Social Media

Why should I have a Facebook page?

Facebook – Either you love it or you hate it!  Whichever category you fall into, there is no denying that a Facebook page can be a great tool for your real estate business.  Let me give you the top 10 reasons, David Letterman style…

Number 101 Billion Users. That’s a big audience, why not take advantage of it?

Number 9 –  Timeline.  Use timeline as a resume. You can back date posts to highlight your real estate activity, milestones and accomplishments.

Number 8Quick & Easy.  If you think you don’t have time to “update” a website, you can create 7 posts in 15 minutes and schedule them to appear at a later time…perhaps while you’re in a course, or at an appointment.

Number 7Compatibility.  Your page can link to your Twitter account, Pinterest, your personal website and many other media forms.

Number 6Analytics.  Facebook provides “insights” for you to track your posts & your audience

Number 5SEO.  Fan pages are fully indexed by Google, which means all of the content on your page is searchable, unlike your personal profile, or a group.

Number 4Customization. Integrate your own branding into your page.

Number 3Interactive. Between the ability to create events and surveys, a Facebook page can give your fans a voice.

Number 2 –  It’s a website.  Yes that’s right, after 25 fans, you can apply for your own URL.

Drum roll……………………..

Number 1 –  It’s FREE!
