I was hosting the social media breakout sessions at BuzzRE Portland and Dale Chumbley of 365 Things To Do In Vancouver, WA was the first speaker. I grabbed Dale to do a Productivity Nugget right before he started his presentation.
Dale is becoming famous for his 365 Things Facebook page but was talking to the BuzzRE group about how he uses his personal profile to grow his sphere of influence real estate business.
Using Facebook For Sphere Of Influence Real Estate Business
Dale joined me a couple months ago for my Virtual BarCamp presentation when I shared my 1-2-1 Business Development Formula. So it was good to get together with him again and to hear his perspective on social media, facebook, and real estate.
Some of my take aways from Dale’s BuzzRE session”
Facebook Real Estate Don’ts
Don’t just promote your listings
Don’t just talk about real estate
Don’t just ask for referrals
Facebook Real Estate Do’s
Dale uses video to wish people happy birthday
He uses pictures to share about his real estate activity
Connect with people on chat

"If you aren't getting Darin's daily email, you are missing out." -- Chris Smith, Inman News Chief Evangelist
I wanted to start to build a team and with Darin's coaching I have added 2 full
time buyers agents and a virtual assistant. We are getting so organized
and now I am able to prospect for listings like I should have been doing
before.
Darin is a KICK ASS coach, motivator and a genius. Yes, he has a mind that is incredible.
I feel that Darin is vested in my success both personally and professionally. He is a dear friend and I am excited we are now partners.

“Have I told you lately that you’re the greatest thing since sliced cheese? And that at least every other day Matt and I tell each other out loud about how grateful we are to have found you?
You’re a true blessing and are helping us like no other coach to make impactful changes within our business, at a pace that makes sense. And you ‘GET’ technology, too! Coach D, you’re a dream come true. “

"We closed 80 transactions in 2009, started coaching with Darin in 2010, and ended the year with 124 closed transactions." - Incorvaia Team
“Since coaching with Darin, I got refocused and reconnected to my sphere. In the last 40 days I have made $53,000. Just took two new listings and I’m having fun again in business.” – Kris Cantrell
"In only 8 weeks, I've increased my bottom line by 27%." - Jonathan Rivera aka Real-Tech Guy of Official Real Estate Referral Group
"I have been working with Darin for 10 weeks now, I was looking for a way to take my business to another level going into my second full year of real estate. I closed 32 deals in 2011 and so far with the help, guidance and motivation I am on pace to double my transactions in 2012. The most exciting part about working with Darin is I am able to increase my production without adding hours to my week, Darin has taught me how to leverage my time and use it more efficiently. If you are serious about taking your real estate career to a new level, it is a MUST to start working with Darin Persinger as soon as you possibly can." - Ryan Shields
