Most Visible Professionals in Real Estate is Over!
To find the most connected professionals in real estate, Proxio, the international MLS and global referral network, invited industry participants to enter the first annual Proxio Most Visible Professional (MVP) in Real Estate Challenge™. The search was held from July 7 – 27th with support from Inman News. Participants told us how many connections, followers, friends or associates they have on ten social and professional networking sites (see rules below).
At Proxio, we think that success in real estate is all about connections; from brokers and agents to industry consultants, bloggers and writers, being connected is the best way to maximize business. Exactly who is using Web 2.0 technology like social and professional networking to get connected? Here’s what we found out!

Proxio believes that breadth as well as depth matters in networking, so the numbers from all types of social media will be combined into one rating to identify the top networkers, those who are “Most Visible Professionals.”
The survey will ask you about the number of connections, followers, friends or associates you have on ten social and professional networking sites. Count them up and fill them in on the survey.

The Proxio Most Visible Professional in Real Estate Challenge is designed to highlight those people who make their livings in the real estate industry in one of the following categories:
Other categories will be considered as submitted, with the judges making the final decisions on eligibility. Sorry, employees of any of the 10 named sites are not eligible.
Connection numbers will be weighted to provide some balance across sites (so 1,000 Twitter Followers doesn't completely outweigh 100 LinkedIn connections, for example.) The numbers from the 10 listed sites will then be added together to come up with a total number. Additional credit will be added for connections on any international sites named by participants.
The connection numbers from the following sites will be multiplied as indicated to prevent overweighting:
Plaxo and Facebook: .50multiplier
Twitter Followers: .33multiplier
Judges are Proxio’s two co-founders and a real estate industry executive. All decisions of the judges are final.
