Social media is a must for all real estate agents in today’s digital age. Most property seekers begin their search online, and this includes social media. This is why posting valuable content showing your brand personality, and professionalism ultimately makes people want to work with you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how do you build a solid social media presence? The answer lies in creating a profile which is up-to-date, meaningful and engaging.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While your social media strategy is essential, maintaining your platforms, engaging with your users and keeping up with trends are also highly valuable as it helps you stay current and relevant. In this article, we go through the five most common mistakes real estate agents make on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mistake #1: Having Incomplete Or Outdated Profiles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first thing a property seeker sees on social media is your profile. Ensure that your profile is complete and up to date on all platforms, you are active on. This includes having an appropriate handle, bio, and profile picture, and adding your contact details. If a client likes what they see on your page, it should be easy to reach out and contact you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A well-written and presentable profile helps encourage property seekers to follow you. Similarly, a poor profile can trigger your audience to unfollow you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mistake #2: Starting With Too Many Platforms\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While it’s tempting to create an account on multiple platforms and start publishing content on all of them simultaneously, this is not an effective strategy. Your audience expects a lot from your online presence; a weak profile or poor content on any of your platforms can easily prompt them to lose interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recommend mastering one platform before you move on to your next. Give each platform 100% before moving on to the next by ensuring you have an appealing profile, engaging audience and high-value content on your page. Remember, having a solid presence on two platforms where your audience is engaged and actively consumes your content is more valuable than having multiple accounts with less inactive audiences.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mistake #3: Using A \u2018One Size Fits All\u2019 Strategy\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Each social media platform focuses on its own niche; LinkedIn is primarily for professional content, Instagram is for high-quality visual content, and TikTok focuses on quick snippets of fun and educational content. When building your presence, take note of what time of content you need to curate for each platform you are active on. What works well on your LinkedIn page may not perform the same on TikTok.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mistake #4: Being Inconsistent<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It takes time to build your social media presence; while this can be frustrating in the early stages, patience and consistent effort will help you achieve your social media goals.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Posting after a long period of being inactive will not give you the same results you used to have. Your audience should regularly engage with you so your business is top of mind when they have property needs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mistake #5: Not Having A Plan\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An effective social media plan helps you map a way to stand out from the crowd. Implementing a strategy behind the content you post ensures that all your efforts are aligned towards achieving your goals and priorities. With a goal-driven approach, you can quickly analyse your results and see where you stand. Every agent\u2019s priorities on social media are different, it can be to spread awareness of their personal brand, build an audience, become a thought leader or generate leads.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
