There are a few real estate agents who get Twitter right and who you can learn from. These realtors use the X Twitter network to engage others and generate leads for their businesses.
But most other real estate agents tweet out their own listings. Hence, they treat X Twitter like a billboard for their listings and their branding campaigns.
These types of billboards do not promote much engagement or interest on social media.
And yes, some realtors still protect their tweets. If you are looking to generate business please don’t protect your tweets. It’s like keeping your Instagram account private.
Luckily I have found some great examples of real estate agents that get Twitter today in 2024. (It took a bit of time I must admit.)

Why These 9 Who Get Twitter Right?
The 9 realtors are great examples for you who are using Twitter like the social network is intended for. Most importantly these real estate agents are using Twitter to engage with others and become known as an expert in the real estate field.
Many of these real estate agents mentioned have their own blogs and websites and have been using Twitter for almost a decade.
Here Are The 9 Real Estate Agents Who Get Twitter Right!
1 Bill Gassett, of RE/MAX Executive Realty in MA.
Bill doesn’t just tweet out listings, he tweets out a lot of information and engages with others.
Of course, he has his own blog and posts regularly on it.
He is one busy real estate agent in New England.
Bill has been on Twitter since 2007 – over 10 years – more than a decade of posting on X Twitter.
When you look at his profile and notice, that he posts about every hour and retweets and engages with other users. That shows he is ACTIVE and he is one of the few real estate agents who get Twitter right, year after year.
Bill has over 445,000 posts as shown above in his profile!
Of course, he has a great real estate website and blog to tweet from. Learn more about how you can get a great real estate website too.
Most of all I believe Bill is a great example of how a real estate agent can use Twitter today to market a real estate business.
2. Anita Clark at Warner Robbins, Inc.
She has been on Twitter for 14 years and is consistent with her tweeting but keeps up bio updated. Anita has her own blog called Anita’s Corner.
She does participate in various blogging communities and shares the content with others on her social networks. Furthermore, Anita is not afraid of video and has her own YouTube channel as well.
I’ve met Anita via the Tribber network and over on Pinterest.
3. Shannon Holmes, Great Homes Alabama from Birmingham, Alabama
Shannon is my 3rd pick. I really liked how she shares things with retweets and other content on her Twitterfeed.
She also has a fabulous blog that is becoming known for her expertise in real estate in the Alabama area. The blog helps her be one of the real estate agents who get X Twitter correct.
Being interviewed in Bloomberg BusinessWeek for her expert knowledge of the Birmingham Real Estate Market makes Shannon an influencer in her niche.
Shannon knows how to use Twitter and it looks like she is growing her following. She has been on the social network since 2009.
4. Karl Martone– RE/MAX Properties, Smithfield, Rhode Island
Karl Martone of the Martone Group is newer to Twitter than most of the realtors on this list. But his group is rocking it there from the start.
When you follow Karl and his RE/MAX team you will see they are genuine in each and every tweet. Not only that but they understand the value of tagging others and engaging on the Twitter network.
You won’t see them only posting their listings. However, they do share their Instagram posts on Twitter correctly so you can view the images on the Twitter feed.
That’s the power of social media when you can cross-promote!

5. Kim Starry from Keller Williams in Orlando, Fl.
I’ve added agent Kim recently to this blog post as she has an impressive 40,000+ X Twitter followers. (Do note: They are from a large market!) Kim uses some nice emojis and personal info in her bio. 🙂
If you look through their Twitter feed you will see that Kim shares great information on real estate and mixes it up with quotes, etc.
This real estate agent also has a rocking website with free downloads for information to help other agents market their business that is showcased in her bio above.
6. Lisa Hamilton, of Utah
This agent posts not only about houses but also about home design and tips for those getting ready to sell their homes.
Lisa has been on the X Twitter network since 2017 as you see from the screenshot above.
However, she is very good about sharing others content on the X platform as well. It’s not just about what she is selling.
7. Sherry Chris, CEO of Better Homes and Gardens
I love seeing a CEO tweet. And Sherry Chris surely does! She really gets and understands Twitter.
And, she is not afraid to show us who she is and what she is about.
Sherry has been tweeting since 2008. Sherry has quite a following too. You can tell she enjoys using the network and continually posts.
She shares all kinds of useful information about the real estate market and current events and holidays.
Therefore if you follow Sherry you will be glad you did as she covers quite a range of topics that are interesting.
8. Christopher Arienti, Boston
Christopher is quite active on the X Twitter network and shares others posts often on the social media platform.
As you can see he has over 42,000 posts on the X Twitter platform. He has been on for 14 years and understand how to network.
Furthermore, Chris shares others posts from his RE/MAX group in the Boston area where is the broker/owner. I like that he has his photo on the profile vs. the office.
His profile is personal too and how he wants to help others, that comes across in almost all of his posts on the social platform.
9. Amy Shair from RE/MAX in North Carolina
I really liked Amy’s profile. She explains what she does and that she is an award-winning RE/MAX realtor.
She includes some of her favorite things that are personal and makes her one of the real estate agents who get X Twitter right.
Amy has a beautiful website that is linked to her Twitter bio and includes an updated blog.
Having this blog updated gives her more content to share out on social networks like Twitter.
What More Real Estate Agents Can Do On Twitter to Succeed:
- Engage with others and network. Just tools like Circlebloom and Triberr if you have a blog. If you don’t have a real estate blog, get one! Having a blog helps generate more content for you to share that is helpful to future clients or past clients.
- Share relevant content to help buyers and sellers along the way to buying or selling a home.
- Be consistent. Use tools like Buffer, Hootsuite, MissingerLttr, or my favorite Agorapulse to save time and yet grow a presence at the same time.
- Have a profile picture and use your name. Using your own name vs. a company name gives you more of an authentic profile.
- Use Videos. Videos do very well on the network. It can showcase you better or a property you have listed.
- Furthermore, just use Twitter. Like the general Twitter population, many realtors just put up a profile and leave it. As the old saying goes “use it or lose it“.
- Use Tweetstorms to get your message across on X Twitter. This method is using one post and tweeting from it when you run out of 280 characters. Great for showing off a new listing on the market.

Hi Ashton, thanks for coming by and welcome to Inspire To Thrive. I do work with real estate clients and will be posting more geared to that in the coming months. Stay tuned. I hope you have a nice weekend. Is the market busy in your corner there?
Hi Lisa, I’m not a real estate agent, but I do all social media currently for one. I happen to run across your blogs, which are so helpful. Whether you use Facebook or Twitter, I believe you’re creating a brand. As in everything you need to separate yourself from the competition.
HI Aaron, welcome to Inspire to Thrive. Which of the social networks do you find is best for your real estate clients? Thanks for coming by!
It is so important to have a blog and to create content to use Twitter the right way. Of course you can do it without, but if you want to get the benefit of traffic to your site, you need to be the one providing some of the resources. The only one of the nine on your list that doesn’t also have a blog is Sherry Chris, but as CEO of Better Homes and Gardens she has plenty of content that she can use!
Hi Andrew, yes, it is great to have content to tweet out from and share others along the way too. Engagement with others on Twitter is key too. She IS there, #7. You must have overlooked her there. She is great! Thanks for coming by Andrew.
I think that I was a bit confusing there. I was trying to make a point that content was super important here since everyone on the list except Sherry had their own blog – but that Sherry was the CEO of BHG so she had plenty of content to use even without her own blog. Sorry to be confusing!
Hi Andrew, OH I get you know. Yes. Even without her blog she surely has a lot of content to tweet out. Thanks for clarifying that point Andrew.
Hey Lisa,
I am a real estate agent, and i used twitter and other social media to provide information about many project which are under me.

Hi Osho, welcome to Inspire to Thrive. Twitter really is an awesome network to connect with others and easily too. Thanks for coming by and have a great day.
Hi Lisa,
Bill and Mark are excellent. They belong to a few tribes I’m a member of. Super generous dudes, they often retweet my stuff. They get Twitter, big-time.
We are free to share/help through our business opportunity left and right but if you help others by promoting them, and if you engage regularly, Twitter gets easy. Really easy. As far as gaining traction on the site.
I set aside 1 hour daily to respond to a bunch of folks who retweet my stuff. I also retweet others thru the day. I find myself on top interactor lists daily because I do some business tweeting but a whole bunch of engaging and sharing other people’s content too.
Super post and awesome message for tweeting real estate agents.
Ryan
Hi Ryan, Cool to know – I’ll have to check that tribe of yours. Oh yes helping others and sharing others stuff is key on Twitter for everyone. I fell off a little the past few weeks with vacation but I’m back into it now. I need to engage more with the new followers, It is so important.
Thank you Ryan and I really appreciate you taking the time to comment here too today.
Hi Lisa,
This is one timely post for me. I am in the middle of trying to purchase an investment property and one agent didn’t even use the phone to call me back. Others went via email to chat. Most didn’t text. And worse of all the websites were horrible. There were no social share buttons.
Imagine how nice it would be to tweet a message? Gosh these guys are so awesome. Wish I were looking in those places. Have any in Seattle Wa? lol.
-Donna
Hi Donna, isn’t that amazing they done call back or even text? It does seem most love to email these days but tweeting would be so much quicker to start. I’ll have to see if any are in that area. Good luck on finding your investment property. Thank you for coming by Donna and I hope your New Year is starting well!

Hi Junaid, sorry for the late response, was off a few days. Welcome to Inspire to Thrive. Yes, Twitter is a great tool to influence people in business. Many small businesses still do not have Twitter profiles or have inactive accounts. Maybe they will try again in 2017 to use Twitter and see the value in it. Thanks for coming by and Happy New Year Junaid.

I do not use Twitter much because I truly don’t care what someone thinks of their breakfast burrito. I don’t have time for personal opinions on meaningless babble. Your article is very well written and informative. Great source and examples to make your point. I enjoy Real Estate greatly, I have been in and around real estate for 23 years and I love learning something new every day. Glad to see agents using Twitter and other forms of communication without the need to comment on personal experiences. Thanks for the article.
Welcome to Inspire to Thrive Rob. LOL, Not everyone shares their breakfast on Twitter these days. Twitter is a great way to share your information and what you know on our industry to become a leader and influencer. Thanks for coming by with your input and I hope you reconsider using Twitter in the future Rob. Have a great day!
Hey Lisa,
Twitter is the best tool to reach more people. In the real estate business, the best thing which brings more customers is the promotion.
And Twitter is the platform many agents use. I have noticed many people sharing their strategies about the current market and the value of the apartments.
‘Glad to know about some more real estate agents.
