Be More Interesting With Commercial Real Estate Social Media

When it comes to Social Media, we realize that Commercial Real Estate professionals are going

to post listings, it is the nature of the business. However, if you follow these simple tips when

posting, it becomes more than just a listing.

Descriptive

Instead of: New Office Listing http://www.cbcworldwide.com/cbclistings/4610595.html

public transportation. Rent is $22/PSF, 10,000 SF Avail http://bit.ly/GpkLh

Incentive

Instead of: New Listing http://www.cbcworldwide.com/cbclistings/4610595.html

Try: Class A Office space, great location & views. Walk to 5 restaurants. Bring tenant &

mention this, get $25 giftcard. http://bit.ly/GpkLh

Informative

Instead of: New construction on corner of Main & 2nd St. View article

Try: New bldg being built on Main & 2nd St. This will move vacancy rates up to 8% unless

tenants are found. Highest it‘s been in 4 years. View article

Giving Props

Instead of: We recently sold 10,000 SF building in Parsippany, NJ

Try: We represented Alter Group in buying a 10,000 SF bldg in Parsippany, NJ. They excel

in ensuring tenants are pleased with their space.

Force Responses

is near there?

Add Opinion

Instead of: New NREI report: Weak Jobs Report Is Unwelcome News for Leasing Markets

Try: New NREI report: Weak Jobs Report Is Unwelcome News for Leasing Markets. However,

I don‘t think this is going to affect the Atlanta market.

Mysterious

Try: Recently brought Tenant X to the best location downtown. Guess what building?

Confrontational

Instead of: Visiting space with Tenant X, we stopped at Dino‘s for a burger.

no comparison.
