Hello, and welcome back to Farm Friday! It has been a busy week at Virtuance. We have donated $5,000 to the Conscious Alliance to help support the victims of the Marshall Fire. We were devastated to learn that so many people were affected by the natural disaster, and we pledge to match your donations (up to another $5,000) if you donate as well. If you’re able, please consider donating here.
Last week, I gave you all 22 blog ideas to start 2022. I, of course, love listicles, and I want to keep the good times rolling with 22 social media post ideas! According to our recent report, most real estate agents use social media as part of their marketing strategy. If you’re not active on social media, you’re not keeping up with your peers.
Not all of these ideas will be relevant to you or your niche. For example, your real estate business may focus on first-time home sellers or experienced real estate investors. Please take what you can from this list and twist it, flip it, work it until it fits you and your brand. Social media is a great way to reach potential clients in the real estate industry. So, without further ado, here are some social media ideas for you so that you can save time posting on your social media platforms and more time closing real estate transactions!
1. Your Latest Listing (Photos or Video)
I’m sure it doesn’t surprise you that one of the most popular types of posts in the real estate social media sphere is a listing post. You can go so many different ways with this kind of real estate content. You could post a video of a listing, you could build image posts that feature your latest listings, or you could even add some royalty-free music and then post the listing on Instagram Stories, TikTok, or Facebook.
2. A Video About Real Estate Investing (Video)
If your target audience includes investors looking to start investing in real estate, then there’s no better place to share your knowledge than through a video.

You can also write about your farm area’s neighborhoods and which ones are best for specific potential buyers. For example, a young professional may be more likely to enjoy a community near an area’s urban center. At the same time, families may wish to be a bit further away in the suburbs. As a real estate agent, you can use your personal experience in the area to personalize these posts.
