Many realtors have found huge success by posting on Instagram.
Making an Instagram profile is easy and you can share data with Facebook, such as connect with anyone who follows you on Facebook with the “Find Friends” option.
Instagram is also 100 percent focused on photos, so use it to post the cream of the crop photos from current listings.
If you have an event coming up or a particular listing you want to highlight, you can add text to photos using phone apps like “Over” or “Piclab.” Also, make sure you have a contact link on your profile for prospective clients to get in touch with you after seeing your posts.
