AIR Links With Facebook, Twitter; Provides Real Time Information to Brokers
Top story
Ever alert to providing brokers with the most effective means of communicating with its membership, AIR is now utilizing the intensely popular Facebook and Twitter social web sites to provide “real time” information to member brokers covering everything from open houses to noteworthy news media items, announces Brandon Koepnick, senior market analyst for the Association. |
“Facebook and Twitter have become so popular and mainstream that this move makes a lot of sense for AIR and its members. The social media websites make it possible to keep our members and fellow brokers informed about important events with little effort on their part to access the information,” Koepnick said. |
Koepnick reported that among the items that AIR is posting on the two sites are open houses, networking events, CDX, AIRMail, Forms Training dates, events by cooperating organizations, AIRWaves articles, and news media pieces. |
| “Facebook and Twitter raise our information dissemination effort to a new level. We will be able to get these important announcements and events out in real time to interested parties. Once again, AIR is utilizing every meaningful outlet to better serve the brokerage community in Southern California,” Koepnick said. |

Marie Taylor Is About Solutions
Member Profile
When a solution to a real estate transaction is not readily apparent, Marie Taylor takes the stance that “I can find one”. It’s a testament to her tenacity and integrity. |
Marie is a senior vice president with a LEED AP designation for NAI Capital in the firm’s Pasadena office. She joined NAI over a year ago following three years of service with Sperry Van Ness in Pasadena where she was a recipient of the firm’s “Achiever Award” for her sales production in 2007.
|
At NAI, Marie specializes in the sale and leasing of industrial, retail, office buildings, land and mixed-use projects in Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley where she has focused since 2003. During this time she has completed over 185 transactions valued at approximately $70 million. |
Attesting to her “out-of-the-box” approach to completing transactions, Marie said: "I was recently invited into the landlord side of a property where the landlord just wanted comps. I saw right away that they needed more than comps; they needed consultants in order to retain an existing tenant. We were able to secure her a 10-year lease deal." |
This bold style has gained Marie notable completed deals. Recently she represented TSCO Pasadena LLC with colleague Dan Bacani in the lease of 12,750 square feet of retail space in Pasadena in a 10-year renewal. Easy Life Furniture was the tenant. She also represented The Planetary Society, the owner, in the sale of a Greene & Greene historic office building – The Sanborn House – in Pasadena. Architecture For Education was the buyer. |
Marie is a member of the US Green Building Council, and Commercial Real Estate Women. She resides in San Gabriel with her daughter Ashley, 21, and son Addison, 10. She fancies gourmet cooking in her leisure. |
