I don't really care. I have two pages on FB. One(= location) has thousands organic likes, my personal business page has only 400( also organic, came from FB, Twitter, AR, etc.) . If you want likes, you can pay very little money and get tons of likes, but those likes have zero value.

I'm only at 72 likes, but I know each person. I'd rather have quality than quantity, but I also want more likes to extend my reach.

Don't put too much weight on the 'likes'. On Facebook, a 'like' does not have any more meaning than an indication the the person stopped by. The real value of Facebook is in the relationships that have meaning.

After I started my FB Business Page, I invited personal friends to "Like" the page to increase my reach. With those, I have about 125 likes. But, as Roy said above, hard to put any weight on these "Likes" especially if they are not in the same city as you. Looking at it positively, you extend your reach and hopefully will be top of mind if friends or family of those that Like your page decide to move to town, etc. Consistency, Visibility and Value...I completely agree with Marcia above on that. 

 

On a side note, I used FB Ads to promote one Open House I did this past year. I targeted a very specific audience, as I was doing a 55+ property, but it did garner a few Likes of my page, as well as a few comments. Activity on FB is big since the more activity it receives, the more it's shared throughout those people's feeds. (Someone correct me if I am wrong...)

 

Good luck this year, everyone! Make it a great 2015!

My business page has over 500 likes, almost 100 of those are from this year. The more important question is, how much business has your facebook page produced for you? I ask this question a lot and most people admit they can't track a single buyer/seller specifically to their facebook page.

I'm sure it works for larger companies, but I think most of us smaller businesses or single agents spend too much time on social media when we would get better results spending that same time looking people in the eye.

I plan on spending money on Facebook Ads promoting my Facebook Business Page in the 1st quarter to generate home buyer and seller leads. Many potential home buyer and sellers are on Facebook.

My likes hovered around 75 and that started to bug me. I decided to target 100 likes or more. I was surprised at how easily I accomplished it. I invited more of my personal friends to like my page and was pleased to see that their friends started liking my page, too. Within days I had over 100 likes. I don't pay to promote my page, but I'm sure that might help you get more likes. I get at least 3 or 4 sales from my Facebook presence, but most are people I know. No matter how many likes, the key is visibility, consistency, and providing value. I'd be interested to know how many people pay to promote their facebook page.
