How do you measure most effective? I've never sold a home off of social media. I post everything on social media to give it exposure but it's not what brings clients at the end of the day.

I haven't found social media to be that effective, but I do create multiple posts and occasionally boost them on FB. I still see that the MLS and Direct Mail (and email) Campaigns get me 99.9% of my buyers for my listings.

Social media to sell a home? Questionable at best. It impresses sellers, but unlikely effective.

I'm a great fan of Realbird.... have used them for years and found them via Katerina Gasset ... when Katerina recommends a site, I go there.... she's never been wrong....

I have yet to see social sell a home.  Even with targeted ads, I have yet to get as much as a showing from social.  To the point where I say "why bother", except for social exposure.  The only thing that has worked for me lately has been creating a calendar entry for me to do a paid ad (usually $5-$10).  That entry has actually gotten me offers on two listings in the last two days!

Facebook ads of course.

Be aware, the new listing is just a shiny thing that attracts a consumer to your REAL business.

Hint number 1:Make sure you are able to track 'source' via click bait or isolated video destination.  

Hint number 2: Do a CC type of video embedded or linked to the FB advertising.  Let the consumer know it is only 40 seconds long.

Not sure which site is the most effective, but posting to all of them will certainly give your listings the exposure to the general public. Do you use RealBird to market your lstings?

The MLS is the best way to promote a listing followed by a sign with flyers in the front yard.  Emailing all agents in your company and those in your data base is next and then Facebook Ads.  Change price with ten days if it hasn't sold to trigger IDX saved searches.  Price it right and make it accessible with as much light as possible.

To me effective means I find potential buyers and get an offer. My effort would be a house priced right, good pictures, good description and target the most potential buyers for that home

I use social media but what's most effective is not the site but a property that shows well, and is priced well.

  Link your blog post, with images, to FB and Twitter and Pinterest and Houzz and every other SM website.

   Save your money on paid ads, unless you plan to be in it for the long run, not just one listing.

FB as Annette Lawrence , Palm Harbor, FL 727-420-4041 said. Pinterest is also a great place to market. I put everything on all of the sm sites anyway but, the calls come primarily from FB.

The other sites I use are not really social media - like ListingsToLeads & RealBird.
