Q:  Is Pinterest really going to help me build my real estate business … or is it just another time waster?

A:  Like anything, Pinterest has the ability to help your business … or to distract you from work. Because of the way you can collect and display information, I think Pinterest definitely has the ability to positively impact your business. For example, what about creating boards that feature your niche market? That could be a great way to showcase what you do, and I believe there’s a real opportunity to generate interest on the part of a buyer or seller.
