Real Estate Lead Generation Ideas For Facebook

Boosted Posts

The Facebook boost feature is great for real estate lead generation.  It’s available to anyone with a Facebook business page and is easy to set up.  When you boost a post with Facebook, this means you are paying to get your content in front of more people.  Leverage this feature to get more eyes on Open House Announcements.  Boost customer testimonials to justify why you are the best real estate agent in your market. Also, boost Local Market Reports, which will showcase that you are a go-to resource about the local market.

When boosting a post you choose from one of two goals: to get more engagement or to get more messages.  Getting more engagement shows your ad to people who are likely to react, comment, and share your post.  This goal is good for increasing post engagement and page followers. However, the get more messages goal is what you want.  This option shows your ad to people who are likely to send you a message on Facebook.  Thus, allowing you to engage with the lead as soon as they show interest.
