I can't imagine any strategy where only a dozen tweets will accomplish the task. Looking at Zillow: http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/229-Rock-Glen-Rd-Wynnewood-PA-19096/9965875_zpid/ It appears the house sold in July of 2010 for $355,000 .... but is back on the market for $379,000 again.

The key is, to only publish quality Tweets, and people will pay attention. And, when you can actually and responsibly promote your office it is appreciated a lot more.

See http://www.GaryLittle.ca/askhouse.html for a full explanation of the concept.

Real time search is evolving, but I just do not see it at a stage where house hunters will go to twitter to search (maybe Zillow should add such a feature :) Being a home inspector, I partially see what happens on the real estate agent side, and my impression has been that it is best when they integrate various social media ventures with their website. Promoting a clear brand to draw interested buyers in. For example, the "foreclosure expert" and the "eco-broker" or maybe "the green home expert" let you know what the agent does well. When the brand is consistent across platforms, others notice. At the website, visitors can explore different choices while looking for the information they want about the neighborhood, schools, and related topics.
