Justin Carlucci from Sperry Van Ness in Seattle discusses business, social media marketing and how to get a new brokerage business launched!
 
How is your new team, Jansen Commercial doing?

We are very excited about the team and how quickly we have gotten off the ground.  Already we have over a dozen deals under contract in both sales and leasing, as well as in King and Snohomish Counties and including nearly every asset class.

What is the toughest property request you have received?

I was recently working for a medical marijuana collective that was involved in providing information to individuals who have been prescribed medical marijuana. Finding a space for this type of user is an extremely delicate situation since many people have strong stances for or against the use of Marijuana in general.

How are you using social media to build a presence online and market your services?

I have a personal Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook account, as well as a Twitter account for my Team (Jansen Commercial Team).  These accounts are linked to our Coast|Sperry Van Ness/Jansen Commercial Team Blog and notifications are sent out to each social media account when something new is posted on the blog.

Do you currently have the Real Estate Pro application on your LinkedIn profile? What is your LinkedIn profile address?

Yes, http://www.linkedin.com/pub/justin-carlucci/5/857/958

Any early insights you can share on using the new Real Estate Pro application on LinkedIn?

Have the Rofo team help you to set it up.  From there Real Estate Pro does the rest of the work for you!

What good deed have you done in the past three months?

I paid for a mentally challenged man’s breakfast on Saturday morning when I was out to eat.  He was sitting and eating alone and looked like he could really use the help.
