Why Social Media Is Your New MLS

In real estate, great location wins; on social, great attention does. Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn each host different mindsets. Meet people where they already scroll, and serve useful, local content. Drop a quick hello below and share your city—let’s tailor ideas together.

Why Social Media Is Your New MLS

An agent filmed a 20‑second kitchen reel highlighting morning light and a coffee nook. A relocating buyer DM’d: “Is this near the bike path?” A same‑day FaceTime tour, one weekend visit, and a smooth closing later, that micro‑moment funded a month of marketing. Share your best micro‑win in the comments.

Reels and Short Videos That Tour, Not Tease

Turn every listing into a three‑beat story: entrance, hero feature, neighborhood perk. Keep captions scannable, overlay labels for context, and include a soft call‑to‑action to DM for a full tour. Comment “script” and we’ll send a 30‑second template you can record today with your phone.

Stories and Lives Build Real‑Time Trust

Use Stories to answer common questions before buyers ask them: HOA details, commute insights, inspection tips. Go Live during golden hour showings, then save the replay to Highlights. Poll your audience on finishes and price guesses to spark DMs. What sticker gets the most replies for you?

Hashtags, Geotags, and Local Discovery

Think like a mover, not a marketer. Mix neighborhood geotags with intent hashtags such as #YourCityRealEstate and #MovingToYourCity. Pin a neighborhood guide reel to your profile top row. Share your three best local hashtags below, and we’ll suggest three more you might be missing.

Facebook: Groups, Events, and Retargeting Gold

Offer useful posts: market snapshots, open house invites, school boundary updates, and vendor spotlights. A friendly agent shared a “Saturday dog‑park map” and earned three listing inquiries that month. Add value first, then mention how to reach you. Drop your favorite group and we’ll share a post idea.

Facebook: Groups, Events, and Retargeting Gold

Keep your Page clean: professional cover, About section with neighborhoods served, pinned video intro, and weekly posts that mix listings with local life. For Marketplace, use clear disclosures and rapid replies. Tell us your Page link, and we’ll DM a checklist to tighten it in fifteen minutes.

LinkedIn: Authority Engine for Referrals

Post concise, useful updates: inventory shifts, commuter‑friendly neighborhoods, or renovation ROI lessons. A Denver agent shared a two‑paragraph post on appraisal gaps and got three introductions from colleagues. What market insight could you explain in plain English this week? Share it below and we’ll help refine.

YouTube: Evergreen Tours and Search Traffic

Create ten‑minute guides with chapters: who lives here, housing types, commute, schools, parks, and weekend spots. Close with a gentle invite to schedule a tour. An agent’s “Living in Riverside” video brought steady weekly inquiries for a year. What neighborhood should you film next?

YouTube: Evergreen Tours and Search Traffic

Use clear, curiosity‑driven titles like “Pros and Cons of Living in Eastwood (2025).” Faces, bold contrast, and two or three words on thumbnails pop. Add timestamps for easy scanning. Paste a rough title below and we’ll help sharpen it for search and clicks.

YouTube: Evergreen Tours and Search Traffic

Place your calendar link and buyer guide in the description and first pinned comment. Mention them naturally at transitions, not every minute. End screens should point to related videos to keep viewers binging. Want our description template? Comment “YT” and we’ll share it.

Pinterest Boards That Help People Plan a Move

Create boards for “Living in [City],” “Best Suburbs for Families,” and “First‑Time Buyer Tips.” Use vertical graphics, clear overlays, and links to your YouTube guides. A Phoenix agent attributes two cross‑country buyers to pins that ranked for neighborhood names. Share a board idea for feedback.

Idea Pins as Mini Tours

Build a seven‑page Idea Pin: exterior, entry, kitchen, primary suite, outdoor space, neighborhood perk, call to action. Keep text minimal and keyword‑rich. Save as a highlight on your profile. Comment “mini tour” and we’ll send a storyboard you can replicate across listings.

Nextdoor and Hyperlocal Platforms: Be the Neighbor Agent

Neighborhood Leads With a Softer Tone

Offer driveway snow‑removal tips, disposal schedules, and charity drives. An agent shared a porch‑pirate prevention checklist and later received a listing from a grateful neighbor. Keep replies gracious, and move detailed chats to private messages. What helpful post could you share this week?

Local Partnerships Amplified Online

Highlight a coffee shop near your listings, tag them on multiple platforms, and co‑host a small giveaway. Cross‑promotion earns goodwill and reach. One agent’s latte‑on‑us campaign turned into three appraisal appointments. Share a local partner idea and we’ll suggest a simple collaboration plan.

Timely Updates Build Durable Goodwill

During storms or traffic disruptions, post verified updates and resources. People remember who showed up when it mattered. Afterwards, create a recap with home‑care tips. Comment “checklist” and we’ll send an emergency‑prep post you can adapt before the next weather alert hits.
