Dos and Don’ts of Real Estate Social Media

Dos and Don’ts of Real Estate Social Media     

Everywhere you turn people are posting, tweeting, commenting and instant messaging.  Buyers, sellers and real estate agents are using Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, U-Tube, Instagram and it is an excellent marketing tool for selling or buying real estate when used properly.

On the reverse side, we have noticed many seemingly harmless or simple posts on social media that could affect the outcome of home buying or selling process and may even cost you thousands of dollars if the wrong person reads your post.

Here’s Aiken Home’s Team of Meybohm Realtors “Dos and Don’ts” to take advantage of the social media when selling or buying a real estate.

Do’s

Sellers…make sure you list your home with a Realtor that is tech savvy utilizes and incorporated several of social Medias in their marketing plan and posts positively.

When your Realtor shares links of your home on the internet or posts your home on their business website or Facebook page… share, share and share with your family and friends with a simple message.  We just listed our home for sale… can you please share this post or link with anyone you may know who might be interested in buying our home?  You’ll be astonished how far reaching this marketing technique can be.

Buyers…If you see a home or property of interest on the market or posted somewhere on website or social media for sale call your buyer’s agent for more information.  

Don’ts

Sellers…Be careful not to make postings and comments that may affect the outcome of a sale or interested buyer.  It's best to keep your real estate business transaction private until property is officially closed.

Even, if you are frustrated with lack of showings, buyer’s feedback do not post any negative or emotional comments and any details of an offer received or accepted.  It’s always best to contact your listing Realtor to talk directly to her or him versus posting your frustrations.  Your posts could be interpreted that you are anxious or desperate to sell. Posting details or comments of an offer received or accepted can hurt you if transaction doesn't work out and your home goes back on the market for sale.

Buyers…You found your dream home. You’re really excited and want to share with all your friends and family and you post the home you about to make an offer.  Not a good decision; posting anything before you have a fully signed “ ratified” contract with the sellers and never post the details of your offer even if accepted is not in your best interest.  An unassuming post could affect your power of negotiations if the seller or seller’s agent knows how much you love the property, costing your thousands of dollars.  Maybe one of your friend’s, friends is thinking about the same home. You can end up in a multiple offer situation and lose your dream home completely.


Social networking is fun and wonderful way to share good news but buyers and sellers post carefully, it could impact the success of your real estate transaction.
