Daily Real Estate News | May 5, 2009 | Google Makes Finding Real Estate Pros Easier
Given that people increasingly are using the Web to find other people, experts say real estate practitioners would be wise to create a presence on Google Profiles.

After establishing a Google account, agents should fill out as much information as possible, including a short bio, interests, current and past cities of residence, links to other online profiles and Web sites, current and past employers, current and past schools, and skills.

Additionally, they should check the box to display their full name so that it will show up in the search engine, and it also is recommended that they upload a photo. Google also offers vanity URLs that feature user names, although agents shouldn't do this if they don't want people to know their Gmail addresses.
