Pinterest and Real Estate

Technology is ever changing. It seems daily there is a new app or trendy site. Some are quick to catch on, others take a while. Pinterest is a site that took no time at all to catch on. For those who may not know, Pinterest is a company that provides an internet service that they describe as “a visual discovery tool.” People use Pinterest to collect ideas for projects and interests. Users create and share collections (called “boards”) of visual bookmarks (called “Pins”).

Pinterest began as a site for hobbyists and enthusiasts but has quickly grown into a resourceful tool for many industry businesses – Real Estate being one of them. How is Pinterest a resourceful tool for Real Estate?

Buyers can create inspiration boards with pins for their dream home or multiple boards being very specific. By creating boards, they are able to collect all of their dream home items and must haves in one convenient location that they can share with their buyer’s agent. This tool enables them to articulate their vision of the home they are looking to purchase.

For sellers, Pinterest is a resourceful tool full of ideas and inspiration for home staging. Great tips and trends for remodels. As well as DIY and home repair projects, should items need to be fixed.

For REALTORS® it is a great way to create informative yet fun boards showcasing their county(s), city(s) and neighborhood(s). If you are relocating or buying a home for the first time following a REALTOR®’s Pinterest boards may open a whole new world of ideas and possibilities.
