Premier Real Estate

Now that we have talked about two of the major points as to why a real estate agent should not have a Facebook page – let’s touch base on three more points that are very important.  One thing is the content of the Facebook page.  Most of the time, your Facebook page is not going to contain a lot of the content that you can provide via a blog or even your own website – so that is something that you need to really think about.

The next thing is going to be SEO.  If you are going to sign up for a business Facebook page to promote your website and/or blog – you are going to cut them off at the knees because you are not going to have any SEO on your Facebook page, which you could add onto your blog or website.  Another thing is the prospects that you could gain via Facebook – while you might end up with a lot of fans, you are not truly going to be earning a lot of money.

Facebook is a place for teenagers and people who are not trying to run a business – while I personally love Facebook, I would never put my business on it.

In this generation, we no longer have to worry about business cards and going to social gatherings it seems like because everything is computerized and everyone is looking to move their business online.  While that sounds like a good idea in the beginning, there are many different reasons why a real estate agent should not sign up on a place like Facebook.  While I personally think that myspace is okay, I do not think that Facebook is a good option for a real estate agent.

One of the first reasons is because why would anyone – especially a prospect want to become a fan of their real estate agent?  What would honestly be point of it?  I mean, it is nice that you are trying to get involved with your prospects but to be completely honest, there is no real point for your prospects or clients to become your fans.  Another thing is traffic to the actual page.  If you are splitting up your attention between Facebook and your actual website and blogs – that could interfere with the traffic to your website.

We are going to talk about more points in the next blog but these two points are by far the biggest and the ones that need to be addressed.
