I’ve been on LinkedIn for a while but never really attempted to use it anywhere near it’s full potential. I had a profile, and that was about it.

Todd started me thinking the other day when he launched his Lenderama group in Linkedin. I joined right away (I think I was the third to join). Then I sat back and wondered “Now What?” Now that we have a group, what are we going to do with it.

The truth is, nobody really knows.

Todd will decide what he wants to do with his LinkedIn group as he sees fit.
I had an idea though. It stems from my other blog, The Foreclosure Report…

You see, when someone (typically a homeowner) has a question, problem or issue that deals with their fighting foreclosure, they call me or email me. My contact information is right at the top of every page. I might get 4 or 5 calls a day. They call because I make it easy to contact me.

Back to the Lenderama LinkedIn Group. Personally I know how I am going to use Todd’s group. Can you see needing help with a mortgage situation and having 67+ other mortgage professionals just a simple click away? I can.

Need an important question answered? LinkedIn!

“Hey Robert Ashby, does the 10 year bond reflect mortgage rates?”
“Hey Diane Cipa, do I really need Title Insurance?”

With Linkedin, Robert and Diane are only a click away!

Obviously, it wouldn’t be possible to have homeowners in trouble join LinkedIn just to get an answer but I have the next best idea. Why not use LinkedIn Groups to better connect with the Agents who are helping these people.

I created a LinkedIn group just for them: The Short Sale Support Group

No, really.
If you are an Agent working on a short sale and need help closing the deal (and I know there are plenty of you out there) you are no longer all alone!
