50+ Blog Ideas For Real Estate Agents & Brokers

The Ideal Blogging Frequency

Before you read this list, it might be helpful to discuss the ideal blogging frequency for real estate professionals.

According to Hubspot, companies that blog 16+ times per month generate 3.5x more traffic and 4.5x more leads than companies that blog 0-4 times per month.

Blogging at a rate of 16 times monthly works out to approximately 4 blog posts per week.

Now, very few people have the ability to create that much content while still holding down a full-time job.

Thankfully, you don’t need to reach that frequency and can still see success.

Do What You Can

One post per week is better than none, and two posts per week is better than one.

You should aim to produce as much content as you are capable of, while still maintaining balance with regards to the other aspects of your business.

Personally, I find that half the battle is actually coming up with a topic to start writing about.

Once the creative juices get flowing it’s a lot easier to bust out 500+ words.

That’s why I put this list of real estate blog ideas together, there are 56 topics to write about here.

Don’t have enough time to consistently produce new content?
