Roost’s 50 RE People You Should Follow on Twitter for August 2009

So last month we put out the first installment of Roost’s 50 Real Estate People You Should Follow on Twitter. Start by checking out that list because it has some absolutely incredible people that you should be following. For the month of August, we didn’t skimp one bit on the 50. Below you will find 50 unique Tweeple that will bring interesting, thought provoking insight to your world. I know this month’s installment is a little late but I was at REBarCamp San Francisco and Inman Connect last week and I knew I would be meeting some new interesting people to add to this latest list.twitter_logo

I also wanted to point out that we’ve added a new piece to this monthly list called the “50 Featured.” We will be highlighting one of the members of each month’s list and provide a little more background. This month’s “50 Featured” is the remarkable Mariana Wagner AKA @mizzle.

As always, if you have someone you think should be part of the 50 for September, send me an email to derek.overbey@roost.com and give me their Name and Twitter handle and why we should add them to the mix. I hope you enjoy this list as much as I did putting it together. Please note that the list below is not in ranking order (yes, that’s for @respres for the July list). If you’d like to follow some of us here at Roost, you can click on @AlexChangSF, @doverbey or @roost.

“50 Featured” for August 2009 – Marianna Wagner AKA @mizzle

Marianna is just fun! There is no other way to put it. Fun online. Fun in person. As you can see on her Twitter page she sums it up with three simple words: Live. Love. Laugh. But the magic doesn’t stop there. Marianna is super smart too!

Mariana and hemay_7_2008_2_avatarr husband Derek (what a great name) are the creators and owners of the Wagner iTeam at Keller Williams Hope Realty which they started on 9/11/01. They have a huge love of family and spend lots of time with their two sons. This is why real estate fits their lifestyle so well. Plus they are pretty darn good at what they do.

I had the pleasure of meeting Marianna at REBlogWorld last year and she is everything that is advertised. Over the last year, I’ve had the opportunity to interact and get to know her even more and I can honestly say she is a “must follow” on Twitter. You should also check out her blog at http://coloradospringsrealestateconnection.com/. One more thing, count your blessings if you have a @mizzle sticker. They are going to be worth a lot of money some day!

  • Derek - Fantastic list... I enjoyed hanging out with you at the Eco Joe launch party in SF. You are as genuine and giving as the other RE.NET Rockstars on this list.

    The RE.NET community is filled with so many brilliant, cool, and giving people. The more of them I meet, the more I learn about our industry and am inspired to do my part.

    That said, I'm pretty sure this geek from Atlanta is not quite worthy to be at the cool kids table ;) Thanks for the shout out and doing your part.
  • Nice to see so many friends of @OnSiteStudios on the list.
  • Great list, I am honored to follow most and will catch up with the help of this latest post.
    Keep up the good work all, don't rest on your laurels, lol.

    Cheers. Ken

I'm blessed to be in the company of all you and look forward to the day when I can say I have shaken the hand of every person on the list. Thanks!

    Thanks Derek. I too am honored, and feel a certain sense of pressure to be interesting, funny and friendly (the later two won't be too hard). Great group of people, and glad to be associated with them all. Congrats to @mizzle. I hope to find out just how cool she is one day. See you all around the RE.net.
  • Certainly is an honor to be included in such company. Absolutely the most remarkable people every to shake up the real estate industry on this list. Not only do I know most of them personally I have their phone numbers programed & have done business with a few. I can't thank you enough for the opportunity.

  • What a great list with a whole bunch of great RE Twits! I can only echo what Jeremy said (above) "I'm honored to be associated with such a wonderful group of people!" How true it is! Thanks for including me, Derek. Great choice on highlighting Marianna, as well.

    Thanks Derek and everyone at Roost. I am very honored. B/W this list and July's, there are some very key hitters in the real estate social media world named. More importantly, I can just about say every single one is a dear, dear friend to me.... those very few that I don't know yet - I will be stalking you soon! :-)
