Facebook for Real Estate Agents
Facebook can be a powerful engagement tool for building your brand, forging relationships, marketing your business and speaking directly with clients.
In this week’s episode of the Pursuing Freedom podcast, real estate agent and Facebook expert Adam Sheets shares how he has built a thriving business in just six years fueled almost entirely by the incredible reach of Facebook’s powerful social media platform.
While Instagram and LinkedIn are often the “go-to” social media channels, Facebook for real estate agents is ideal because its reach gives it a unique position that you can turn into an incredible lead generation source, as well as a way to position yourself as an expert in your area.
Facebook for Real Estate Agents: Extending Your Reach
As Adam explained during our conversation, he’s only been operating in real estate since 2016. However, he has been able to find extraordinary success thanks to using Facebook as his primary marketing tool.
Adam says the key is to create a content calendar and stick to it! That way, you aren’t always scrambling for ideas for new posts, and that consistency helps increase your engagement. Creating solid content that is helpful to your audience is a critical step in the process, but so are sharing that content consistently and ensuring that it looks polished and professional.
The Cost and Reach Advantages of Facebook
Adam decided to join the family business as a “last resort”, but he quickly realized that being a real estate agent offered him a level of freedom he wouldn’t be able to get working in a corporate job. However, he didn’t want to do things the way they’d traditionally been done, and so he immersed himself in Facebook so that he could master its systems and algorithms. He quickly realized how inexpensive and powerful Facebook for real estate agents can be. With almost 3 billion global users, Facebook is the world’s largest and most powerful social media platform. And Adam is an expert at putting that reach to good use!
Today, Adam’s business is booming after just six years, and he even spends part of his time teaching others how to master Facebook.
