Sequoia Joins Social Media Phenomena!
 Greetings Friends,
Social media is all the rage, and at Sequoia, we are joining in.  No, we don’t necessarily need more websites to maintain and update, yet, it is an opportunity to reach out and let you know what is going on in the market.  Best of all, you can pick the channels that you enjoy using to hear from us.
So here is the rundown:
Our primary website (soon to have a complete overhaul): 
www.SequoiaRealty.com
Our Sequoia Facebook page:  
http://www.facebook.com/SequoiaRealty . This is where we post news and events.  Why not “Like” us?
My Facebook page:

.  I would look forward to being “Friends”!

We also have a YouTube channel:

  where we host videos about available properties and other topics of interest.  You may want to “Subscribe.”  We just started this.

So that is what we have been busy with these last few months.  Working on ways to communicate better, to keep you informed in a way that works best for you.
