LOS ANGELES (AP) - When you sign up for Facebook or Twitter, you expect to get a stream of random messages from the people that make up your virtual social network — but pitches on homes for sale?

Agents who use the social networking sites to market properties say they hope to generate referrals — just as you might tip off a friend about a new for-sale sign on a lawn.
