LinkedIn is a social network that can help real estate professionals to connect with peers, clients, real estate investors, etc. There are many real estate pro’s in this network, therefore it was really hard to compile this list, especially since the number of connections is not relevant as there is no higher mention provided by the network but +500 connections.
For this 100 LinkedIn real estate professionals to add to your network, I picked out individuals from various categories: business owners, principals, realtors, trainers, agents, all with an important number of connections, but also active people in some of this social network’s groups. In the list are also included the real estate professionals you suggested by email, and, at the end of the list, you’ll find 19 groups to join and the LinkedIn Today - real estate topic, already followed by many members of this social network.
As I mentioned, there are many real estate professionals on LinkedIn so, if you have any suggestions of great people that are worthy of being included here, please leave a comment to this article and we’ll do our best to add them. Please include a link to your LinkedIn profile.

Violeta,
Thank you for the listing. I will do my very best to live up to it!

in this end of the business.
You're very welcome, and thank you for your offer 🙂
Hi Violeta - This list is a great idea! Would you please include me on the next list? My company is Condo & HOA Smart. We are a real estate firm (but don't sell). Instead, my focus is on providing Due Diligence inspections of the Condo and Homeowners Associations. I work on behalf of the homebuyer, real estate agent or Association. I am a CPA, NC Real Estate Broker, AMS (Association Management Specialist) and CMCA (Certified Manager of Community Associations). I analyze the financial health of the association, look for possible future issues and determine any potential livability issues for the buyer. I am the only one providing this service in the U.S. We help homebuyers reduce their risk and real estate agents look good. I would appreciate it. Thank you!
Yhank you for your suggestion 🙂 If you leave a reply with your LinkedIn profile I could include it at the end of this article too 🙂

Violeta, through your experience, what would the best possible way of finding and sourcing international real estate investors and buyers? thanks, Al Mehanna, Navistar Business Group / Global management solutions
Well, I guess it takes some time and documentation. Seaching the internet, finding names, then searching to see what others said about them. Also, you could try LinkedIn themed groups. Then you get in touch with the selected people and perhaps have some meetings (online), discuss more, make an idea on whether they are or not what you are looking for.
Thank you for your support Violeta-Lorendana Pascal - I always strive to provide valuable information for our clients and agents.
All the best,
Scott
Good luck in everything you do, Scott!
Thank you Realty Biz News and Violeta-Loredana Pascal!
