3)How will this allow me to interact with my potential clients & builders?

The best way to interact with your potential clients & builders is through Social Media. You need to find out where your customers are spending their time. Is it  Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Linkedin? Once you know you that, your second step should be to create a business page on that Social Media platform, followed by posting regularly something that adds value for your customers. 

We, at Digi4Real, highly recommend creating a business website along with Social Media business pages. Website increases your visibility on the Internet and gives you more freedom to personalize the content you post. Another benefit of having a business website is that it lets your visitors become subscribers. This helps with Email Marketing by staying in touch with your clients via Emails about current Listings, any promotional offers, Open Houses and more. 

4)Will I be able to advertise and promote my business through Real Estate Online Marketing?

Absolutely! When it comes to Online Marketing it all boils down to this; do you want to build smart Advertising Campaigns or simply Invest and set a Budget expecting results to occur miraculously. Yes, you can advertise and promote your Real Estate business via paid Facebook & Youtube ads. Do we recommend this as the first step to marketing? No!

Why not? Because customer do a thorough background research before making a purchase. They want to know who you work for, what your brand is, how well established your business is and what do you bring to the table. If your customer does not know about your experience they will not know how well established your Business is. A strong foundation is necessary before investing in paid advertising. Building a brand requires taking into account all forms of Online Marketing before investing in Paid Social Media advertising. 

5)What are smart Advertising Campaigns?

Besides building a strong foundation for your Real Estate Business, you need to also collect data. Facebook and Google offer tools that lets you know who is interacting with your Social Media pages, your website, what are they interested in, how much time they are spending on your website and more. With this data, Paid Advertising becomes more efficient. It let’s you target those visitors and visitors with similar interest; also known as Psychographics (a qualitative methodology used to describe traits of humans on psychological attributes.) This converts much better than directly jumping into paid advertising while also increasing your ROI. 

6)Can I conduct transactions Online?

Yes! It’s 2021! A lot is happening digitally including open houses, virtual tours, and majority of paperwork is being done digitally via E-signatures. Good news is that there are programs that let you conduct transactions directly from your website (given that you are offering services like consultation/property evaluation or virtual open houses with floor plans and price-list on your website).
