I have been posting on real estate social media for several years now and have learned many tricks on how to get people to engage with your real estate.
Are you in the real estate industry? Do you share on social media? This week, I am sharing social media post ideas for the real estate industry to get more engagement.
Each post idea describes in a little bit more detail what additional information you can add to each post idea.
Creative Real Estate Industry Social Media Post Ideas
Below are the 30 social media post ideas for the real estate industry.
New listings – You may know this one already since many realtors do this right now. Instead of just listing the post and adding the front of the house, Try adding the additional images and “nearby” conveniences, like near schools, shops, etc… Customizing it to that area is a great way to entice engagement.
Local Activities—Are there yearly events or gatherings that the public may not know about? Share them on social media.
Interiors of homes—Sharing the inside of homes works great! People like to get design inspiration from others. If you have stock images you can use, create a collage of similar images and share them in one post.
Promote the benefits of living in your real estate market
Benefits of living in an area – If you are located in a micro area and only serve one town or two, you can ask yourself, “Why would people live here?” Then, determine the benefits of living here.
Progress of new construction – If you are a realtor and sell new construction homes, you can also show the progress of breaking ground, when particular parts are finished, and the interior areas.
Holiday greetings – Sharing things like Happy New Year is common nowadays. But you can also add a spin on it and say Happy New Year. Are you planning to sell your home this year? Start now. Visit our Creative Tips to Make Engaging Holiday Greetings Images for ideas.
What are you up to? – Share different behind-the-scenes things you are doing to improve your services or enhance your skills.
Share your affiliate colleagues through sponsored events
Sponsored events – Do you have affiliates you work with, like plumbers, professional organizers, or electricians? Do they give you a referral commission for telling others about them? Share them on a post. Be sure to say in the post that they are (affiliates).
The Scenery outside – Share these images so people can see how beautiful it is where you are selling the home.
Theater activities in the area – Some clientele may love the theater. Share events and performances that are happening right now.
Local events – These local events could be things that are new to your area. You could have a shredder (Affiliate Link) event that is happening for the first time this year, or you could share a community recycling event.
Family event activities – Do you sell to families with kids? Share events that are intended for families and young children. People like FREE family events.
Articles about the industry – If you find articles about what the real estate industry is doing differently, you can share those articles. You can also share new tips and ideas for selling your home.
