In a world of authenticity and transparency, it’s crucial to be yourself not only at home but also at work. The real estate industry is no exception. As a real estate agent, you are your business which means people want to know the real you. Whether it be posting on social media or talking with clients, injecting your personality into your real estate job will only propel you forward.
In the Field
As a real estate agent you’ll communicate with your clients daily, either over the phone or in person, so your personality will always be on display. To form a genuine connection with your clients and gain their trust, it’s important to be yourself. Joke with your clients, listen to them and relate to their stories using your own experiences. This shows both new and current clients you are truly interested in what they want and they’ll appreciate your ability to open up to them.
On Social Media
With the increasing popularity of social media marketing, more and more real estate agents are using this tool to connect with their clients. Using social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and even TikTok have been proven effective in boosting engagement with existing clients and prospective clients. It’s an easy way to share more about yourself and let your personality shine. Posting photos, videos, and responding to comments are all ways you can interact with your followers and show your personality through social media.
