Personally, I prefer email but it really depends on the customer.  Some of mine do not have a computer or are not that comfortable with it so calling is best.

I usually respond in the method they contacted me as their prefered method, when confirming appointments or anything that could be miscomunicated I make sure its not just verbal, prefer text or email for papertrail.

I'll ask them how they prefer to communicate. Anymore, it's:

  1. texing
  2. phone calling
  3. emailing

Totally out: faxing

I use Facebook.

When I teach workshops on social media I ask agents if they remember a time when they would ask leads "what is the best way to contact you phone or email?" Then came "... phone, email, or text?" pretty soon agents will say "are you on Twitter? I'll tweet you more information about any listings that come up, would that be alright?" 

This is a great way to brand yourself online, because Twitter is not only sent to your clients it is also viewed by their followers too. This increases your online reach and can be a great tool for your future brand.

Any method is fine with me as long as it's consistent. Communication can be diminished by using too many sources and sometimes this may be intentional. Email is my preference from an organizational standpoint.
