Social Media Post Ideas for Real Estate Agents
Just Listed
This real estate post should a given and on the top of your social media list! When listing your homes, be sure to include enough information to have them intrigued. Use photos that showcase the inside and outside, along with good lighting, and some neighborhood features. Also, at least list the price range to keep your warm list as accurate as possible.
Homeowner Tips
Share homeowner tips that are helpful during the buying, selling, and moving process. This list can create tons of social media ideas where realtors will always know what to post.
For example, showcase home upgrades that bring in more money, how to get approved for loans, why being pre-approved is a good idea, etc.
Featured Home of the Week
You can share listings as they come, but be sure to feature a home of the week. Ideally, this will be a high-end property with lots to be desired. Show multiple photos of even a home tour.
Showcase a Team Member
If you work with a company such as Remax or Keller Williams where you have a full team, be sure to feature them. This not only gives your business more brand awareness, but social media audiences love to see content outside of what you are trying to sell. Plus, it lets them get to know who you have working for you.
Ideas to include for team members:
Start date, experience, hobbies, a fun fact that most don’t know, family details, favorite food, etc.
Pose with the new homeowners
Don’t let this photo op pass you by. Pose with them outside of their newly purchased home. Other ideas to include are signage for just sold, champagne toast, or even balloons. All of the suggestions will jazz up your social media, not only for your audience, but you can outshine your competitors.
Buying Anniversary
Anytime you post to Facebook, it reminds you that you have “Memories” that you can share. These make great posts for #throwbackthursdays (#TBT) or just something sentimental to add to your page. Be sure to tag those homeowners, because this will get you more exposure with their audience as well as building rapport for lasting relationships.
Client Closing
Signing the paperwork is so exciting for both parties, so why not show that off! Take photos during the closing at the table! Another idea is taking photos with the owners holding their keys. Be sure to tag the local attorney office, along with others who helped along the way.
Just Sold
Be sure to get several photos of you and/or your team holding signage for just sold. Use your brand colors and caption how exciting the moment is for everyone.
Virtual Home Tours
People love being able to tour the home from their couch. Use Zillow’s 3D tool to create your virtual home tour. Be sure to share on all of your platforms that allow video!
Client Testimonial
It’s okay to give yourself a pat on the back! Create a graphic and spruce it up to really showcase your client’s testimonials. You can pull these from Google, Facebook, or even handwritten cards or notes that clients may send you. You can also have your clients to record a video testimonial which all of your social fans will fall in love with.
