End the Year Strong: Leverage Social Media and Automated Property Advertising — the Right Way!
A record 4.9 billion people are using social media in 2023. The most active social media network continues to be Facebook, with 2.9 million monthly active users worldwide. It's the primary reason that the National Association of REALTORS® reports that Facebook is the No. 1 social media channel for real estate agents, used by 76 percent of its members.
However, NAR research also notes that fewer than one in five real estate agents (17 percent) use social media, like Facebook, to market homes. The opportunities to stand out from your competition by leveraging social media to market your listings — and your business — are enormous.

Create A CMA Report In Just 2 Clicks
A comparative market analysis (CMA) is one of the most valuable tools you can have for helping a seller price a property to move. If you work with sellers, you will create hundreds or even thousands of these reports over the years. Without a CMA, properties can easily be overpriced or underpriced, undercutting the seller's goals.
What Is a Comparative Market Analysis?
In a comparative market analysis, the real estate agent evaluates recent sales throughout the area so they know how much real buyers are prepared to pay before a property goes on the market. The analysis is "comparative" because the agent must identify similar properties in the area that have sold over the last few months.
