Toledo Realtor Marketing Chat with 419 Living’s Kaitlin Keiser
For 4.5 years in my real estate business, I struggled to get leads from social media. It was frustrating because I knew my “sphere of influence” was right that at my fingertips. Once I took a step back and realized that the name of the game was to get my followers engaged and interacting, everything changed. I decided to build a page that would interest anyone local, not just anyone looking to buy or sell, because eventually, these people would want to move or they may know people who want to. To do this, I started highlighting local businesses, talking about local events and sharing my favorite places to go, to eat at and to visit. Then I would sprinkle in real estate tips, testimonials and share what I was selling. Along with this, I began showing myself and my personality more and I also worked to be extremely consistent. By showing yourself, people begin to know, like and trust you as the expert in your area. Being consistent was also very important because the algorithms love that and you’re more likely to be seen. These strategies are a lot of work behind the scenes and I can’t tell you how many times I wanted to give up, but they have led to me being listed in the top 100 real estate agents in Ohio for social media and the top 15 real estate agents in Toledo for social media, so I can attest that they do work!

Facebook Marketing for Realtors
While all the above sounds easy in theory, there is a reason some estate agents are doing far better than others on Facebook. They have a strong understanding of Facebook marketing or are using/hiring somebody else that does.
You might think you can just gain followers easy, create a few posts of your properties, and the leads will come rolling in. This is not always the case as there is so much more to it if you want to be successful.
You need to have a plan, a strategy, and implement it correctly. We are here to help you do just that. As experienced Facebook marketers, we know how to use the platform to not only get your properties seen by homebuyers but also to turn them into followers, likes, and eventually, conversions.
How do Realtors use Facebook for Marketing?
What we can do to help you market your portfolio of properties:
- Help you to formulate a strategy and goals
- Build up your followers
- Design an effective follow-up system for leads
- Teach you how to create compelling posts/ads that convert
- Use Facebook ads to target the right audience
- Review the performance of your ads
Before you know it, you will have a large following, will know how to effectively use Facebook ads, and create advertisements that entice, compel, and ultimately, convert.
Facebook Marketing for Real Estate
When you create posts or ads of your properties, there is more to it than adding a picture and listing a few features. Homebuyers will have seen tons of ads, so yours have to stand out and compel them enough to click your post.
What should Realtors post on Facebook?
Here are some tips when posting properties:
- Always add many pictures to the post. Show off as much of the property as you can.
- The link to the property on your website has to be early in the post. People do not have the patience to go searching through the post. If they see the pictures and like it, they want to click straight away.
- Curiosity leads to engagement. Do not reveal details such as the price or location of the property in your post/ad. Anyone curious will click the link to find out.
- Use the description to entice while detailing as much as you can about the property.
