LinkedIn is a powerful social media platform for real estate agents to showcase their expertise, build their personal brand, and connect with potential clients. The key to success on LinkedIn is creating engaging and informative content that will attract and retain followers.
You might be thinking, “Isn’t LinkedIn just a tool for B2B businesses”. Not necessarily, Linkedin is designed for business. Whilst other platforms are a lot more social, people use Linkedin when they’re in business mode. Buying and selling your property is a significant transaction, and most people will want to do some research before choosing their agent. You can use your Linkedin profile in numerous ways to connect with potential clients as Linkedin’s algorithm is made for connecting. Linkedin will use your activity to suggest and target potential connections, letting you know who has viewed your profile and creating targeted audiences based on this.
Whilst your whole town of real estate agents might not be posting on Linkedin or even have an up-to-date profile, this is something you can leverage. Platforms like Facebook and Instagram are oversaturated with content from every single industry, you’re competing on a much larger scale. On Linkedin, you can gain a higher engagement rate as you share relevant information about market trends or interesting property insights.
Having a consistent presence on all social platforms means more avenues for more leads to come through. Now is the time to include Linkedin as an important part of your lead generation strategy.
