Create a summer market newsletter. Feature seasonal market guidance, such as the best times to buy or sell, summer maintenance tips, and local market data, such as inventory levels or average days on market. The best part of sending a newsletter is that it gets shared, extending your reach. Look for free newsletter templates from Canva, Google Docs or Adobe to give it a sharp and professional look.
Summer Trends Social Media Posts
Create social media posts that focus on summer real estate trends. Articles may include current trends, such as types of properties in demand, tips for preparing your home to sell in the late summer market, and the benefits of buying a home before the start of the school year. Add quality photos relevant to each post to stand out and draw attention. Many websites offer high-quality, free stock photos, such as Adobe Stock Images and Unsplash.
Virtual Neighborhood Tour on Social Media
Create engaging virtual tours of neighborhoods where you have listings or specialize. Highlight not just the homes for sale but also local amenities, schools, parks, and community events. Promote these tours through targeted social media advertising to attract potential buyers and sellers interested in those areas. Tour videos showcase your local market knowledge and position you as a valuable resource for anyone looking to buy or sell in those neighborhoods. How-To Tutorial by Will Draper (@itswilldraper)
