It’s a great time to jump into a career in real estate. Many companies are hiring real estate agents who are hungry for hard work and success. One of the biggest changes to the field in recent years is the rise of the use of social media to sell real estate. EXIT Realty Upper Midwest is well aware of this trend. As a leader in real estate agent investor training, they are committed to teaching both new and experienced real estate agents how to use social media to grow their business.

Here are a few tips to help you to grow your real estate franchise via social media:

• Your Account Should Reflect Your Franchise and Business: The safest bet for any real estate agent in training is to create a social media account that acts as a landing page and a way for you to communicate with prospective buyers. Make sure each page has a description of services, a link to your website and other social media accounts and your geographical location.
• Start Small: It’s recommended to create either a Facebook or Twitter and a Google+ page. Facebook is easy to build a community with your audience. Twitter is simple for real time updates and for even commercial real estate listings. Google+ will boost your website’s SEO so it appears higher on the results page. Make sure that each social media account is the same name.
• Post Consistently And Regularly: Keep a regular schedule to update your social media pages. Consider hiring a contractor or community manager to manager your social media channels.
• Supply Useful Content: On your social media pages, it’s imperative that you share information with prospective buyers. Articles like “15 Tips to Follow When Selling Your House” or “Why Now Is The Time to Buy” can motivate and inform your customers.
• Use Keywords And #hashtags: When composing posts and updates, think of how people will search for what you are selling. For example, if you are selling a residential estate and want to promote it on Twitter, use several hashtags and combinations to express where the house is and that it’s on the market.
• Humanize Your Business: Social media is a great way to connect with young buyers. Make your real estate and investment company human by sharing team photos, successful real estate merger and acquisition deals and discounts.
