In partnership with:
š Good evening, real estate agents! Letās face it, agents are spending hours creating content, chasing likes, and chasing algorithms, hoping that somehow a buyer or seller will magically appear. But hope is not a strategy.
Hereās the truth: š” The average conversion rate for internet-generated real estate leads is between 0.4% and 1.2%.
That means for every 100ā250 social media leads, you might close one.
And yet, social media, done right, can absolutely generate business. The key? Knowing where your audience is, what content actually converts, and how to be seen as a real estate professional (not just another dancing agent with a ring light).
In this guide, weāll break down the big three: Facebook, Instagram, and TikTokāhelping you figure out what works, what doesnāt, and how to use each platform strategically.

Hereās how the three platforms stack up:
Platform | Best For | Agent Tip |
---|---|---|
Community building, testimonials | Be local, be personal, be consistent | |
Visual storytelling, lifestyle | Mix listings with local flavor & behind-the-scenes | |
TikTok | Trends, creative education | Keep it real, post often, and deliver value fast |
5ļøā£ š¬ Action Step: What To Do Today
šÆ Post a short video on all three platforms answering this question:
āWhatās the biggest myth about buying a home right now?ā
āļø Use a trending sound
āļø Add captions
āļø End with a CTA: āMessage me to learn whatās really going on in the market.ā
āļø Track your views. Track your DMs. Track your closings. Then repeat.
ā±ļø Also track how much time you spend creating vs. converting.
š Remember: Conversion is low. It takes over 100 engagements to produce ONE potential leadāand that lead might not even be qualified.
Social media is a supplementānot a strategy. Use it to support the Real Work of Real Estate⦠not to replace it.
TOGETHER WITH LIBERTAS
Youāre doing the work.
