Today’s real estate market is driven by online presence, and the data makes that clear. Around 43% of buyers start their home search online, and 46% of agents say social media is their top source of high-quality leads, while the average person spends over two hours per day on these platforms. Video plays an even bigger role; video content generates significantly more engagement and shares than static posts. At the same time, many agents still aren’t using video consistently due to time constraints or not knowing what to say, which creates a major opportunity. Agents who show up regularly with strategic content build trust faster, stay top-of-mind, and often see stronger business growth, making a consistent social media presence one of the most valuable tools in real estate today.
