Why Social Media Marketing Matters More Than Ever for Realtors®

Clients Research Realtors® Online First

Over 97% of home buyers use the internet during their home search, and many research agents online before reaching out. Your social media profiles act as your first showing.

Consistent Content Builds Trust

Strategic posting builds familiarity and credibility, helping you win more listings and buyer clients.

Increased Exposure Drives Referrals

Social media keeps you visible to your SOI, past clients, and local buyers and sellers—essential for generating steady referrals.

The Three Types of Realtor® Social Media Approaches

The Silent Agent: No Social Media Presence

  • No Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn activity

  • Missed visibility, lost referrals, and reduced credibility

The Overwhelmed Agent: Posting Without Strategy

  • Random quotes, generic graphics, inconsistent branding

  • No clear value proposition or targeted audience engagement

The Strategic Agent: Clear, Consistent, and Client-Focused

  • Posts 3+ times per week with polished, branded visuals

  • Consistent messaging aligned to buyers, sellers, and SOI engagement

  • Builds trust, authority, and client connections over time
