’ discussions. What should not be missed also is that Facebook allows you to request friendship with people who share you interests, once you search for anyone with property or real estate in their profile you will have endless amounts of results that you can start networking.

I have already over 200 Real Estate friends, all like myself, interested in the global property world and fishing out new deals and advice to help them along their way. Do not forget that Facebook has now approximately 150 million worldwide members so taking just a tiny fraction of that amount leaves with with a massive potential database of like minded people to share your stories, business ideas with.

My advice? Sign up today with Facebook, maybe even type in my name in the search box Christopher Walkey and have me as you first real estate friend. Without doubt, take advantage of the free service Facebook provides and start networking!!
