I might get canceled for saying this, but stop posting just listed and just sold photos. No one cares.
People don’t care about stock images, just listed and just sold photos, or even the high end photography you’re having produced. It’s so much more relatable to show how you are building your business while showing the struggles, the challenges, the sweat, the tears, and everything in between. People want to see the raw, behind-the-scenes authentic footage of what it took to actually build your business and brand.
At the end of the day, people work with people they like, not with brands that are faceless or anonymous.
The good news is that there is plenty for real estate agents to post that goes far beyond photos of a property. Here are nine examples of hooks and engaging content ideas for you to consider!
