Facing the Future with Facebook

Lords Embrace Social Networking

Lords Estate Agents keep on proving that they are at the forefront of technological advances and miles ahead of their competitors in an ever changing world of Agency, now using social networking to their advantage in a perfect example of why Lords are always at the top of their game.

Managing Director Guy Hodge said ‘We are always searching for new ways to market our properties to an even greater audience. We know that over 90% of buyers now use the internet when searching for their new home, which is why we were the first Agent in the South of England to release our iPhone application and one of the first estate agents to use Twitter.’

Lords already offer an innovative choice when it comes to marketing their client’s homes, including their brilliant website at www.lordsonline.co.uk, a mobile site, an iPhone application, far reaching internet advertising, the live property stream on Twitter and interactive floor plans and audio tours. “Getting our customers’ homes circulated to the widest possible audience of potential buyers is our main objective,” added Guy, “and we are now able to showcase Lords’ properties in an entirely new media – Facebook!”

23 million people in the UK alone use Facebook, and with a further 200 million across the globe, Lords have realised that social networking is the perfect way to reach those millions who are totally addicted to the site which claims to ‘help you connect and share with the people in your life’. Guy Hodge says; “If Facebook can enable people to share photographs and videos and to promote events and charities, then we can use it to promote our clients homes to people whether they are at home, in the office, or on the move.”

The Lords Facebook page is truly innovatively designed: you can search for properties by location, property type, number of bedrooms or price range – the next best thing to visiting Lords own very highly regarded property website. All the homes are displayed in the typical Lords style; professionally, with stunning photography, comprehensive information including floor plans and links to contact Lords and arrange the all-important visit.

A quick Facebook search does not find one other Estate Agent in Surrey with a page to rival Lords: in fact I can say with some certainty that Lords are the only agent in Surrey who can offer searching of properties to a global audience through Facebook.
