Post About Neighborhoods
When people are considering buying a home they want to know as much about the neighborhood as possible. So you should be regularly posting information about the neighborhoods that you represent. Post information about local parks and attractions, and include photos. If there are regular events like a community-wide yard sale or a special art festival post information about those events. Then go to those events and grab some candid photos from the event to post on your social media. You can also post videos or live stream from the events to get the attention of the people who follow your social media.
Post Useful Lifestyle Content
People want to see engaging content that has value to them. So make sure that you’re posting plenty of DIY home makeover content, articles about home design trends, and other design and décor information that people can use to make their homes more attractive and more personal. Posting the right content establishes you as an expert to the people that follow you so they will be more likely to come to you when they want to buy or sell a home.
