A recent NAR report said that 77% of buyers use social media in their home search, but only 16% of agents use social media in their marketing endeavors. Our research shows that most agents, only 1% out of that 16%, actually know how to use social media properly and effectively. Using our process, we get thousands of hits and shares per month. Your home will be exposed to a broad—yet targeted—audience by:
• Providing pre-market information to potential buyers currently searching with the “Coming Soon” campaign

• Creating cookies and pixeling on the backend to capture target audience and go after buyers who are searching
• Posting weekly updates on online syndications such as Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Craigslist, BB Lux Homes, Oodle, HotPad, and many more to keep your home in top spots
• Paid listing enhancements to keep your property in prime position on these sites
• Having backend access to major real estate sites to create unique, attractive postings that are more accurate than MLS information
• Creating paid advertisements through Adwerx (Adwerx technology identifies and analyzes online consumer behavior to target potential buyers looking in your area, even if they are hundreds of miles away)
