shutterstock_171921824Real Estate Agents need to build a strong bond with their clients to help them sell or purchase a property. Being in a position of helping out with large purchases or sales is a big responsibility.

But how do people who are wanting to buy or sell a property choose an agent?

Real Estate agents are using the benefits of websites to promote properties. Clients like this approach as they can view the properties. So the Agent Profiles are a very big credibility builder and the personalisation to really connect with potential clients the better.

By adding a video to your Agent profile, this allows you to:

  • Introduce yourself
  • Share some details that connect you to your audience

  • Talk about market updates

You can build a strong reputation by building a presence on Youtube. This also assists with your Google Ranking.

  • Posting semi-regular video on Youtube
  • Posting worthwhile content
  • personalised video with your personality shining through
  • Using content ideas from your day-to-day Real Estate activities

For your agent profile, it is worth going through the process of creating a personalised, professional video that represents your brand. You can be proud to display on your agent profile. Then, more casual smart phone video can be taken and displayed on Youtube – these could be of your current properties, etc.
