Why Marketing Matters More Than Ever for Realtors®

Visibility Without Strategy is No Longer Enough

Modern consumers make decisions based on trust, visibility, and connection. The right marketing strategy for real estate agents in 2025 must:

  • Increase awareness among your Sphere of Influence (SOI)

  • Position you as a recognizable expert in your local market

  • Create a steady pipeline of new buyer and seller leads

Whether you’re a solo agent or part of a team, multi-channel marketing gives you the competitive edge you need.

Top Marketing Channels Realtors® Should Be Using

Bold Social Media Marketing for Realtors®

Social platforms are essential for visibility and connection. Agents active on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube consistently outperform those who are not.

What works best:

  • Just Listed / Just Sold reels

  • Market update carousels

  • “Behind the scenes” agent life content

  • Neighborhood features and tips

Expert Tip: Use branded templates and animated content to reinforce brand recognition and increase shares.

Listing Marketing and Property Promotion That Converts

Listings Deserve More Than Just MLS Placement

To stand out, a listing needs a full promotional package. Effective listing marketing should include:

  • Animated listing graphics for social and email

  • Branded Just Listed postcards

  • Property feature writeups for SEO

  • Targeted email and retargeting campaigns

Your listing presentation is your brand. A strong marketing plan helps win sellers and impress buyers.
