Real estate social media use
Although each agent has a different method of using the diverse set of tools that comprise social media, Postling.com has pulled together a number of data points (some from right here on AG) to create an infographic to give a better understanding of a bigger picture of how the industry is using social media.
The information outlined below is interesting, but two data points caught our eye. First, the comfort levels with social media according to Postling’s research is far lower than our research with our audience almost universally considering themselves tech savvy. Secondly, it caught our eye that one key concept that real estate agents are better at than small businesses in general is reception of alerts for tweets and wall posts which affirms our belief that agents that are engaged in social media do not typically have a staff to fall back on if their efforts fail, so a large portion do their homework before diving in.
