Hands down, it's a face to face. I try very hard to "arrange" a f2f as soon as possible after initial contact, in order to cement a relationship and start to understand what exactly the potential client is looking for, beyond the cold "3 bed/2 bath" that might have originally sparked the connection.

Face to face is the best way in my opinion. Now with that being said the Milennials prefer to use devices for communication. That has been my experience. Often I will have many text communications before I even meet the people. I feel like the relationship has already gotten off to a good start.

Can't beat face to face because you can tell what they are feeling. I'm on alot of webinars & such & I don't think you could pick up some subtle hints you could in person.

Diana,
We ALWAYS travel to meet our clients (with one exception). How else are we going to understand their market, see and feel the homes they sell, etc...Even in our neck of the woods, we have clients show us what is unique. And face to face you know so much more than on a conference call. A

Face to face is crucial to establish a good foundation, whether or not they first found you on social media. This of course cannot always happen, but if the opportunity is there, face to face usually solidifies a potential relationship...if it was meant to be.

Real estate is all about relationships so, no question, it's face-to-face, Diana Dahlberg. However, you can supplement social platforms quite nicely during those times that you're overwhelmed with clients.
Also, I spend far more time on others' FB pages than my own though! If I can't see them as often as I'd like, they still get 'love' from me on their FB page! ;-)

Face to face is nice and important for real communication.
But the social platforms do allow for more time to be spent on those bonds.

I think this is determined by your client. Millennials may be best serviced by social platforms and video conferences. Seniors would be lost by such an option.

The one that allows the best projection of ones PRESENCE.
The responses you will receive is based on one side. Upon that a relationship can not be built.
A GOOD relationship is about TRUST. Some convey trust by the ink they wear, others by the brand they promote, and another by the understanding they reflect. For the circuit to be completed the other side must be tuned to the same frequency. It is like a key looking for a lock. some never find a match and they are all in my kitchen cabinet drawer.
For me, I want to meet'em. But there are many who trust and have never met over many seasons and even tragedy. There a relationship lives and breathes in a world where words lose the capacity to convey how two lives sojourn in hope for day.
For the citizen with real estate on their mind, they simply want to know their voice will be heard.

Face to face. Nothing is better than actually meeting someone. So much of body language is lost with online/video.

With most of my leads finding me online and using my website for their search it could be a couple of years before I meet them face to face. I encourage them to read my blog and visit my Facebook Business page to learn more about me and this area. Emailing, phone calls, and text messages have to suffice until we do finally meet.
If a lead is local I definitely like to meet them at my office early on.

Face to face if possible. Social platforms are not as cozy. Although, in a class today they reinforced that we have to nurture our relationship however the client wishes.

Face to face, however I have had clients where the only communication was a telephone conversation and/or emails and had great connection with them. I've been able to sell many properties to out of States Sellers and from other Countries.

Unless one is running their business anonymously (think AR Q&A) then face to face - unveil it baby - is the best way to make connections with real people.

A referral into a Face To Face is best. But, social has value and I've used video conferencing with my out of area relocation peeps.

Diana Dahlberg - best is face-to-face, followed by Video Conferencing and avoid social platforms - just my opinion.
