3 Biggest Real Estate Social Media Blunders

There’s no rule book that lists the Do’s and Don’ts of social media marketing but here’s the three blunders that real estate professionals should avoid at all costs.

Sign up for SMMCamp 6 Mobile Marketing for Real Estate on Dec 9

************************************************

1 – Get Over Yourself

I hate to be the one to tell you but people just don’t care about Realtor’s and Realtor’s lives. They view us as a disposable service that they can call upon as and when they need us. This means that most people don’t want to be hassled by a Realtor and our “salesy/spammy” messages.

(Ouch – I didn’t pull any punches with blunder number one).

In short, if you write an endless stream of posts about your listings, open house and statements like “by the way, the greatest compliment I can receive is a referral”, your new social network “friends” will quickly tune you out and remove you as a connection. Read more..

Can You Sell Homes on Facebook?

Can you sell homes or market real estate listings on Facebook?

This is a question that I get asked all the time.

One person who knows how to sell homes on Facebook is Darin Persinger.

Darin has pioneered a way to create a Fan Page for each listing and then integrate direct mail with social media marketing to sell the home. His strategy focuses around exploiting the viral nature of Facebook and co-opting the neighbors into promoting the property by inviting them to the Facebook Fan Page and encouraging them to “like” the page and leave a comment.

It is all very clever and it has a huge upside as it allows Darin to market himself to the neighbors and ask for their listings.

If you want to learn how Darin sells homes on Facebook you can attend his session at Social Media Marketing Camp 4 (SMMCamp) on May 27. It is online and free so register right now!
