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.
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 he
r 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!

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!
Thanks Derek for including me in this months list! I am honored to be associated with such a wonderful group of people!
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.
Great list. Once again I find myself nodding in agreement with the list and checking out the few I don't follow. It's great to see the people I rely on for advice, inspiration, learning, help, or just a few laughs represented on a list like this. Thanks for doing it.
Thanks for the shout out Y'all (that's southern for yoooz guys).
And thanks for a great reception in SF last week. You guys just rock!
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.
Fifty Fine Folks to Follow From the Flock at Roost- This Flock rocks!
Impressive ! I'm happy to say I know just short of “2″ people on your August list….
PS I <3 @MIZZLE !!!!
there are folks on this list that are smarter than i so thanks for the mention
Derek, glad to make the list! See 'ya in Vegas at RE Blog World!
We're honored to be included in such august company! We count these folks (and those on the first 50 list) as some of the best and brightest in the RE.net…plus, they're pretty kewl kidz, too! Thanks very much, Derek! Now, to attempt to live up to being included with these great peeple!
Just noticed there are 3 of us from CT on this list! w00T!! Reppin' for Connecticut!
Derek – Great list! Thanks very much for including me here. I am honored.
Thanks for the mention Roost! I am truly honored to know so many of these amazing people!
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.
Thanks for the props! I love ALL the folks listed here – Makes Twitter a super-fun place to be.
Thanks for inviting me to the party. Twitter has been a great place for me to listen, learn, and evolve… plus make some great new friends!
Um…how is it possible that I didn't make the list? My new goal in life is to make the next one! (JK)
Great list and I will definitely check some of these people out!

Wow, I'm so thrilled to be included! Thank you for including me, and I'll keep working hard to make real estate agents and their listings look good.
I've followed everyone on the list that I didn't have before. Thanks for some new great finds!
Just checked all 50 to be sure, and I was already following all but four.
Looking forward to the September list Derek, great job, thanks.
Oh yeah, I'm following those 4 now too!
