They’re Here: Effective Facebook Video Ads for Agents

By
Real Estate Technology with Homesnap

The average person checks Facebook 14 times every single day. 14 times! That makes Facebook a huge opportunity for agents to promote their brand and boost their business.

Social media expert Gary Vaynerchuk reinforced this during his keynote speech at Inman Connect last August. He said, “If you’re sitting in this room this morning, you have a real career, a real business. The fact that most people in this room don’t invest $1,000 a month into Facebook is borderline laughable and downright stupid.”

But creating a simple Facebook ad isn’t enough. Your content needs to be engaging in order to stand out from the crowd and win leads.

That’s where Homesnap’s new professionally designed Facebook video ads come in. Research even shows that video ads receive three times more clicks than static ads. Homesnap’s eye-catching video ads showcase your transactions and your market, and they target the zip codes you select, making them highly relevant to everyone who sees them. Plus, they are automatically updated weekly to keep their content fresh.

Homesnap does all the heavy lifting after receiving your order. We work quickly to create your ad using your MLS data, and we then optimize the ad’s budget every day so you receive the highest ROI. It’s completely automated, which is the number one reason agents love our marketing tools.

Homesnap Facebook Video Ads are only available to agents who are registered for Homesnap Pro, the 5-star app used daily by realtors around the country. Preview your ads today!

Now that Facebook videos are given priority, the video ads will definitely be the new 'in' thing.

Absolutely, and early adopters will be ahead of the curve. That's why we wanted to make it easy for agents and took the guesswork out of the whole process.

OK, I'm finding it hard to believe that the "average" person checks Facebook 15 times a day.  If so, I am really bringing down the national average.  So are most of the people I know - even the Millenials I know!  Still, I think there really is a market for well-made video ads for real estate marketing and you'll find an audience here!

And welcome to ActiveRain. We could have you addicted in no time.

Welcome! I actually just signed up for the video ads 2 days ago and anxiously awaiting the results. They're very well-done and the reports are excellent. I also added the Instagram ads because I find IG to actually be more interactive than Facebook for business. Hoping to get some awesome results.

With over two billion monthly users, Facebook can certainly bring more eyeballs and attention to companies serving any type of market.
