I use Twitter for real estate marketing. So far, I've not been able to pin-point one sale from Twitter. FB is a totally other story though!

No, Twitter to me is quick communications, posting blogs and events. The business comes from WHAT I post, not Twitter.

For hilarious one liners, meeting quick-witted people and writers who specialize in brevity.

 

I hate twitter for business.

  Yes.

 It's part of my internet presence.

    At the very least, link your blog posts, market reports, new listing flyers, etc. to Twitter.

I have 11k+ organic followers on twitter and almost daily post something about my business or my community, yet, I did not get any lead strictly from Twitter. But again, business is a combination of few networks.

We feed the twitter account directly from facebook and it is strictly marketing. We don't get leads from twitter, but our seller clients are appreciative that we use it. Facebook does generate leads, however, as Debe Maxwell, CRS says.

Our real estate commission has requriements that must be in the original twitter characters so I use it sparingly for local events. Those $500 fines can be costly per occurence.
