Automated Social Media Posting for Estate Agents

Social Media for Estate Agents

Social media posting is an absolute must for businesses across all industries in today’s economy, with real estate being no exception.
Why? Put simply, social media can be used for advertising and marketing properties, building rapport with your customers, improving your online presence and increasing trust among potential clients (and more!).
It has to be done – but that doesn’t mean that you or your employees need to be spending time manually posting every new instruction to Instagram or advertising reduced properties on Facebook yourself.
Thanks to Rezi Premium’s powerful workflow engine, estate agents can set up automations to trigger social media posts automatically.
For example, you can set up workflows to:
  • Post images of properties to Facebook as soon as they are available
  • Post advertisement images to Instagram when price is reduced
  • Tweet whenever a property is sold
