Real Estate Professionals Join Online Community
It was earlier this year that I reviewed an online community for pet lovers, and in that time span since, we’ve seen online communities pop up around the internet for just about any specific niche thinkable. Ning is a popular niche community building site, and in that popularity we’ve seen interests mix, people network, and relationships build. The arena of real estate is one such niche that is getting it’s online community presence established thanks to BiggerPockets.com, where investors, professionals, and afficionados come together to talk shop.
Locally, where I live, real estate agents have taken the social engagement philosophy seriously and have taken their properties to the web in words, video, and photos. Some have seen higher levels of success, but overall the experience has been a boom to business. BiggerPockets capitalizes on such individuals by allowing them to gather to chat, exchange, and explore ideas they have.
Four categories covered on BiggerPockets are:
- Knowledge
- Networking
- Dealmaking
- Marketing
With almost 43,000 people connecting on BiggerPockets, something is working right. The market for real estate professionals has grown and many turn to it as their secondary or primary source of income. Communities like this allow for these individuals to grow and develop new ideas that they can use to increase their success.
If you’ve seen your own professional status increase due to a certain niche social community, let us know!

Thanks for the writeup, guys! It is always great hearing that people find what we’re doing to be helpful. If you or any of your readers ever have a real estate-related question, please don’t hesitate to stop by BiggerPockets to ask. Remember, there are no stupid questions!
BTW – Just to be sure there is no confusion, BiggerPockets is not a Ning site, and is built on its own, proprietary platform.
All my best,
Josh
