Your Guide to Real Estate Hashtags in 2024
In 2024, an estimated 3.2 billion people will use social media worldwide. You know that using the right hashtags on social media can attract potential buyers and sellers. However, staying on top of the most effective real estate hashtags requires diligent research and savvy. This comprehensive guide for 2024 provides the latest and trendiest hashtags for different agents/brokers. You'll learn which hashtags perform best for targeting local markets, property types, services, and more. LET'S GO. Why You Need to Use Real Estate Hashtags in 2024 BLAH-BLAH-BLAH, I don't want to waste your time, nine important WHYs are here: Increased Visibility Targeted Reach Brand Awareness Engagement Boost Local Marketing Trend Awareness Community Building Content Organization Lead Generation Choosing the Right Hashtags for Your Target Audience Identify Your Target Clients To choose effective real estate hashtags, first, determine who your ideal clients are. Are you focused on buyers, sellers, investors, or all of the above? Identify the locations and property types in which they would be most interested. Monitor Popular Hashtags Once you know your target audience, monitor popular real estate hashtags to see which ones generate the most engagement. Tools like RiteTag, Hashtagify, and Keywee can show you the top real estate hashtags. Look for those that are most relevant to your business and clients. Test and Track Different Hashtags Try out different hashtags to determine which ones drive the most traffic and engagement for your social media posts. You may need to experiment with a mix of broad appeal and niche hashtags. Track the performance of different hashtags over time using analytics tools provided by the social networks themselves or third-party services like Sprout Social or Hootsuite. Stay Up to Date with Trends Real estate is an industry that is constantly changing, so the popularity of different hashtags will evolve. Pay attention to real estate social media influencers and see which new hashtags they are using. Check real estate industry reports on the latest social media trends. And reevaluate your hashtag strategy at least every six months to make sure you are up to date with the latest best practices. Measuring the Performance of Your Real Estate Hashtags To determine if the hashtags you are using are effectively promoting your real estate business, you need to track their performance. Impressions Impressions refer to the number of times your hashtags were seen on social media. A higher number of impressions means more visibility for your brand and listings. Engagements Engagements measure how many people interacted with your hashtags by liking, commenting, sharing, or clicking on them. Strong engagement shows your hashtags are resonating with your target audience. Aim for an engagement rate of at least 1-3% of your total impressions. If engagements are low, you may need to tweak your hashtags or content strategy. Conversions The most important metric is how many conversions your hashtags drive, such as website visits, lead captures or property inquiries. If your hashtags aren't generating conversions, they aren't achieving your ultimate business goals. The BEST and TOP real estate hashtags Now the best part! Remember, by millions, I mean total posts on social media.

Zurple Launches Pipeline Boost: A Social Media Leads Product Offering Real Estate Agents Quick, Steady Growth
Its second product release in two months, Zurple's Pipeline Boost provides timely support for the many real estate professionals in need of a budget-friendly way to get more clients with a steady flow of home buyer leads. HUNT VALLEY, Md., Sept. 5, 2023 -- Zurple, a forward-thinking mainstay in the real estate software industry, today announced the launch of Pipeline Boost, its latest social media leads product. Using targeted Facebook and Instagram ads featuring MLS listings to capture interested prospects, Pipeline Boost connects real estate agents with a high volume of exclusive home buyer leads in their local market each month. Zurple's team of advertising experts work on the agents' behalf to launch, manage, and optimize ad campaigns using Meta's advertising platform. By targeting consumers who have recently searched for real estate listings, Pipeline Boost customers will connect with qualified, motivated prospects who are in the preliminary stages of their home search. Every Pipeline Boost lead is exclusive; they are delivered to a single Pipeline Boost customer rather than being shared with multiple agents. With the combined benefits of done-for-you advertising and automated client generation, Pipeline Boost maximizes return on investment by enabling real estate professionals to achieve quick and steady growth with a high volume of leads, all while saving time and keeping costs to an affordable minimum. Additionally, Zurple's automation platform further enhances Pipeline Boost customers' lead-to-client conversion potential. As the lead expresses genuine interest in moving forward with the home-buying process, Zurple's automated, intelligent system works like a personal assistant that monitors lead activity and sends tailored, timely property updates and email and SMS messages to spark conversations. When a lead makes an inquiry that requires personalized attention, the agent is notified and provided with the lead's accurate contact information as collected via the lead-capture form. Thus, the system works on the agent's behalf to provide prime opportunities for generating not only more leads but also more clients. "We're thrilled to announce the release of Pipeline Boost," said Kerm Foltz, Zurple's Vice President of Revenue Operations. "Since the start, we've been committed to using automated lead nurture technology to help real estate agents build authentic relationships with ready-to-engage leads. We're able to deliver on that promise now more than ever by offering a solution that both drives growth during today's low-inventory market and is priced accessibly for the many agents who are currently facing serious budget constraints." Zurple has been recognized industry-wide for combining lead insights with behavior-based follow-up to effectively convert leads into real estate clients. Most recently, HousingWire included Zurple on its 2023 "Tech100 List," recognizing Zurple as a business that is "changing the home sales process forever" and "leading the way toward a more innovative and efficient housing market." Following the successful launch in June 2023 of Auto Listings, Zurple's seller client generation solution, Pipeline Boost is now the company's third real estate leads product. With budget-friendly packages starting at $300 for a minimum of 30 exclusive leads per month, it is now available to all new and current customers. Learn more about Pipeline Boost on Zurple.com. About Zurple Working to simplify the agent's day-to-day life, Zurple has been a leading provider of intelligent real estate marketing automation tools since 2009, empowering thousands of real estate professionals across North America to generate leads, expand their sphere, and build their personal brand.

Not only does social media advertising help agents reach a broader audience, Social Connect ads are displayed to leads which the advertising algorithm has identified are more likely to buy a home. The technology behind Top Producer Social Connect has undergone rigorous testing and development over the last year. As a result, it's delivering exceptional value and service for agents and their prospects. "Before coming to the market with our first lead product to connect consumers with real estate professionals, we wanted to create even more meaningful conversations for agents by enhancing our proven lead engagement technology," said Kerm Foltz, Top Producer's Senior Vice President of Operations. "Social Connect generates a large volume of affordable leads with accurate contact information, and is paired with our smart follow-up technology. It's a game changer for our customers with the number of quality interactions being generated." With access to one of the largest MLS networks, live MLS data is used to create active and sold listing ads that are then optimized by a team of advertising experts. The only thing agents need to do is choose their target city and budget—the rest is taken care of by Top Producer Social Connect. "I was surprised at how hands free the system is for real estate agents," said Marty Soller, a Top Producer Social Connect customer. "I've got 59 leads in the first three weeks—that's crazy." Fully integrated with Top Producer's industry-leading platform, incoming Social Connect leads are sent to the CRM where they are automatically nurtured with relevant content. Branded market reports, infographics and other media educates leads about their market and homebuying process with the goal of engaging and turning them into clients. "The lead nurture content is one of the big advantages of Top Producer Social Connect. Messages don't sound canned, have a better personality than other lead generation follow-up systems and include nice infographics," said Marty Soller. Knowing that real estate agents need relevant insights to make meaningful connections, all of their leads' important activities are tracked in a centralized location in the CRM. For every lead, their communication history with the agent and all of the properties they inquire about are saved within their contact record, helping the agent provide exceptional service.
