Social media allows you connect to an endless supply of possible clients. That is why social media marketing for real-estate is so important nowadays
For real estate agents, being on social media drastically unlocks up their sphere of influence and referral base, allowing for agents to connect with friends of friends of friends of clients and followers. Often, realtors apply various social media platforms, most commonly Facebook, Linkedin. Instagram and most interestingly Pinterest.
With Facebook Realtors can decorate their personal brand/marketing personality by setting up a page where they can post about their neighborhoods of focus, about their home listings, about engaging tidbits like home decor, and about contests they can throw to further engage their audience, all while keeping viewers constantly updated on the trajectory of a neighborhood or home sale. Facebook should be used mainly as a platform for engagement that lends personality to neighborhoods, homes, and—just as importantly—the agent himself. Agents can engage with followers/fans/friends on social media through asking questions, like what would you put in your dream kitchen? and staging contests with a gift for the winners relating to the current neighborhood of focus.

Agents can set up boards that range from home decor tips to personal interests, to listed homes, to the neighborhood’s character. Clients may visit the realtor’s Pinterest because photo pins are fun and engaging to view. It’s easy also to set up a Pinterest tab on Facebook, so visitors can easily transition between sites.
