More Social Media Marketing Tools

Other real estate social media management companies include:

Circlepix
CityBlast
Promote
Zentap

Full Marketing Agencies

The companies above make social media their primary calling card, even when they bleed over into digital marketing more broadly.

Some companies are full service, end-to-end marketing companies that include your social media game. Examples include:

Corefact
Keeping Current Matters
Lumentus
SM Sold
StreetText

CRMs and Platforms

Some CRMs and Platforms have robust and useful social media marketing components that help inform or automate your social media strategy.

These are mostly DIY and won’t likely replace the solutions above. But they can have very useful tools for real estate agents to integrate into your social media strategy. Some of the best examples with great social media tools include:

Email Marketing

Closely related to social media marketing is email marketing and newsletter content for home buyers and sellers. Many of these firms run both, for example:

Outbound Engine

Downfalls of Automation

If you hate social media, then a simple service like those above that curate and generate content for you might be worthwhile, just to make you and your business look “alive”.

But the content is generally going to be generic. If you aren’t engaging yourself with your own brand and your own voice, you are not going to go far on social media.

If you are serious about social media as a cornerstone of your marketing and lead generation, I recommend curating the content yourself with social media platforms like Buffer or Hootsuite. You can then add your thoughts or your own twist on that content, making sure you are still authentic and build trust with your audience and potential clients.

Conclusion

There is help if you are embarrassed by your social media game. And there is help if social media is the beating heart of your business strategy and you want to get up to your elbows in it.
