Social media marketing

More than just posting to social media, more and more real estate agents are becoming wise to putting money into advertising on social media networks. From a simple boost to native ad platforms within social media platforms, real estate agents are doing it all to get ahead of the pack.

Fifty-six percent of those in the B2C world who have used Facebook ads have reported that it’s resulted in more business for them. With more and more consumers on social media and online doing research, social is the next great advertising frontier.

Are you taking advantage of these trends? With a few more months (and the busy Spring and Summer months) ahead now is the time to reshuffle the marketing board a little to ensure you get the best exposure for your real estate agency and your listings!
