In addition to social networking profile you must have a blog as well. This is your personal space where you can talk about anything that you want and engage the people who take interest in what you have to say.
It is highly recommended for agencies to create separate pages for their agents as well and highlight one of their best agents and give him special place on social network. This is a great way to win people’s trust. Furthermore, some real estate agencies have really made themselves known on the internet by posting commonplace content in a unique way. For example, posting pictures from the towns and regions you are working for as a real estate agent can really engage your customers. Post pictures without captions and ask interesting questions about the pictures to engage the people.
Create a blog and provide useful information to potential customers through the blog. This is going to be a great resource for the people who are looking to buy properties or sell them. The tips you provide will be most interesting and helpful for them because they will be coming from a professional real estate agent. Hold competition on your online company pages on social networking websites to make things even more interesting for people. Ask your fans and followers to post the pictures of their homes and then let the voting decide whose house is the most beautiful house.
You can also benefit from paid marketing on social networking websites. Facebook is a great place where you can buy ads and have them posted on potential customers’ computer screens. You can do the same with Twitter as well. Lastly, now you have mobile devices everywhere and mobile devices are all about applications. There are some really nice applications that allow realtors to connect with each other. These applications are literally connecting thousands and millions of realtors from around the world. This makes you a part of a huge network and benefit from the public that is in touch with this network.
