Most agents post listings and little else. Listings show what you have; they don’t show why someone should hire you. The agents who win clients from social media mix listings with content that shows local knowledge and expertise.
The short answer: rotate between market updates, neighbourhood guides, process explainers, buyer and seller tips, myths, listings and real deal stories. Answer the questions clients actually ask you, keep videos short, and make sure your brokerage and licensing information follows your state’s advertising rules.
