Three examples of effective Real Estate social media

The Corcoran Group has created a powerful net through their social outlets that captures every potential listing and/or buyer.

Keller Williams Realty has done a great job at tying their social efforts together. They post in one place, and get more bang for their buck by repurposing their content.

ApartmentHomeLiving.com has people begging to pay them for an apartment right on their fan page! What would you do if you never had to find another lead again? Get them coming straight to you!

These examples are great, but what does it mean for your real estate practice?

Real Estate Facebook page strategy

Corcoran Group gets it.

With nearly 50,000 Likes on their Facebook page, the NYC residential real estate firm is a stellar example of going the extra mile to make themselves available for buyers and sellers.

Through various social media channels, they give clients the ability to communicate with them openly and at any time.

They have a ‘Do More’ tab on their Fan Page that allows users to link to a variety of different links – including links to their Publications, YouTube, Twitter, Foursquare, housing market reports, and an RSS feed (imagine how beautiful it could look with Heyo)!

Through this transparent and available system, Corcoran has opened doors everywhere for their audience – turning fans and followers into buyers and sellers.

Keller Williams Realty is also a social media star.

Through engaging posts and quality content (e.g. “10 mind-blowing indoor pools” post and video library), KW Realty has secured a sincere audience on Facebook.

Not only do they have a tab allowing fans to view their videos, they also offer really simple ways to connect (e.g. RSS feed).

Through engaging customers via creative posts and interesting and relevant content, KW Realty has proved there’s true power behind the connections made with current and potential clients through social media.

Our last example, ApartmentHomeLiving.com – an apartment lifestyle guide and finder – has done a remarkable job attracting new business and keeping current fans engaged!

Take one look at their Facebook page and, apart from the 60,000+ Likes, you’ll see dozens of requests for apartments from their fans. Each request is promptly responded to, in order to increase engagement and close deals.

Take a look on their wall and you’ll see all kinds of great ideas for sharing content to drive traffic. They have even effectively utilized the ubiquitous kitty-photo (doing this with good taste is not always easy)!

In addition, they have a YouTube channel that has grown from nearly 1,500 videos in 2010, to a current library of over 11,500 videos! Video views? Over 951,000 times!

Can you imagine the traffic generated from just those videos alone?
