Welcome to our second social spotlight feature. In our first feature, we talked about what you can expect from our Facebook page. Today, we’re pleased shift the spotlight over to another amazing network: Twitter.

The Lowdown

If you think Twitter is just another Facebook or a social network you can ignore, we’ve got a few statistics that just might blow your mind.

Here’s Twitter by the numbers.

  • Since inception, more than 300 billion tweets have been sent.
  • Twitter has added 53 million users in the past 12 months.
  • Twitter is growing the fastest in Asia Pacific, with expectations it will increase its user base by more than 33 percent in 2014.
  • There are roughly 7 million adult Twitter users in the United States alone.

But the question remains, what exactly is Twitter?

Keeping a 13,000-square-foot real estate office with about 100 desks, offices and meeting rooms filled with successful agents can be quite a challenge.

Unless you’re Chuck Sackett, manager of the La Mesa/El Cajon office of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties. With a real estate career launched in 1972, Chuck is chief recruiter for the sprawling agency overlooking Interstate 8. He came out of retirement a few years ago to bring strong leadership to the brokerage, and hasn’t left since.

“Recruiting is a major part of my responsibilities,” he said. ““I really enjoy that part of it. It’s a different day every day. Having so many people in the office, they’ve all got something they might need assistance with. So it’s fun to be able to help them out. It’s not necessarily that they need the answer, it’s that they need somebody to ratify that they’re doing the right thing. And giving new people the opportunity to make a pretty good living is very gratifying. You can do it out here if you apply yourself.”
