In fact, your success as an agent in 2020 will be determined by the kind of real estate agent marketing tools you use to attract, nurture, and engage leads. Here are the 10 must-have real estate marketing tools for agents in 2020: 1. Spacio An open house is one of the most effective strategies for advertising your properties and services. When potential buyers stop by, your objective should be to understand what their needs are. This will help you have a more specific and relevant conversation. While talking to visitors, you need a way to monitor their questions and comments. However, taking out a notebook and writing notes can be a little awkward when having a conversation. Spacio is one of the best real estate marketing tools for collecting information from potential buyers during an open house. The signup form can be customized so it captures the kind of data you want from visitors. For instance, you can learn about their: Ideal location Budget Property size preference Important features 2. Boost Running ads is one of the most effective ways of getting noticed and attracting new real estate leads. This could be ads on flyers, newspapers, sponsored ads on social media or pay-per-click (PPC) ads on Google. Each of these options requires writing ad copy manually, adding in property details, and uploading images. This not only takes time but leaves room for data entry errors. To make your work easier, it would be advisable to use automation to create ads. One of the best tools for automating ad creation in 2020 is Boost. This tool posts ads on Google, Instagram, Facebook, and other sites. Every time one of your listings lands on the Multiple Listing Service, Boost automatically creates ads for you. Since the information is based on the information on MLS, your ads will be very accurate. 3. Mailchimp When people share their email addresses on your website, they automatically become real estate leads. This gives you an opportunity to nurture them until they become clients.

Mailchimp is one of the most effective real estate marketing tools for lead nurturing. This email marketing tool comes with simple drag and drop features to create campaigns and email templates. 4.

New content will keep visitors coming back to your pages and enhance the chances of your content being shared. However, generating fresh content regularly can be very stressful and time-consuming, especially if you don’t have a full real estate team with someone dedicated to social media.

These regular posts will help increase engagement on your pages and attract new followers in 2020. It 5.
