While the housing market is slowly on its way up, it could be set for a correction, reports the Financial Post. This could trigger a decline in consumer confidence and limit the number of home buyers. With competition for buyers likely to increase, it’s time to educate yourself about the market and increase your marketing to find more customers. Once you assess the battlefield, the below tips will allow you to stake a claim in the region:
Give a Reason to Care
Social media is a massive phenomenon, and real estate agents need to know how to properly utilize it. One small tip is the art of the “like.” Comment such as “like us on Facebook” or “follow us on Twitter” are hollow. Individuals ask the important question: “why?” Realtor.com suggests replacing this generic filler with something like “Find out all the answers to your questions on our Facebook page.” This gives customers a reason to care.
Another way to achieve this is by being able to relate. Placester suggests stories and narratives help build a connection with an audience. Provide detailed insight into how you overcame a challenge. Offer a new perspective, even if that perspective is “aspiring novice.” This directly relates to sincerity. Not everything has to be a piece of pure promotion. Sometimes, a nice joke or search anecdote about the industry, or about New York or Albuquerque real estate search, is perfect and perfectly fitting for the social media or search platform.
Robert Kiyosaki’s debut novel “Rich Dad Poor Dad” did not become one of the ten best-selling books of all time through detailed facts and analytics. It was achieved through stories, allusions, and real life accounts of struggles in real estate and business.
Facebook Budgeting
Real estate agents can use Facebook’s ad impressions or clicks ad services. You can get impressions simply by appearing on a page, and these rates are considerably lower than click-based programs. Furthermore, impressions can lead to clicks without paying additional costs, which makes impression Facebook marketing very appealing on a tight budget, explains BusinessBee. The pay per click program can cost as little as one cent per click, but can be increased appropriately by using the Syncapse Facebook Advertising Calculator. Keep track of advertising (and all other) expenditures with small business accounting software.
Using Mobile Apps to Stay on Budget
The Miami Association of Realtors stresses the importance of mobile friendliness. Your brand needs to show up where the clients are. This is accomplished with a mobile-friendly website design and an easy-to-use mobile app.
Video Video Video
Most people looking to buy want to see something to do with the property. A click through reel of pictures is nice, but Agent Image strongly suggests using walkthrough videos. Embed the videos on your website, keep them to a minute, and link the videos with the proper listings. Michael Domenichetti is a good example. Many networks, including YouTube, have free video embedding options to make this extremely simple. With free embedding options, the budget should remain intact.
