Three Social Media Tips for Home Sellers

If you are trying to sell your own home, finding buyers can be difficult. Homeowners trying to sell their home without a realtor have fewer resources to find and market to home buyers. One of the many ways that you can find potential buyers is to make use of social media. Here are three tips for using social media to sell your home.

YouTube Video Tour

Creating a video tour of your home will get your listing out there in more places, and it will generate more interest in your listing. You can easily create short videos with a number of apps such as Magisto. These apps are very user friendly. 

Once your video tour is complete, upload it on YouTube and use tags for your community. You can also share the video tour on other social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. If anyone contacts you about the property, you can refer them to the YouTube video tour.

Facebook Groups

Every local community has Facebook groups for residents to connect with one another, find a service, or buy and sell items. You can use these groups to post your listing of your home for sale. It is acceptable to post your listing in multiple groups. Posting in social media groups where homebuyers are looking for goods and services is a good way to generate interest in your home for sale.

Local Hashtags

Regardless of which social media platform you use (and you should be using all of them), you should include local hashtags on your listing. Hashtags are one way that people search for what they are looking for on social media. If you use local hashtags and make your posts public, you will generate a lot more interest in your real estate listing.
