You already know that building your personal brand is vital for growing your real estate business. But it’s not just about potential new clients knowing your name.
You need to build depth into your personal brand, so those potential new clients know they can trust you with one of the biggest financial decisions they’ll make in their life. They want to know you’re an expert, that you’ll work hard on their behalf, and that other clients have trusted you with great results.
As we go into the summer holiday period, it can be a really effective time to use tools such as ListingLogic’s automated personal branding campaigns to start building a smart, multi-layered profile on different digital platforms. That means as people start to make those big life decisions about where they’re going to live in the new year, you’re the first person they think of to contact.
Building a sophisticated personal brand online doesn’t mean telling people what you’re great at. It’s about showing people what you know and demonstrating success.
One of the most powerful ways to do that is social proof. The simplest definition of social proof is that people believe something to be true because others whose opinion they already trust, believe something to be true. It’s people seeking reassurance and validation from others. It is, essentially, what social media “influencers” do.
Some of the ways you can build social proof as a real estate agent is to share the validation you’ve received from others. This might include:
Did you know client testimonials are trusted 12 times more than direct marketing? That’s because potential customers want to hear from people just like them, and know they’ve had a great experience with you.
These help add to the story of your success from people who don’t yet know you. They help demonstrate your experience, expertise, and success.
Results are worth their weight in gold when it comes to building trust with new customers. If you have a great customer testimonial and can show you got a great result for that customer, new clients get the full picture of the service you can offer. You could also show them results from previous ListingLogic listing campaigns to demonstrate your commitment to finding them the right potential buyers.
Sharing regular content that illustrates your expertise is another powerful way to demonstrate your knowledge and build trust with potential new customers. This might be short videos or blogs on local market trends or advice on navigating common hurdles in the buying and selling process.
Making people more aware of your brand and building social proof not only generates more traffic and engagement; it has the power to drive sales, attract new opportunities, and gain audience insights that can help you optimise and transform your marketing strategy for the better.
