As a real estate agent, marketing is key to your success. Unfortunately, you specialize in selling real estate, not in marketing. While some real estate agents struggle with the marketing of their business and properties, there are many different ways that you can incorporate marketing into your business. In fact, leveraging social media is a great way to kick-start your real estate agent marketing. Here are a few things to remember.
Most Social Media Is Visual
When you're marketing on social media, whether Facebook, Instagram, or any other platform, visuals are crucial. That means using high-quality photography to showcase the properties you're selling, and your agency as a result.
If you don't use a professional real estate photographer, that's okay. Just make sure that you're posting images that are crisp and clear, and avoid any filters that don't look natural on the picture. You will draw more people's attention and get more social media shares if the pictures look natural and not as though you've edited them.
Video Tours Garner Attention
One thing that many prospective property buyers like to see is a video tour of the property. This is a great way to confirm interest in the property before they actually come out to see it. Many people want a clear view of as much of the property as they can get before they spend the time traveling to it to see it, even if it's nearby.
Most social media platforms are seeing a huge increase in video engagement, so using video to promote your property is a great way to engage your potential buyers. Record video tours of your listings and share them on social media to encourage more views, shares, and likes.
Text Platforms Need Time Investment
Working with a text-based platform is harder than the social media platforms that thrive on imagery. If you want to grow a text-based platform, such as Twitter, you need to be active and engaging. This means spending time sharing short text bursts of the latest happenings, trending topics, and your listings. The more you post, the greater your chances of visibility, shares, and further account growth.
The more you understand about how to market yourself as a real estate agent, the easier it is to grow your book of business and sell properties. Using social media for some of your marketing allows you to capitalize on the current trends so that you can make the most of technology to market your listings and your agency.
