šŸ” Go From Scrolls to Solds: Which Social Platform Gets You Real Clients?

What works, what doesn’t, and how to use each platform strategically.

In partnership with:

🌟 Good evening, real estate agents! Let’s 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.

Here’s the truth: šŸ’” The average conversion rate for internet-generated real estate leads is between 0.4% and 1.2%.

That means for every 100–250 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, we’ll break down the big three: Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok—helping you figure out what works, what doesn’t, and how to use each platform strategically.

Let’s get into it. šŸ‘‡ļø

4ļøāƒ£ 🧠 Final Takeaways for Real Estate Pros

Here’s how the three platforms stack up:

Platform

Best For

Agent Tip

Facebook

Community building, testimonials

Be local, be personal, be consistent

Instagram

Visual storytelling, lifestyle

Mix listings with local flavor & behind-the-scenes

TikTok

Trends, creative education

Keep it real, post often, and deliver value fast

5ļøāƒ£ šŸ’¬ Action Step: What To Do Today

šŸŽÆ Post a short video on all three platforms answering this question:
ā€œWhat’s the biggest myth about buying a home right now?ā€

āœ”ļø Use a trending sound
āœ”ļø Add captions
āœ”ļø End with a CTA: ā€œMessage me to learn what’s really going on in the market.ā€
āœ”ļø Track your views. Track your DMs. Track your closings. Then repeat.

ā±ļø Also track how much time you spend creating vs. converting.

šŸ“‰ Remember: Conversion is low. It takes over 100 engagements to produce ONE potential lead—and that lead might not even be qualified.

Social media is a supplement—not a strategy. Use it to support the Real Work of Real Estate… not to replace it.

TOGETHER WITH LIBERTAS

You’re doing the work.
šŸ“ž Calls.
šŸƒā€ā™‚ļø Showings.
āœļø Follow-ups.

But here’s the truth: hustle without the right system will only burn you out.

That’s where eXp Realty with Tim & Julie Harris + the Libertas Group changes everything:
šŸ”„ FREE Premier Coaching (the same program others pay thousands for)
šŸ”„ Weekly masterminds with top-producing agents
šŸ”„ Step-by-step onboarding to set you up fast
šŸ”„ A proven roadmap to real income + real freedom

This isn’t about grinding harder — it’s about plugging into a machine that works.

šŸ”š Final Word from Tim & Julie

You’re not just posting to get attention—you’re posting to build reputation, authority, and trust.

Cat videos are cute. But consistent, local, valuable content will make you referable.

Don’t chase the algorithm—lead with expertise.
