Instagram is such an aspirational platform, which is perfect for real estate. -Katie Lance

Takeaways + Tactics

• About 30% of real estate licensees don’t identify the company they work for or have the word “Realtor” or “real estate” on their profiles.
• IGTV is worth considering because it is being prioritized right now. Instagram is putting more IGTV videos into people’s feeds, which means more eyeballs, likes, comments and engagement.
• Live streaming video is screen-to-screen selling. It’s the next-best thing to meeting someone in person.

You don’t need the perfect strategy or the perfect content to get started with social media. If you want to make it less intimidating, you have to just start now. Begin with what you have and make a habit out of consistent use of social media. Commit to 15 minutes a day to connect with people and build relationships, and make use of the Live features of Facebook and Instagram. This will get the momentum going and you can build up from there.
