@RosevilleRockLn Heather O is a REALTOR® and media director for her team at Coldwell Banker Sun Ridge Real Estate (Roseville, CA). For almost ten years, Heather has worked with her husband and REALTOR®, Steve Ostrom and is affectionately labeled the team "Marketing Bossy Pants." With expansion of our team, she now oversees our power group of five (Jennifer Klein, Desiree Pointer, and Nichole Moody.) A proud CSU, Chico graphic design grad with over 13+ years of design experience, she strongly believes your branding should be clean, consistant, and recognizable both online and off.
Our social media commitment: keeping our branding consistent and "hyperlocal," maintaining a sincere and positive engagement online, not being afraid to expose our team personalities (the good, bad and silly), and finally - our commitment to creating educational blogs and videos for consumers and agents. We also make sure to review, support, and post about local companies and events. Our videos are our "e-interviews" and we are constantly adding to our "online real estate video library."
Heather loves Facebook, Twitter and YouTube and in the past two months recreated her already high-ranking website in WordPress (still a work in progress).
Past experience, articles and events: featured in the California Association of REALTORs® (C.A.R.) article: "Tweet. Post. Sell." - 2011 Our video is currently featured on the C.A.R. website for "TouchSign" - (ZipForm log-in page) - 2012 Speaker at the #GenBlue Coldwell Banker Sacramento Rally - 2011 Our "Moving" video was also recently featured on the Coldwell Banker LLC - FB Fanpage and Twitter page.

"Community building" is often an overused term, but it's something Ryan takes very seriously as he is constantly juggling community projects and efforts in his neighborhood and city.
As we embrace new technology. Just think about how our world has changed in the past ten years, and how words like “Google” and “YouTube” and “Facebook” are now household terms. Technological advances are happening all around us (quickly) and we need to stay on top of trends to stay relevant.
