A local realtor was recently surprised by being  named within the top fifty realtors in Saskatchewan on social media. 

Bobbi Oscar of Re/Max Swift Current not only made the list but was ranked very high coming in at number seven. 

The list, prepared by PropertySpark which is a social media real estate service went through hundreds of agents across the province and used specific criteria to select their top fifty. They began with finding Saskatchewan real estate agents through different mediums and then looked at objective data regarding the Saskatchewan real estate agents’ social media presence across various social media channels.

In reaction to finding out she had made the list, Oscar says she thought "What is this all about? I haven't heard of this" and began researching. 

Oscar says it feels good to be recognized for the amount of time she puts into her social media account as it has become a whole other job keeping up with all the technology. 

She does use social media to post listings however, Oscar also says that you need to keep postings on a personal level to connect with people such as sharing pictures of her family and other things going on in her life. 

Oscar has been with Re/Max of Swift Current for 15 years and is entering her 11th year of actively selling. 

She has a large following on her Facebook and Instagram pages, and Oscar says social media has certainly taken over the way realtors advertise and it is where the majority of people of all ages now look for information. 

In terms of the future, Oscar certainly sees social media continuing to play a large factor in the real estate business.
