She is a Realtor Magazine 30 Under 30 award winner, and she's wowing real estate clients in Charlotte, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. I just loved talking with Cristina about how she leverages social media to build relationships and attract perfect-fit clients to her business. Love it or hate it, social media is a huge part of the modern marketing landscape, and if we're honest, most of us could get better at using it. Cristina shares her valuable insights on what to post and how to post it on the main platforms and gives boots-on-the-ground advice for leveling up your social media content game as a real estate agent. Being Authentic Online Are you Instagram averse? Do you feel like a Facebook failure? Well, according to Cristina, it is probably because you're not being true to yourself in what you're posting. Post those cute baby pics, let your followers see when you're traveling, and add a snap when you're at work. If you're genuine in what you post on your social feeds, potential clients follow you because they're interested in you as a person, they want to engage with you on a deeper level, and they love being part of your world. Cristina shares why she ditched her professional Instagram account in favor of bringing her whole self to work and building AUTHENTIC and real relationships online. She describes how her engagement went off the scale when she started combining her personal passions with her love of home buying and selling. As well as diving into how to leverage your social media channels to attract perfect-fit clients, Cristina also gave me some valuable insights into converting Zillow leads successfully. And why your responsiveness online boosts engagement and attracts referrals, repeat clients, and leads.
