Twitter Advanced Search

Thanks for giving the tip on where to find Twitter advance search because I couldn't find it anywhere. 

I thought it would be interesting to see if I could find any buyers or sellers in Encinitas that were on Twitter.  So I tried the following exact phrases:

• buying a home in Encinitas
• selling a home in Encinitas
• homeowner looking for Realtor
• homeowner looking for real estate agent 

I didn't have any results with "this exact phrase", so I next decided to use the "all of these words" field with "buying a home (Encinitas, CA) and the results were real estate companies in the area and no actual buyers.

Time to move away from the idea of finding home buyers or sellers through twitter.

So what could I use Twitter for.... finding what other Realtors are doing, find possible strategic partners or not bother with Twitter?

Next search went to finding realtors in the area.  I tried to different searches: 

• "Real estate agent"and used location of Encinitas, CA and didn't have the best results.
• "Encinitas Realtor" gave me some agents that I knew and chose to follow.

Next I decided to see what I would find for a lender by using the following phrases:

• Encinitas lender
• lenders in Encinitas

I found more real estate agents but no lenders! 

Obviously, I am not using the search function to obtain useful information.
