Stik.com Review – Finding the right Realtor® within your friend network
Stik.com allows consumers to search within their network of friends to find the right professional.
Stik.com leverages Facebook Connect to identify any Realtors within your friend network. They use several different metrics to determine if an individual is a Realtor®, one of which includes scanning your Facebook work history.
Because the average consumer has more than 40,000 people in their “friend of friend” network, Stik.com almost always returns a highly relevant result. The key? Realtors®, who create a profile on Stik, will rank higher in their search results.
Even though the traffic numbers for Stik.com are a fraction of the major Real Estate websites, it is important to understand that this is going to be a very hot trend in 2011. By integrating with Facebook Connect, websites are able to boost their traffic, increase the time spent on their sites, and create a deeper more personalized user experience. It is only a matter of time before all the major Real Estate sites follow in Stik.com’s footsteps.
The bottom line
Stik.com should be a part of your overall marketing strategy, it is completely free and it takes less than 60 seconds to set up so why not do it now.
Here is the link to get started.

The potential in this is pretty huge! Thanks for sharing.
We think so! This gives agents yet another reason to get on Facebook and start building their brand!
Looks great, Easy to get started and the recommendation request is very user friendly. Lot of potential with this.
Is there an option to have it interface with our fan pages as opposed to personal profiles?
At this point right now, I don’t believe so. I asked Nathan (co-founder) about integrating with existing fan pages yesterday. He said this was a priority for them, so I would expect some update soon on that issue.
Jim are they on Twitter? If so what is their handle?
They are on twitter – @labenz
Not very active, but that could change very quickly since they just got featured on Techcrunch and Tech Savvy Agent
Just signed up. Took less than 5 minutes since it pulled a lot of my information from Facebook. Great way to passively connect to even more people. The fact that it browses their friends connections is huge, as they are more likely to trust their recommendations than a random google search. Looking forward to the integration with fan pages.
@Dillion – yes it is really quite simple. Keep us posted with any results
I am one of the co-founders of Stik. We appreciate the feedback and comments so far, and we’ll definitely look into the suggestions (mostly on the TSA Facebook page) for how to improve the product.
If you have any questions or concerns that you’d rather not publish, email me at nathan@stik.com.
What is stream publishing and stream reading?
Is this only for realtors? I am a professional photographer.
