RISMEDIA, Oct. 7, 2008-Thanks to technology, real estate professionals have more avenues than before to reach out to their clientele. But some Realtors, like Deneen Thomas, today’s featured Realtor on the Rise, aren’t forgetting the value of face-to-face contact in a digital society.

Using technology: “I have set up two blogs; I’m on LinkedIn, Facebook, Jott, Craigslist, Zillow, Point2Agent and Google. I also have a website for generating leads.”

Thomas uses various methods to stand out in today’s market. She sponsors home-buyer seminars and networking events with business associates in various fields, such as home inspection, contracting, insurance and investing. Thomas also purchases booth space at fairs and neighborhood events where she hands out information on buying or selling real estate.
