Why Is Social Media SO Important?
Having a presence online in today's real estate market is crucial. Most home buyers are searching online, and in order for them to find your business and your listings, you have to do more than simply have a website. People expect to be able to find you and learn about you on their favorite social media platform, but beyond that you benefit from having a social media presence in many ways. Here are the top 5:
- Learn more about your customers and connect with them. Social media allows you to interact with your customers and learn more about demographics and habits of your audience.
- Reach a new audience. Most people have a favorite social media platform that they spend most of their time on. By actively engaging with your friends and followers across the main social media platforms, you will find yourself connecting with people who otherwise might not have discovered your real estate business.
- Convert more leads. Most people don't like being sold to, but they will purchase and come back to a real estate agent they have made a connection with. Having a strong social media presence lets people see the human side of your business and encourages customer loyalty. Plus, the people you have connected with are more likely to share your business online with their friends, thus exposing your brand to more potential loyal customers.
- Your competition is already active on social media. Successful real estate agents know that social media is a big part of their marketing strategy, and they already have a presence online. However, it is never too late to begin your own successful social media marketing plan. With a smart strategy and dedication, it doesn't take long to build an online following and begin connecting with potential clients.
- It is cheap and easy. It is free to set up your own social media account, and it doesn't cost anything for you to post and interact online. You can decide to spend some advertising dollars on social media, or you can grow your presence organically with continuous, interesting content. If you decide to hire TriangleREVA for social media management, it is one of the lowest cost marketing services available, and it is a great value.
How Do Top Agents Manage It All?
While it is free to setup social media accounts, the truth is it does take time to gain the experience needed to post effectively to each social media platform. It also takes time to actively manage accounts on all the sites available. Successful agents know that if they dedicated the time needed to social media and all the other marketing musts, they wouldn't have much time to do their actual job, helping clients buy and sell real estate. They dominate their market by getting expert help in areas such as social media marketing for real estate.
Many agents use a virtual assistant to post on their behalf on social media. I usually recommend an agent pick their favorite social media site to engage in, and let me handle the others. I have been a real estate virtual assistant for years, and have the experience to get you started on the top social media sites. For instance, if you love Facebook, do that. I'll monitor what you post on Facebook and use your posts to cross promote on other popular sites. Or, if you aren't into social media at all, that's okay too. I can manage your social media presence and drive people to your website and listings.
