21 Social Media Content Ideas for Realtors in 2021

In this episode, Jimmy shares 21 unique ideas you can use for your social media engagement in 2021. 

Improving engagement in 2021

  • Social media is critically important when it comes to engagement. It’s more important today than ever. 
  • Use video posts not only for Facebook but also for other social media areas. Videos are going to get more run than a typical post since most of the social media platforms including Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram are all aiming to keep their users within their ecosystem. They do this with engaging videos. 
  • Tip 1: Try creating virtual open houses. This is when you set up a time to do a premiere on the house and let people know about it. Instead of having just a few people come to the house, the streaming and video premiere allows you to invite  hundreds or even thousands more to see the house at the same time. 
  • The video also stays in your post for a while so you are able to continue increasing engagement even after you’re done streaming. 
  • Tip 2: Use ‘coming soon’ videos. These videos are listings that you’re getting ready to bring into the market. 
  • People love the feel of seeing things behind the scene. It makes them feel special. 
  • Tip 3: The process video. These videos are anything you do that involves a process including the process of being a realtor. You can just talk about how you do things and let them in on the process. 
  • Tip 4: Frequently Asked Questions video. If you’re at a place where you’re asked things a couple of times, then it’s the best time to create an FAQ video. 
  • Tip 5: ‘Can you help me out?’ video. This is where you have a buyer but you can’t find the right place for them. Create a video and explain how you have an awesome family needing a place like this and that. It doesn’t only open opportunities for engagement but it also helps you find the right place for your client.

  • Tip 6: Series videos/photos post. This can be a video of what you do in a day. You can shoot a video where you’re taking a new listing and others. 
  • Tip 7: How we help our clients post. This is your opportunity to soft brag your achievements on how you are able to help your clients find their perfect homes. 
  • Tip 8: The ‘People think real estate is this’ video. Most people have the wrong notion of what we do. This video sheds light on the reality of what we do. 
  • Tip 9: What I love about this business. Share the things you love about your business and why you keep doing it. 
  • Tip 10: Apps I love in real estate video. This is how you can share the tools you use for your real estate journey in your daily life.  
  • Tip 11: Do listed posts. These are posts where you link people to a capture page. This gives you the opportunity to share with them the properties you just checked out. 
  • Tip 12: Do ‘just pending’ post. Make sure that you share the information to your followers. When you have a house listed or a buyer who went under contract, any information you have can be shared to let them know that you are still out there and very much active. 
  • Tip 13: Just Sold! Post. This is an opportunity not to brag but for you to share a story. 
  • Tip 14: Do a before and after post. Take a quick video or a picture of a yard that looks horrible. When the landscaper is done with the magic, take a video or a photo again then play the two together or put the photos side by side. 
  • Tip 15: Check this out post. It’s a post of amazing things you see or view then share it to your social media platforms. 

Lifestyle type posts

  • Tip 16: Your favorite restaurant. Take a photo of the food or the restaurant that you love. Share it and then tag the restaurant as well as this opens more exposure for you. 
  • Tip 17: Feature the amenities in your area. Take photos or videos of your favorite areas in your community and talk about them or post them. 
  • Tip 18: Thank a service provider post. These are the types of posts where you thank someone who gave you extra service. 
  • Tip 19: My favorite places post. Share your favorite places and tag these places. It allows for cross pollination in social media and increases engagement and exposure. 
  • Tip 20: Your family. People love seeing your family as it shows how relatable you are. 
  • Tip 21: Your favorite post of all time. Jimmy calls this a Shira Hero Spotlight. It’s a post where you feature someone in your community for the good things that they do. It encourages others and it also inspires people.
