Well, we couldn’t really escape it! We, like the rest of the world, are becoming increasingly aware of these networks’ outreach and have decided to assess its potentials, which we understand are enormous and worth exploring.
And the choice is a difficult one. There are endless social media tools available out there that we can all benefit from.
Being a company focused on luxury real estate, connected with several international networks, tools like Twitter and Facebook are a great way to communicate with those partners.
Twitter’s microblogging, for example, can be a great marketing tool. Many real estates use it to promote listings. With Facebook you may launch a topic for discussion with your network partners, where everyone can join in, make suggestions and who knows help you solve a problem or clear a doubt much faster than before.
But these are merely two of the tools available and those in the industry really need to have a look at the offer and determine which one, or which ones will benefit them the most.
At IRG we have decided to give Twitter and Facebook a go. Though taking baby steps still, we are determined to find out how far these two can take us.
You can follow us on Twitter on http://twitter.com/IRGIntlRG or join IRG International Realty Group on Facebook.

Pool at Quinta do Mar da Luz
As a birthday present from my partner João, I received a voucher for a romantic weekend at Quinta do Mar nestled on the stunning Lagos coastline, western Algarve.
We arrived within just a half an hour’s drive at this amazing Hotel and we were absolutely fascinated with the traditional Algarve architecture, beautifully landscaped gardens, modern facilities and breathtaking views over the Atlantic Ocean. The hotel’s manager, Dona Conceição and staff were very friendly and always there to cater for our every need with a smile.
On Saturday night we went for dinner at a local restaurant in Luz, the well-known fishermen’s village located only a few kilometers from Lagos city. Afterwards, we went for a pleasant stroll in Praia da Luz. On Sunday morning we enjoyed a delicious buffet breakfast on the garden deck terrace overlooking the lovely gardens and sea views.
Before our journey back home we toured around this magnificent tranquil retreat feeling very relaxed in such a peaceful atmosphere.
The Algarve clearly has hidden paradises waiting to be discovered!
