I have severl folks who reach out to me on FB Messenger. In fact, I just went under Contract tonight with a $1M buyer who reached out to me 2 weeks ago on FB Messenger! I ALMOST missed their message! 

For the most part it's text, phone and email though.

I only allow them to contact me by call, text (for non-essential only) or email.

I let them know I need all communication documented (I reiterate calls in emails) and if they expect an organized Realtor, to limit it to those three methods as I do not use social media nor APPs for communication in business.

Too many INBOXES!

It like herding cats.

Any one client will use text, phone and email.

I reinforce to all clients that text, phone and email are their options.

If a CLIENT chooses to send random non-sense into the Ethernet, they need to know, I'm NOT THERE.

Once they are clients communication becomes mission critical. IF they can't understand the importance of text, phone or email, there are bigger problems ahead.

I've actually encounters 'all about me agents' whose preferred communication channel is FACEBOOK. "What, you didn't read my response on Facebook!" Like the plague, I avoid such agents.
