🏡 🗝️ Here are 5 common challenges REALTORS® face with their marketing: 1. Pay per click ads are expensive and competitive: without a proper strategy around precision targeting, CPC can be very expensive with low conversion rates. 2. Social media marketing doesn't produce results: most commonly this is due to time and resources being spent on sites that don't make sense, or on content that isn't performing. 3. You aren't nurturing the leads you have: you are collecting emails but have no strategy to market to them. Real estate leads are temporary, and you have a small window to execute. 4. Nobody knows who you are: you need a personal brand and marketing strategy even if you are on a team. 5. Nobody trusts you: you are relying too heavily on AI for marketing, or aren't staying consistent with your marketing. If you're going to invest in it, you need to commit to it.
