Social media marketing is about branding, not sales. And that’s where most real estate agents miss the mark. Social channels like Facebook and Instagram afford you the opportunity to build rapport with potential clients, sharing your interests so that people come to know you as a person. At the end of the day, your social connections need to know you’re in real estate—and like you.
Felix Hung, also known as #felixthecoach, is the Huntington Beach Branch Manager with Realty ONE Group. He also serves as a mentor, helping realtors significantly increase their sales volume through simple, effective systems that include a combination of traditional and social media marketing techniques. Felix has 14 years of experience in real estate, selling 100-plus homes in the DC Metro and California markets.

He discusses using his personal Facebook page to build rapport through long-form blog posts and Facebook Live videos, sharing both personal interests as well as real-estate related content. We chat about the similarities between social media and direct-mail farming and the difference between ‘now business’ and social as a ‘future pipeline.’ Listen in for Felix’s insight around the psychology of developing content, and learn how to leverage social media as a marketing tool—just by being YOU.

Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook: How to Tell Your Story in a Noisy Social World by Gary Vaynerchuk
Facebook has stated that a person should not use a personal page for business purposes. They have also stated that they would punish people that do so by reducing their personal page reach. Is this not what you are tracking?
I think thats the difference. Real estate is not a job its a lifestyle and posting your daily story is what we are talking about.We’re not talking about advertising on your personal page but story telling. if that were against their policy the whole platform would have to shut down.
