Get More Leads From Your Real Estate Website
If you haven’t been getting leads from your real estate website, it may be time to make some changes! Entrepreneur magazine
recently published some great ideas for improving website leads. We’re
sharing the best of those, along with our own suggestions and insights,
tailored for real estate!
A mobile friendly website is a must. Your website’s mobile-friendly condition not only affects the mobile user’s experience, it can affect your SEO!
If your website is not optimized for mobile, it can be “bumped down” in Google when users perform a search from a mobile device! And since more people are accessing the Internet with smartphones than home computers, the disadvantage is huge.
Your phone number should be easy to spot. Don’t frustrate your visitor by making them “dig” for your contact information. Your phone number should be prominent on every page of your website. Also, do not try and force your visitors to fill out a form to contact you. Save the online forms for calls-to-action and compelling offers.
Make online forms easy to find, and easy to complete. Keep the required fields to an absolute minimum. Anyone filling out a form with a smartphone will have a low tolerance for data entry.
For example, a two-field form can be very effective; one line for the user’s email address, and then a field for free-form text. “Questions? Email me now!”
Of course, the multiple-field forms are still valuable for helping you qualify your leads. Pairing these with compelling offers, and keeping the fields to a minimum, generate the best results.
Have an SEO strategy for your website. Your SEO strategy should tie in to your target market and client strategy. Each page of your website should have a unique title tag, clear navigation, and relevant, keyword-rich content.
Provide quality content that is frequently updated. Gone are the days of set-it-and-forget-it websites. Google gives preference to websites that have recent content relating to the topic search. This is why content marketing and content management are crucial elements of today’s web strategies. SEO aside, you should also be giving users a reason to return to you!
Let us help you with your website updates, blogging, content management and more!

Social Media for Real Estate
This infographic features your social media strategy for real estate professionals that covers every major platform!
Friday, April 22, 2016
Get Your Real Estate Business Started on Instagram
With over two hundred million active monthly users, Instagram has claimed its spot at the top of the social media pile.
With an impressive twenty-three percent increase in active users over a six month period, it’s easy to see why the real estate industry is taking notice.
Although Facebook is still the most popular social network, fatigue has set in for many agents and brokers as organic reach continues to decline.
So, why not put the power of this mighty visual network to work for your business?
Below you will find six ways to get your real estate business started on Instagram!
1. Get Active
Your first step is to get consistent with your Instagram activity. While you might have thought it’s just the tween or even teen demographics using Instagram, you’d be mistaken. Real estate agents and brokerages alike have dipped their toe in the water only to find massive success.In fact, in a recent Forrester study, it was found that,
“Instagram delivered 58 times more engagement per follower than Facebook, and 120 times more engagement per follower than Twitter.”
With stats like that, there’s no denying the opportunity to be found with Instagram. But before anyone connects, they’re going to want to learn more about you.
Create a schedule that integrates into your current social media strategy. Make it easy to share your latest pic across Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram. All three can tap into a unique market through visual marketing.
2. Share the Instagram Love
There’s no sense in getting active on a social network if no one knows about it. Add your website to your Instagram profile and share your Instagram photos across multiple social networks.Your friends, fans and followers whether on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr or Google Plus, need to know about your Instagram profile.
Add social icons to your website and blog, share the link in your email marketing and create a call to action to follow and connect with you on Instagram.
3. Give a Sneak Peek into Your Company
Whether it’s a look inside your office, the city you work in or a pic of your transaction coordinator, use Instagram to give a behind-the-scenes look in to your business.Everyone loves to be that fly on the wall, especially when it comes to social media. Give your followers an inside look and what and who makes your business tick. It’s a perfect way to create a more intimate relationship between you, your followers and your business.
What to Share:
- Local events
- Neighborhood or community meetings
- Charity work
- Historical timeline of your business
- Pictures of your staff
- Your love of the city you work in
4. Give a Unique Perspective
Instagram is a great place to highlight what makes your home or area so special.Whether you’re taking a picture of your latest listing or your neighborhood, choose eye-catching features. Stay away from the typical shots that include the front of the house and instead capture the unique wrap-around porch. You might even want to zoom in on the detail that went into the handrails.
Buyers want to grab a sneak peek before requesting a showing. Give them insight into the factors that make the home or area distinct.
Plus, don’t forget the bonus of additional traffic to your website or blog. If you’re posting listings, make sure you suggest in the photo caption to follow the link in your bio to view additional pictures of the home or area.
5. Get Found
As you share images, add them to the Instagram Photo Map. This feature allows you to geotag your image location and share the specific site where the photo was taken.Maps will take your followers beyond your latest pictures and show them the exact location of the photos you share. This is an excellent way to create relevance within a community and build credibility as the go-to agent within that area.
You can edit your map at any time and will always be able to opt into each and every photo you add to your map. It’s a beautiful new way for you and others to view your Instagram photos.
6. Create Vibrant Videos
Instagram video is a distinctive way to showcase your business. Your video can be anywhere from 3 to 15 seconds long and include anything from your latest listing to a local event.When done right, video tours can be extremely effective in helping potential buyers decide if they’re interested or not, saving their time and yours.
Final Thoughts
When marketing your business with Instagram, you’re only limited by your imagination. What’s one way you can start using Instagram in your business today?

40 Facebook Marketing Ideas For The Modern Agent
We’ve talked about Facebook marketing a lot…specifically how Facebook can land you more qualified leads.
The cool thing about social media is that it’s always growing and
there are plenty of new ideas we can implement to grow our online
presence and generate leads.
So today, I’m here to help you spice up your Facebook marketing with 40 tips to generate more leads on Facebook.
Let’s get into it…
1. Pages over Profiles
Something I’ve noticed is that lots of realtors are still trying to
promote themselves and conduct business via their personal Facebook
profile instead of a public business page. While it’s great to build and
maintain connections through your profile, you’ll definitely want to
have a professional page in addition to it.
Here’s just a few reasons why:
2. Increases Google Traffic
Your Facebook agent page will turn up in Google when people search
for your name or company title. People will see posts, images and
photos, while your profile posts won’t rank at all.
3. Farther Reach
Even those living off the grid can see your Facebook page and this is
just one more resource that can help to boost your credibility among
leads even if they aren’t on the biggest social networking site in the
world.
4. Track Your Results
We all like to see where our time and money are going and you can do
just that with Facebook analytics that works directly with your page to
show you how viewers are responding to your efforts.
Once you figure out what is and isn’t effective, you can then modify
future content to get the most engagement and interaction. Also keep in
mind that you can invite as many people as you want to Like your
Facebook page, while your personal account will be capped at a 5,000
friend limit.
5. Linking Your Website
You definitely want to have links to your social media accounts on
your real estate website and Facebook pages use widgets and Like buttons
to make this easy. This isn’t a tool you can take advantage of if
you’re only using a personal account.
Now that we’ve established the value of a Facebook page for your
business, we can start in on what techniques you can use to generate
even more leads from Facebook.
ok.
6. Picture Perfect
There’s no denying the success images can bring you when used
correctly. People absolutely love quality visuals. Chances are that if
your photos aren’t appealing, what you’re offering won’t be either.
Check out Canva.com to start making free custom graphics today.
Multiple reports have shown that pictures and video can increase page engagement up to 180%!
Here’s a tip: lifestyle shots and real-life action images of local events are a great way to pique the interest of your fans.
7. Start The Conversation
While shorter posts ranging from about 100-250 characters in length
are shown to improve engagement, you should still focus on getting
people talking and encourage them to interact with you. Asking for
feedback and ideas is an easy way to start getting your audience to
engage on your page and is your opportunity to start directly talking to
leads in a social way
8. Give To Get
Give value to get fans and then turn those fans into leads! As you
build your Facebook page and grow your audience, you’ll want to get to
know them and what they’re interested in. Because Facebook engagement is
really a two-way street, you also want to give your fans the
opportunity to get to know you. So, the more quality content that you
give them, the more engagement you’re going to get. What your audience
really needs to see is that you’re making a serious effort to connect
with them. Providing helpful information on a regular basis will help
you gain their trust and eventually help you get more qualified leads!
9. Blog
In order to stand out, you need unique content to share with your
fans and this will come from your real estate blog. Try to publish 1-2
new posts a week and always spread the content around on your social
media, especially Facebook.
10. Respond To Comments
If you’ve got people commenting on your posts regularly go ahead and
pat yourself on the back because these folks are highly engaging with
your content. Think about it. It takes a lot more effort to write a
comment on a post than it does to Like or even Share a post. You want to
follow through on your end and let the commenter know that you’re
listening by responding to their comment and you also want to make sure
you do this in a timely manner, otherwise they’re likely to forget about
the interaction. Likewise, when someone takes the time post on your
wall or send you a private message make sure to get back to them as soon
as possible.
11. Promote Your Page
Targeting and boosting individual posts is a great way to get
noticed, but you can also increase your reach on Facebook by promoting
your page. You can start from as low as $5 and Facebook will estimate
how many new Likes you’ll get based on your ad budget. This is a nice
way to get more eyes on your page and expand your audience. Once new
fans find your page they’ll see all the fresh content you’re putting out
and continue to engage with future posts!
12. Show Some Love
Check out what other agents and companies are doing in your area, and
around the nation, for content inspiration and also to gain new
connections. When you Share or Like someone else’s page, chances are
they’re going to return the favor. You can then start cross-sharing
information and engage new fans.
13. Shop Local
In addition to working with your peers, you should also try and
connect with local businesses. It’s a great way to stay active in your
community and help to better establish yourself as the local expert if
you’re up on what’s happening in your local scene. You may even come
across some unique opportunities for cross-promotions.
14. Reward Loyal Fans
Let your audience know that you’re eager to connect with them by
acknowledging their support and letting them know how much they matter
to you. I encourage you to get creative here, but a fun place to start
is just to host a giveaway.
15. Competitions
Friendly competitions are also a neat way to activate your audience
and attract new leads. You can keep things simple by having them Like
and Share a post to win a $10 Starbucks gift card (Bonus points if you
can work with a local business to supply the prize!).
16. Add A CTA Button To Your Cover Photo
At the end of 2014 Facebook launched a feature that lets you add one
of seven call-to-action buttons to your page. You can choose from: “Sign
Up,” “Shop Now,” “Contact Us,” “Book Now,” “Use App,” “Watch Video,”
and “Play Game.”
This is a super easy way to drive more traffic from your page back to your website.
This is a super easy way to drive more traffic from your page back to your website.
17. Treat it like a miniature website
Of course your Facebook page is by no means a substitute for an
actual website, but you do want to make sure that like your real estate
site, all the important deets leads will need to find out more about you
and contact you are very visible and readily available.
The best way to do this is to flesh out every single portion of your
About Me section. I mean it. Don’t hold back! If a potential lead finds
you via Facebook you want to be absolutely sure that your page provides
them with everything they need to contact you and get a clear
understanding of what it is you have to offer.
18. Show Your Personality
You can bring a more personable feel to literally every aspect of
your Facebook page, all while still keeping a professional look and
feel. From your cover photo and profile image to your About Me section
and posts, you want your audience to constantly have the opportunity to
get to know you and your brand.
Don’t be afraid to let your unique voice come through in your
content. This is how you will start to distinguish yourself and become
memorable. It’s really okay to step out from behind your logo and give
your fans a look at the face behind the brand. Feel free to post fun and
entertaining photos every once in a while (adorable baby animals are
always good if that’s your thing). You can also shift gears and post a
candid photo of you in your everyday life, maybe having lunch at your
favorite local restaurant, or taking a sunset stroll through a park.
It’s really okay to let your fans see a different side of you–just
snap a photo and post it on your wall with a creative caption!
19. Learn From The Best
We can all learn a lot from our competitors. It’s a good practice to
keep up with your competitors and see what they’re sharing. You can also
probably gage what is and isn’t working for them, see who their fans
are and also what industry trends they’re following that you may or may
not be.
20. Get To Know Your Audience
You can think about your fans like a new friend that you are getting
know. Asking questions and gaging the interaction on various posts are
both good ways to get a feel for who you’re talking to. You can also use
Facebook’s Audience Insights. This is a new tool that allows marketers
to learn about their target audiences and includes such details as
geography, demographics, consumer behavior and Facebook usage. This can
also help you determine what the best times and days are to maximize
audience engagement.

21. Engage The 3P’s Of Posting
When deciding what type of content to post, keep these categories in mind:
Purpose
Personal
Promotions
Personal
Promotions
22. Purpose
At least 50% of your posts should focus on the first one, Purpose.
That is offering quality, useful content that engages your audience by
giving them something of value.
23. Personal
Next, try allotting 30% of your Facebook marketing content to
Personal topics. This is your time to shine and let your fans see a bit
of your personality. That way, when they actually contact you for a real
estate transaction they will feel like they already have a sense of who
you are and this is great for establishing trust even before you talk
to them directly!
24. Promotions
Lastly, no more than 20% of your content should be direct towards
Promotions. No one likes to be bombarded with ads at every turn and your
fans are more likely to disregard or even unlike your page if all
they’re seeing is promotional material. Still, the fact remains that
we’ve all got to promote ourselves and our business so just remember to
think about connecting with your fans even with promotional content.
25. What’s trending?
Another way to stay at the top of your audiences feed is to join
trending topics in your industry. This can help you reach more people as
well since you’re adding your voice to part of a viral conversation.
Do you remember the blue and gold dress phenomenon that practically broke the internet?
Big brands like Adobe quickly added their input on the controversy
and some created polls so their fans could weigh-in. As content
marketers, there’s so much we can learn from #TheDress.
It was a simple image with an even simpler call to action. All
viewers had to do was say that color they saw. So, when we’re asking our
audience to take action, remember to keep it simple and to keep your
call to action clear and easy to follow. Oh, and when the next
#Dressgate comes along, be sure to jump in.
26. Video
Facebook video is now bigger than even producing video content on
Youtube. Every time you post a video Facebook autoplays it in newsfeeds,
so people will automatically see what you’re doing! Here are 4 types of
video you can post on Facebook to get more leads today:
27. Instructional
Instructional videos are useful and should provide value to your
viewers. Quick “how-tos” for homebuyers and sellers work well, DIY
ideas, or even taking the time to break down the various processes
involved in buying and selling properties are all helpful ways to engage
your fans. Focus on your niche and start brainstorming from there.
28. Informative/Educational
Educational videos are always relevant. Letting people know about
your area, making a quick video about current events are good examples
of providing quality video content for your Facebook fans. You can also
always ask them what kind of video content they’d like to see or take
requests for topics!
29. Welcome/Thanks
Every few months you can put up a quick personal video to welcome
your new fans, especially if you’ve recently seen a spike in likes, and
also take a moment to personally thank those who have already Liked your
page.
You can give a brief overview of what you do, talk about any relevant
updates and even let fans know what you’re planning in the future–such
as a fun giveaway or contest for them to look forward to.
30. Exclusive
Facebook video gives you a great opportunity to further distinguish
yourself as your local market expert. You can visit your favorite local
spots, highlight an annual community event, attend gatherings, give
neighborhood tours…really anything that is exclusive to your niche and
expertise. This will help instill trust in your audience and increase
your chances of turning viewers into leads.
31. Target the leads you already have
While it’s great to focus on new business, don’t forget to tap the
leads you may already have. Using Facebook’s Custom Audience targeting
option, you can target people whose email address or phone number you
have collected.
32. Get More Fans With Email
A super simple way to grow your social media presence is to include
links in your email signature. While you’re hopefully already linking to
your real estate website, you can easily add a line for your Facebook
business page and instantly turn your signature into a marketing
mechanism.
33.Upcoming Events
Let people know what you’re up to! Whether you’re attending a
community event or hosting a meetup, you can spread the word and let
your local audience know what’s going on. You can create Facebook events
through your page, or simply share relevant events that you will be
attending. This is a great way to knock out a post that hits the 3P’s
all at once.
34. Community Events
What’s happening in your town your city? Not only is this great blog
content, but it’s also another way to establish yourself as the local
expert by sharing interesting events in your area. You can keep local
fans in-the-know and also let visitors know what unique features they
should check out when they come to your city.
35. Client Testimonials
Hopefully your agent website already includes a landing page for
clients to share their positive experiences with you. Your Facebook page
is also a great place to share client quotes and testimonials. And it’s
even better if they’re coming from your current audience! People love
to feel special on the internet, so seeing their testimonial featured on
your page is a great way to say Thank You and let your clients know
that you appreciate them. And, of course, it lets future leads know what
others are saying about you.
36. Client Interviews
Taking testimonial posts a step further, why not sit down and chat
with your satisfied clients about their experience? You could write up a
Q&A blog with them to share your story or, better yet, sit down and
make a quick video!
37. Infographics
Infographics are a great way to share information in a fun and
educational way, plus they’re highly shareable. An infographic is just
an image that depicts really interesting facts and figures and even if
your information is less-than-interesting, the visual aspect allows you
to liven things up with colors and a fun layout to make it more
enjoyable and readable for fans.
38. Be consistent
As we’re starting to wrap things up here, one of the most important
things you need to be doing to get more leads from Facebook is to be
consistent with your posting. Whether you’re scheduling posts directly
from your page, using a management tool like Hootsuite, or planning out a
monthly editorial calendar in Google Drive, you need to maintain a
mostly regular post schedule.
While you probably don’t need to post more than twice a day, it’s
important to go into all of this with a goal and decide what kind of
content you will share each day. This will get easier to decide once you
get to know your audience, so starting on a trial and error basis is
fine. Maybe you start with weekly themes like “Motivation Monday” or
“Factoid Friday” and share relevant information related to these themes.
Going into the week with an idea of how you want to split up your
Purpose, Personal and Promotional posts will make maintaining a
consistent Facebook brand presence all the more manageable and will help
to keep your posts in the news feed of your fans, as Facebook too
rewards consistency.

39. Times to post
By no, I’m sure you’ve Googled “What are the best times to post on
Facebook” and related questions. There’s plenty of information available
that can point you in the right direction when deciding what times
*may* get you the most engagement, but the fact is that no audience is
the same and your ideal post time is really going to be determined
organically.
You can use Facebook Insights to see what days and times are working
the best, but feel free to mix up your post time and see what works for
you and your audience. Do you seem to get more engagement in the morning
between the hours of 6am and 8am? Or is it lunchtime that your fans are
more active? Maybe they’re actually more likely to be browsing social
media later in the day, like after 4pm. The more regularly you post, the
quicker you’ll be able to gage your prime times and optimize your post
schedule.
40. Join The Community
Finally, be a part of the community. Sharing knowledge also means
you’ll be receiving knowledge and this exchange will help real estate
agents develop and sustain deeper connections and relationships. And
overall become more well-rounded agents.
Simply put, when it comes achieving your goals in real estate
communities foster success. For one, you’re going to get a lot more
support and broaden the amount of information you have access to. Sure,
you can also do this through books and podcasts, as well as other media
sources, but you’ll also really want to add peer community support to
your resources for success. You’ll also start receiving immediate
feedback from your peers, which is awesome!

We’ll take on your “chores” so you can actually enjoy what you’re doing every day!
4. You’ll sleep better at night- You won’t have to stay awake at night worrying about how you’re going to get it all done. There’s a million things on your plate and our goal is to help lighten your load so you can have stress-free, sleep filled nights.

6. Flexibility- Have a big upcoming project that you need help with? Leery about the commitment? There’s great news- we’re here to help when you need us! We don’t require that you use us for a minimum amount of time each month. We can help you get through that big project or help as much or as little as you need us. Don’t worry about hurting our feelings; we understand business can vary from month to month and are willing to stand by till you're ready!
7. We’re nice- We’ve all had our share of bad customer service and it only takes that one experience to put a damper on your day. Here at 24/7 Digital Nomad, we genuinely care about our clients and what they need. Whether it’s an email or phone call, we enjoy communicating with our agents and we can promise that you’ll always be treated with the utmost respect and a smile!

We are YOUR team, which means that our work is an extension of your work and your intangible dreams can become a reality! Before you know it, your work is being doubled and tripled and you aren’t working any harder, just smarter!

10. Personalized service- We get to know each one of our clients and their needs and preferences. The longer we get to work with you, the better we know the look you like for your marketing campaigns, the ad copy that melts your heart, the type of communication that works best for you and even which new marketing trends that will work for you!
Hopefully, this list clears up some of those questions and gives you an inside look into what we can do for you!
If you’re ready to take the next step, or you have further questions; feel free to give us a call! We’d love to talk with you about your specific needs and how we can work together to create an even more efficient and effective work flow for you.
We look forward to hearing from you!

Transaction Coordinator: Contract-To-Close
Like every real estate agent, you work hard at listing properties and
connecting qualified buyers to sellers. In addition to all of your
efforts as a professional real estate agent in listing, marketing and
negotiating a successful sale, the one most important element of a
transaction is bringing it to a close.
That portion of the sale, the closing transaction, must be delegated to appropriate agencies and specialized legal entities who work simultaneously to verify value, viability and financing of the property. At this point, you are dependent on others also involved in the process. All preceding efforts are in vain if closing the escrow fails, and it is during this closing process that the greatest possibility of failure occurs.
Each and every step of the process contains an inherent possibility of failure during closing, from establishing a marketable title, to verifying structural integrity, to demonstrating insurability, and procuring successful financing. As with any fluid process, important decisions must be made quickly due to legal time constraints governing closing, and may have far-reaching ramifications for both clients and agents. Closing transactions are stressful for all parties involved at best. At worst, they fail entirely, or result in legal actions between clients and agents.
The last thing any agent needs is a mistake which precludes closing the transaction within time constraints, or places the decision in the hands of the seller, who may or may not be willing to extend closing time, or might incur liabilities such as daily monetary penalties paid to sellers for delays. Suppose a finding in the closing transaction necessitates renegotiation or the property doesn’t appraise – or interest rates change drastically during closing? Of course it is imperative to obtain these results immediately in order to have time to renegotiate and not extend closing time.
When the pitfalls of closing transactions become overwhelming, it is time to consider utilizing the service of an assistant trained in closing transactions. A transaction coordinator is a professional dedicated to managing only the closing process and is therefore able to provide the information you need in time to prevent a closing disaster. Prevent legal liabilities from developing with complete records of each transaction provided immediately from a highly trained, competent transaction coordinator devoted entirely to seamlessly closing and protecting your real estate transaction.
Do you find that with your busy schedule you don’t have time to manage these very important closing transaction tasks? Your staff could be trained to manage your closings competently, and decrease your legal liability. Get in touch with 24/7 Digital Nomad today and learn how transaction coordination can be made simple, with no burden to you.
