2019 was the year where every guru out there was telling us how to to get organic leads on Facebook, Instagram. LinkedIn. How to post content, when to post the content, and what platforms we were "wasting our time" on.
That said, I wanted to give you a more drilled-down version of how you'll get more leads for your real estate and mortgage business in 2020...with proven methods. Take notes, share with your collaborative partners, but more importantly...implement these tips to get some more leads!
1. On Facebook: Want more buyer leads? Spend more time giving people options to choose from in their house. Post 3-4 different styles of kitchens, backyards (with or without pools), master bathrooms, and more...and invite your friends and followers to choose the one they'd like the most in their dream house. This works really well if you post on your Facebook business page with a messenger automation sequence setup. This was, you can capture email addresses and phone numbers and put them into a follow-up sequence through your CRM. Using Live-stream video at open houses is a huge plus, too.
For more seller leads, remind your prospects of why they want or need to sell their houses: Down-sizing, up--sizing, Veterans who are PCS-ing, moving from 2-story or 1-story (or vice versa), etc. Be proactive with your market research on this, too. Search the Nextdoor app and learn what types of complaints people are making about a particular HOA and/or current market trends. If you listen close enough, people will tell you exactly why they are looking to sell. Be sure to go Live with a description that matches the exact language your prospects are using. This will grab their attention right away and keep them in your network.
The more visual you are, especially with video, the more people will want to consume the content and grow to know, like, and trust you. The call to action and follow-up are very important here, though. Using appropriate email marketing like Active Campaign, sales funnel software like Clickfunnels, and messenger automation sequences like Many Chat will really help you streamline your follow-ups.
If you participate in groups, use content that will get you strong buyer leads. Remember that there are real estate investors all over the country who are looking to invest, so remember to use the groups where they are and not waste as much time in groups overly-saturated with other agents.
2. On Instagram, promote your collaborative partners in the business as much as possible and check-in to their offices. Brokers, loan officers, title companies, appraisers, property inspectors, landscapers, builders, and more. Collaborate using individual posts, stories, and live-stream video. The more you check-in, the better, so your local community is aware of the locations of the hardest-working mortgage and real estate professionals in their area. You can use the Manychat link to your Facebook messenger automation sequence as the link you use in your bio. The other option is to have a link to your own website. NOTE: If you are real estate agent who's motivated to create more content this year, I strongly recommend you have your own website and not rely soley on the MLS site your brokerage provides you. Branding yourself is crucial.
3. LinkedIn is for networking your business. Use this platform to collaborate with more B2B opportunites: Title companies, brokers, appraisers, inspectors, and YES...real estate investors. Use video as much as possible. This could not be more simple.
