Top Tweeters for Students Studying Real Estate


Image from: http://www.criticalproof.com



I am really looking forward to taking over the undergraduate real estate Research Methods module next semester. As part of my preparations I want to create a list of property-related tweeters for students to follow. I'm doing this so that:

  • students can see how brilliant Twitter is for real estate research, and 
  • they can widen their focus of property beyond traditional commercial property to encompass retail, residential and niche property, as well as planning, urban design, and other related areas.


Putting to one side that you might 'expect' property students already to be following the property tweeters such as:
  • the 'big' property companies;
  • the trade publications;
  • professional bodies such as the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB),

... so the question is - who else should they follow and why?



Here is the beginning of my list of tweeters - any suggestions welcome! It definitely needs more retail representation, for example. I would love this to be a collaborative effort that could be shared with real estate students in other universities, so please help if you have a good suggestion. Note, I have not included any tweeters whose information or links are behind a pay wall/require a subscription.

UPDATE (September 2013) - thanks to those that suggested additions. I have added those that I think are directly relevant to students' learning.
