Display Listings in Social Media

MLS members can use third-party applications in conjunction with CTI Navigator's IDX feature to display property listings from the MLS in social media such as Facebook. Some of the social media apps display only your listings and others can provide full MLS search. In general you must first create a Facebook account and setup a Facebook Business Page in Facebook (see Setting up a free Facebook Business Page). Following is a brief description of popular social media apps for real estate professionals.  

Facebook Business Page

1. To create a free Business Page on Facebook, go to https://www.facebook.com/pages/create/
2. Select a Category appropriate for your business (such as "Local Business or Place")
3. Choose a more specific category (e.g., Real Estate) from the dropdown menu
4. Enter your business name, address and phone number
5. Review "Facebook Pages Terms" and then click "Get Started."
6. Follow Facebook's on-screen instructions. See related articles at the end of this webpage for additional information.
