I’m a newbie to the world of Facebook but an old salt at social networking sites. I’ve been on LinkedIn<\/a> since 2004, MySpace<\/a> since 2005, and Active Rain<\/a> since 2006. Facebook<\/a> is my network du l’an<\/em> for 2007.<\/p>\n

It all started with my need to meet people in the San Diego area. I moved here as a mortgage sales executive in 2003 to be RIF’d after a merger in early 2005. Faced with the prospect of earning a living for my family, I turned to my first love; originating loans. In many respects, I’m only a third year originator.<\/p>\n

My goal: to build a phat Rolodex, and fast.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I turned to the budding social networks to meet REALTORs and key referring influencers. I think Jeff Corbett got me on Facebook. I see a few of you there now. Facebook is a unique social utility because it lets independent software developers offer applications. One of those applications is a listing bot called Cribfinders<\/a>. From the Cribfinders home page<\/a> on Facebook:<\/p>\n

Did you know?
\n* Your properties appear on your profile after adding them to CribFinder
\n* Updates appear on your newsfeed when you add or comment on photos (even your own!)
\n* You can track how many times your properties are viewed
\n* You can add your profile to our (searchable) realtor database
\n* You can add as many properties as you want
\n* You can get links to your “Cribs” and display them OFF of facebook <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I added that application on my Facebook page and started searching around, I came upon this listing and clicked through to the REALTOR<\/a>. He and I led parallel lives (both lived in Phoenix and moved to San Diego). I called him and spoke to him for 10-15 minutes and we have a connection. I have always maintained that the loan originator with the most friends wins the game so I like to make friends.
\nI noticed one hound using that application<\/a> and wondered if others will. Comments about Cribfinders?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
