    Social Media Marketing for Real Estate – The Myths & Truths2021-02-25T23:06:51+00:00

    Social Media Marketing for Real Estate

    The Myths & Truths

    Over 3.8 billion people globally use social media platforms to connect, communicate, entertain, and educate. However, there are still many misconceptions about the role and impact of social media in business, which often results in individuals shying away from using this impactful tool. It is important to debunk these myths so users can have a better understanding of the positive impact social media plays in a business’s success. Whether you are a new Realtor® or a well-established agent, social media should be a part of your tool kit. 

    Let’s clear up some common misconceptions about social media. 

    social media user graph by age group

    Myth 1: It’s for the younger generation only

    Truth: 19.2% of Canadian Social media users are between the ages of 35-44 while 37.2% are over the ages of 45 years old.

    Recent studies show more than half of social media users are eligible home buyers. While Facebook remains the most used platform, especially among the older generation, Instagram, YouTube, and Pinterest are some other critical platforms to use within your marketing strategy. Recently, lifestyle oriented Realtors® have reported getting buyers from TikTok videos as they connect with the right people with a common passion.

    Realtors use of social media is a long term game

    Myth 2: Social media campaigns can get me leads right away.

    Truth: Possible, but most often not – it’s a long term game. 

    Social media is a long-term investment and just like most things, consistency is key. Through consistent brand showcasing on social platforms, brand awareness can be created, which results in long-term benefits. Some long term benefits include: brand recognition, credibility, loyalty and associations. Whether you are helping your client find their dream home through or selling their current home, Realtors® will benefit from the long-term investment of creating strong brand awareness through social media platforms.

    Myth 3: It is expensive

    Truth: It doesn’t have to be

    The great thing about social media is you can do it on your own! Free tools like Canva or video generators for Instagram stories allow you to create your own content if you don’t want to pay for the assets to be designed. Of course, it requires time and effort dedicated to content creation, audience engagement and tracking your progress, therefore, it requires a time commitment. Paid ads on Social Media is also a fraction compared to newspapers or magazine ads. However, don’t forget to continue with organic engagement with your audience!

    Social media returns dividends if executed the right way. In the end, the cost of social media campaigns, whether that be time or money, is less expensive than losing a sale.

    Later business content scheduling for Instagram (Real Estate)

    Myth 4: It is time consuming.

    Truth: It does take time but there are tools to make it efficient.

    As previously mentioned, it takes consistency in order to be successful. However, there are many tools that can help you remain consistent while ensuring you are still being efficient. There are content scheduling tools such as Later that allow you to plan content days, weeks or months in advance. Additionally, these tools are able to generate helpful analytics that let you grow and track your posts. Engaging with your audience is something you can do between appointments, as you wait for your coffee order, or in lieu of TV time – it takes little time but it goes a long way. 

    Check out some Instagram Do’s and Don’ts that will help your Instagram content.

    Social media is a powerful tool that should not be overlooked in your marketing toolkit. With a bit of planning, this flexible marketing tool allows you to reach your desired audience regardless of their age or your budget. Without social media marketing, you could be missing out on your next opportunity.

    Digital Dominance for Real Estate Agents in a COVID World2021-01-04T22:31:23+00:00

    Digital Dominance for More Listings & Buyers

    Intelligent online tools to get more listing presentations, send out more CMAs, and get more buyers!

    Now is a better time than ever to get creative, stand out, and use the digital world to your advantage!

    Website traffic is up 15 to 20%, and social media engagement has increased by over 60% than normal usage rates since the COVID crisis began. More than ever before, people have become more hesitant to meet up right away. Being active on social media and being prepared with stunning online listing presentations could make all the difference in securing a lead instead of playing phone tag with them for days.

    Here are a few key platforms that a real estate agent should have ready to go at any given moment:

    DIGITIZED LISTING PRESENTATIONS

    A great online introduction can dramatically increase your odds of an in-person meeting with a seller or buyer. Now especially, it’s crucial to have a beautiful online presentation (like a Keynote by Steve Jobs) readily available to entice potential clients. Whatever great presentation booklets you have can be converted to a digital slideshow that can be sent by email or shown during a zoom call!

    This is how these digital listing presentations can help :

    • Far more visually engaging than emails/phone calls alone

    • Capture potential clients attention with a digital presentation

    • Keynote/Powerpoint-like performance, but created on Google slides for optimal compatibility on all platforms

    • Increases your odds of an in-person listing presentation and a CMA

    *The inner slides are not shown as they are uniquely designed for each client, and is proprietary material that we will not show to competitors.

    Digital presentations are amazing additional ways to stand out, showcase your past successes and help get one step closer to securing a client.

    The beautiful print booklets we create at Brixwork can be condensed and transposed to a Google Slideshow that can be easily shared to anyone to view online. And whenever they’re ready for an in-person meeting, they can take a look at the sharp print version, along with a CMA.

    Digital Listing Presentations for Realtors®!

      YOUTUBE VIDEO TOURS &
      MATTERPORT 3D

      With YouTube being the second most used search engine, after Google – YouTube still maintains its status of being one of the best platforms to use to your advantage to gain better traffic to your site.

      YouTube should always be a utilized platform for any real estate agent because:

      Brixwork understands the importance of having attractive media …

      available for your listings, and that’s why our websites support YouTube or Vimeo embedding for every listing!

      How to attach a video to a listing!
      How to attach a Matterport or 360 home tour!

      Another pivotal platform that changes the real estate game in virtual tours is Matterport. Matterport is an easy to use camera system that allows you to create immersive home tours and Brixwork happily offers Matterport enablement to your page, at no extra charge!

      Instagram & Facebook
      Live Videos

      Running virtual open houses and tours on live streams is an amazing way to dramatically increase your brand exposure, on top of promoting the listing itself of course.

      Instagram and Facebook help your real estate social media presence by:

      • Increasing your brand’s awareness on various platforms (the more the better!)

      • Maintaining an active status on social media

      • Providing more content on social media for a better ranking

      Since open houses are a lot less active during this time ..

      Having an active online presence will give your brand exponential exposure to potential clients. Using Instagram and Facebook to run virtual tours, share videos & photos that showcase your listings and your brand can greatly increase the chances of landing a private showing sooner or later.

      ENGAGE WITH YOUR VIEWERS IN A UNIQUE WAY!

      The Live video feature tends to be an under utilized feature – but definitely an additional step that should be included in your social media routine – here’s why:

      • Live videos are amazing for interactivity with viewers and you can add others to your Live video (opportunity to collaborate)

      • Viewers can watch, comment, like in real-time during live home tours

      • You can use this as an opportunity to showcase your personality and your brand to potential clients

      • Boosts your discoverability – your followers get notified every time you start a Live video! It’s like a free advertisement!

      • You can save your Instagram Live as a story for 24 hours for those who didn’t watch or want to rewatch (two in one)

      • Facebook Live videos can be downloaded and then uploaded to your YouTube or Vimeo account, or personal blog if desired

      • Facebook live videos get around 6x more interaction than a non-live video!

      Plan & Prepare To Get The Best Results On Your Live Stream

      Before you go straight to making the most of the Live video feature, it’s important to build some excitement around your Live video! Here are a few ideas for your live stream:

      • New listing announcement with a live listing tour (state the date & time of it!)

      • Real estate Q & A sessions

      • Collaborate with others and create a real estate market update segment

      Stay online and be digital-friendly!

      The ultimate goal in adjusting to a mainly digital world and creating content for newer social media platforms is to get you more visibility to help build your brand! Don’t miss out on these opportunities – reach new audiences by increasing your engagement and connecting to potential clients!

      Tips & tricks for the live stream feature:

          #1 – It’s Often Your First Impression!

          As mentioned above, if almost 40% of your visitors are seeing the listing/property/building detail page first, this is your storefront in the digital world. Making sure this page looks even better, with your branding fully present, can make a big difference in brand awareness and repeat visits.

          “New visitors spend an average of 2 minutes 31 seconds on site compared with 5 minutes 31 seconds for returning visitors.”

          – From The KissMetrics Blog (8 Important Stats From 18,000 Websites)

          #2 – More Features & Better Google Performance

          More 3D tours, PDF floorplans and other custom features available offer your visitors much more to enjoy, while giving Google much more valuable data to index on your website. This is a far superior investment to creating single-property websites on a case-by-case basis. Boost your image & ranking at the same time!

          #3 – Make Your Clients Even Happier

          Every homeowner loves being featured in the spotlight. Our listing detail page upgrades allow you to showcase your own listings with far better design & photos than the 3rd party listings fed from the MLS® Reciprocity systems. When these pages are shared on Facebook and found on Google, they will look fantastic – making your homeowners even more excited!

          Christmas Gift List Tips To Stay Within Budget & Get Everything In Time2014-11-24T17:33:40+00:00

          Start your Xmas gift list on Google Spreadsheets!

          Remembering everybody on Santa’s list while keeping in budget can be a stressful thing during every Christmas season. Fortunately there are technologies you can use to make this process much simpler. Using Google Spreadsheets, you can make a list you can access from your computer, smartphone, tablets etc. (anywhere with internet!) and keep track of your holiday preparation.

          You will need a Google Account first (either a corporate email/other email registered to use with Google, or a @gmail account – most of you will have one or the other already!).

          Keep Within Responsible Budget

          Another advantage of preparing it before going shopping is you can have an idea of how much you are going to spend and check if it is in your budget.

          Once you are in the spreadsheet, click in a range, type =SUM(, select the amount you want to sum and press enter. You can repeat the same process to check the average by typing =AVERAGE(. See it bellow:

          You can keep it as an online version to make any change and print it as soon as you’ll be ready to start shopping! Talk about #efficiency! For more #efficiency tips follow @jeffkee on Twitter!
