In this episode of The Den, we dive into the impact of social media on the real estate market and how it can influence both selling and buying homes. With over half of people now getting their news from platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, we discuss the necessity of having a social media presence in today's real estate landscape.

I introduce my co-hosts from The Lyons Group, including Paul, Barry, Aspen, and Shannon, and we reminisce about our early experiences with social media, particularly MySpace. We explore how the evolution of social media has changed the way we market properties, with Aspen sharing her insights on the importance of being front-of-mind for younger buyers who may be unfamiliar with the home-buying process.

We also touch on the balance between polished, professional content and more authentic, relatable posts. Shannon highlights how social media can serve as a modern-day open house, allowing potential buyers to connect with listings in a more engaging way. However, we caution against being overly repetitive or spammy, as this can stigmatize a property and deter interest.

The conversation shifts to the importance of understanding different social media platforms, with each offering unique advantages for reaching various demographics. We discuss the potential pitfalls of having a polarizing online presence and how it can affect buyer-seller dynamics.

As we wrap up, we engage in a speed round to identify the most impactful social media platforms for real estate marketing, with opinions varying from TikTok to YouTube and Facebook. Ultimately, we emphasize the need for realtors to adapt to the changing landscape while maintaining authenticity in their online interactions.
