Facebook quizzes might be a darned good tool for real estate agents.\u00a0 You know what I’m talking about, right?\u00a0 Facebook quizzes are those independent applications that ask you 5-10 questions and tell you who you were in a past life, what your inner animal is, and what sort of American accent you might have.\u00a0 I take them when I’m surfing Facebook in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n
