To succeed in real estate, get referrals from past clients, colleagues, and other professionals you've worked with. Maintain a thorough LinkedIn profile to be found by potential clients and network on the site by participating in discussions, recommending others, and connecting your blog to build your online presence, while remembering LinkedIn is a professional network, not a social media platform.
