Introduction

If you are a real estate agent who wants to stand out from the crowd, it is time to get some marketing help! As today’s consumers turn increasingly to the internet for information and advice on buying and selling homes, it is important that you create an online presence as well. Whether you are just starting out in your career or have been in the business for decades, there are plenty of ways that digital marketing can help grow your business. Here’s how:

How to create a personal brand

A personal brand is the way you are seen by others. It’s more than just your name; it’s about your reputation, values and beliefs. A strong personal brand will allow you to stand out in a crowded field of real estate agents and give potential clients confidence that they’ll make the right choice when they work with you.

Here are some ways to build a strong personal brand:

• Be consistent. Be sure that everything–from your business cards to social media posts–communicates the same message about who you are as an agent and how you do business. This will help people recognize that they’re dealing with someone with whom they can trust their most valuable asset: their home!
• Be professional at all times!

A good place to start is to analyze your current marketing efforts.

A good place to start is to analyze your current marketing efforts. Look at what is working, and what isn’t. Make a list of the things you want to do, then do some research on what other agents are doing. Find out what is working for them and take notes!

Create a website that works for you

• Use a website that is easy to navigate. The best real estate websites are clear and concise, with no fluff or clutter.
• Use a website that is easy to read. You want your site’s content to be easily digestible by potential clients, so use straightforward language and keep sentences short and simple–including bullet points wherever possible!
• Use a website that is easy to find. This means you should make sure your URL has “real estate” or some other relevant keyword in it (e.g., www(dot)example(dotcom). Don’t forget about local search engine optimization (SEO), either; keywords like “apartment rentals” will help people find you on Google when they’re looking for apartments nearby!
• Use a website that is mobile friendly: Many people now use smartphones as their primary way of accessing the internet–so make sure yours looks good on those smaller screens too!

While you can create your own website and use public sites like Zillow, there are also options to outsource the creation of your site.

The first step in creating your online presence is to decide whether or not to build your own website. If you are not a web developer, it’s best to hire one (or more). If you are a web developer, then creating your own site may be an option for you. 

Use social media to market yourself.

Social media is a great way to connect with potential buyers, other real estate agents and professionals in your industry. You can also use social media to connect with other people who share your interests or live in your area.

However, it’s important not to overdo it when it comes to posting on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Your goal should be to create engaging content that attracts followers and gets them talking about what they see (and what you have for sale).

Use paid ads on social media and search engines.

Paid ads are an extremely effective way to get your name out there and reach a specific audience. This can be a good option if you want to target consumers who may not be looking for real estate agents, but could potentially be interested in buying or selling property.

You’ll want to set a budget and target audience before creating your ads. In addition, you should track the effectiveness of each ad by keeping an eye on its click-through rate (CTR).

Listing your properties on multiple property websites will help increase your listing views and generate more leads for business.

Lists are a great way to increase the number of people who see your listings. You can also use them to attract new leads, so it is important that you list your properties on multiple property websites.

• Finding and contacting the best property websites:

There are many different sites out there that allow you to list properties for free or at a low cost, but not all of them are created equal and some may not be worth your time or money. Make sure that the site has traffic before committing yourself by listing there! 

Optimizing your listings for search engines: If you’re going to spend time creating great content then make sure it gets found by people who need what you have! We’ve written other articles explaining how this works. Check them out on our blog page.

Digital marketing does not have to be difficult or cost a fortune.

Digital marketing is a great way to reach customers, but it doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated. In fact, digital marketing can be done for free! Here are some examples of tools you can use:

• Social media (like Facebook and Twitter)
• Email marketing (if your email list is large enough)
• Blogging
