YouTube

The land of long-form glory

Alright, listen up, real estate mavens!
It’s time to ditch those outdated playbooks and join the cool kids' table. We’re talking YouTube & TikTok—because let's face it, if you're not on these platforms, you're basically selling houses with smoke signals.

First up, YouTube. It's basically the Google of video content,
which makes sense since Google owns it.
People don’t just stumble onto YouTube—they actively search for things.
House tours, market analysis, tips for first-time homebuyers—you name it, they’re searching for it. And guess what? Your videos can pop up in those search results, not just on YouTube but on Google as well.
This dual-powered search engine presence means your content can keep drawing in potential buyers long after you've hit the upload button.
You can create epic property tours, deep dives into market trends, and educational videos that’ll make your audience drool.

 

TikTok

Short, sweet, and viral

Then there’s TikTok, the viral video wizard. TikTok’s algorithm is a master at figuring out what people want to see and shoving it right in their faces.
While it doesn’t function exactly like a traditional search engine, it’s got a robust discovery system that ensures your content reaches the right eyeballs.
Trends, hashtags, and sounds—these are your secret weapons to get noticed.
Users search for trending hashtags and topics, and if you’re on top of these trends, your real estate content can hit the jackpot of virality.
It's a playground for creativity, perfect for showcasing your listings in quick,
catchy clips that can hook viewers faster than you can say "sold".

 

YouTube and TikTok

Organic reach & engagement

Here’s the kicker: while Instagram & Facebook have become pay-to-play arenas, YouTube and TikTok are still the Wild West of organic reach.
TikTok, in particular, lets you hit it big without emptying your wallet on ads. It's all about the content, baby!
And YouTube?
Well, those videos keep working for you long after you’ve hit publish, driving engagement and views without constant boosting.

Less saturation

Sure, Instagram & Facebook are swarming with real estate agents posting cookie-cutter content. But TikTok and YouTube? Not so much.
This is your chance to stand out, to be that unicorn in a sea of horses. TikTok’s younger, hipper crowd is growing up and stepping into the housing market, and they want to buy from someone who gets them. Be that someone!

 

Instagram

Best for building awareness

Instagram is the most inherently visual, making it ideal for showcasing high-quality photos and videos of properties.
While there is opportunity for lead generation, most agents focus their efforts on brand awareness, or making sure the wider community knows who they are, what they offer, and what sets them apart.

Visual focus

Users are scrolling, looking for images and short videos, not long professional treatises on the current state of the market.
Keep your images carefully curated and evergreen in the static grid, and use Instagram Live, Stories, and Reels to offer more personal, spontaneous, behind-the-scenes content.

Engagement

Instagram promotes high engagement rates, with users actively interacting with content through likes, comments, and direct messages.
The platform makes it easy to save, share, and comment on posts, which gives users a chance to directly engage with content. 
It’s important for agents to like, comment, and post on other accounts as part of a larger Instagram strategy.
This shows your audience that you are an active, caring member of the community.

 

Facebook

Best for targeted advertising

 Facebook’s robust ad platform allows real estate professionals to tailor ad campaigns based on demographics, interests, behaviors, and even specific locations, ensuring that marketing messages reach the right audience.
Also consider retargeting ads.
This strategy puts ads in front of those who’ve visited your site or engaged in some way but haven’t taken action.
We’ve seen serious ROI from retargeting ads on Facebook, which remind your audience why they were interested in a property or blog post in the first place.

Visual content

Facebook supports photos, videos, and virtual tours, enabling agents to showcase properties effectively.
The ability to leverage visual collateral
is why ads are particularly effective on
the platform.
You can drive your audience to specific landing pages, property searches,
or single-property sites, catching their attention mid-scroll.

Engagement

Facebook facilitates direct engagement with potential clients through comments, likes, and shares, fostering community and relationship development.
Facebook groups are an especially effective way to be social on the network and they have the added bonus of organically segmenting your audience.
Consider joining or creating local groups, ones that focus on your community, what’s happening, local history, and nearby events — and be an active participant.
