4. Youtube Videos of Properties

  • If there is a home for sale and you show it, might as well film a walk-thru and post it to YouTube with the address. If this home is popular on Zillow or anywhere else, people will be looking up the address and your video walk-thru will pop up first, making you the PERFECT showing Agent
  • Post Vlogs about Local Events, Local Restaurants etc. These places get a lot of searches and views. Do not think in terms of just posting and marketing directly to get deals. Think Bigger – think posting content that gets EYEBALLS. The more views and exposure you get, the more people you reach. Again, you won’t have to tell them you can help with them with their Real Estate Needs – They will Know it.
