How Can I Get My Property Noticed on Facebook?

Although originally created as a social media website, Facebook has quickly become a major part of the professional landscape. This is true for most fields, including real estate. Learning how to effectively use Facebook to promote your properties is quickly becoming an indispensable and extremely effective part of obtaining success in the always competitive real estate business. Here are a few of the primary things you need to make sure you get done in order to make your professional Facebook account as effective as possible.

The more, the merrier

The obvious reason for having a Facebook account is to keep in touch with friends and family, but this narrow definition is limiting to your professional success. If you stick with only people that you know, you won’t end up with a large enough pool of “Friends” on your Facebook page, and you will not be reaching new and potential clients and business partners. You need to remember that the purpose of your real estate-focused Facebook account is to begin, cultivate and grow professional relationships, not personal ones. Because of this, consistently growing the number of “Friends” you have on your page needs to be a focus. This includes adding people that you meet in the business that could become partners, potential clients and also “Friends” that Facebook suggests to you. Always keep in mind that the goal of your professional Facebook page is to get as many eyes on your properties as possible.

Take lots of pictures!

One element of the real estate world that will never change is the desire of potential business partners and potential clients to see a property. Even though there are already some ways to place pictures of properties online, such as the MLS website, these sites are usually difficult to navigate and are not easily accessible for everyone. Facebook solves these problems. On Facebook, it is very easy to upload all of the pictures that you want. More importantly, it is very easy for everyone to access these pictures and to see them using Facebook’s smooth and easy-to-navigate Photos function. This function on Facebook also has an added advantage: It is very easy to create individual albums. This means that you can organize all of properties into albums, allowing everyone to find the single album they want to see and see all of the pictures of the house they want. Having easy-to-access pictures, and lots of them, is crucial to getting your property noticed.

Don’t forget to update!

It is extremely important that you are constantly on the minds of your potential professional partners, and this is easier than ever with Facebook. You need to make regularly updating your status on Facebook a normal part of your routine. However, these updates should just include words. Use the status updates to draw attention to your Facebook page, then keep that attention with regularly updated property photos. Establishing that you are constantly adding new photos is a great way to get potential clients and business partners not only to visit your page, but also to stay there and view all of your properties, even the ones they weren’t planning to check out.
