 📲 Why Facebook & Instagram Matter in Real Estate – For Realtors, Buyers, and Sellers

By Malcolm Davis – HomeVets Realty

In today’s real estate world, having a strong presence on social media isn’t just a tre
nd — it’s a necessity. Whether you’re buying, selling, or working as a real estate professional, platforms like Facebook and Instagram have become powerful tools that make the whole process faster, smarter, and more connected.

Here’s why I, Malcolm Davis, believe that Facebook and Instagram are game-changers for everyone in real estate:

🔑 For Realtors: Visibility, Trust & Real-Time Engagement

As a realtor, my job isn’t just about finding homes — it’s about building relationships. And guess what? Social media lets me do just that 24/7.

  • Showcasing Listings: I can instantly share photos, videos, and open house details with hundreds (or thousands!) of people in one post.

  • Building Trust: People get to know me beyond the business. They see who I am, how I work, and the success stories I help create.

  • Answering Questions Fast: DMs and comments allow for real-time conversations. I can answer a question or schedule a showing right from my phone.

A strong online presence makes a realtor more accessible and relatable — and that’s something today’s clients really value.

🏠 For Sellers: More Eyes = More Offers

Gone are the days when a "For Sale" sign and a listing on the MLS were enough. With Facebook and IG, I can get a seller’s home in front of the right people almost instantly.

  • Targeted Marketing: I can promote listings directly to people actively searching in specific neighborhoods or price ranges.

  • Virtual Showings: Short videos, Reels, and walkthroughs let potential buyers tour the home from their phones — before they even step inside.

  • Increased Exposure: The more people who see your home, the faster we can generate interest and secure competitive offers for you.

It’s about selling smart — not just listing a property, but marketing it effectively. Social media gives us that edge.

🔍 For Buyers: Access, Updates & Education

If you’re a buyer, especially in a fast-moving market, you need information and updates — fast. Following realtors (like me 😎) on Facebook and Instagram can give you:

  • Early Access: I often post homes before they hit the MLS, giving followers a head start.

  • Neighborhood Insights: I share tips about local areas, school districts, new construction, and market trends — all right on your feed.

  • Learning Opportunities: From loan tips to inspection advice, I post content to help buyers feel informed and empowered.

It’s more than pretty pictures — it’s a steady stream of valuable, real-time knowledge.

📢 Final Thoughts from Malcolm Davis

At the end of the day, real estate is a people business — and people are on social media. That’s why Facebook and Instagram aren’t just tools — they’re platforms that connect us in meaningful ways.

Whether you're buying, selling, or looking for the right agent to guide you, don't underestimate the power of a well-placed post or a helpful video. That next story you tap or post, you scroll past might just be the key to your next home.

Follow along, ask questions, and don't hesitate to reach out. I’m always here to help — both online and off.

Buying a home during Christmas

  Buying a home during Christmas can actually give you several quiet advantages that are easy to miss if you only shop in the busy spring or summer months. For the right family and the right situation, the holidays can be one of the smartest times of the year to make a move. Because tool use is disabled for this reply, the points below come from general market patterns and experience rather than fresh data, so always check current local conditions before acting. Fewer Buyers, Less Competition Most people do not want to move during the holidays. Between travel, school breaks, weather, and family events, many buyers decide to “wait until next year.” That can work in your favor. With fewer active buyers, you may face fewer multiple‑offer situations and bidding wars. You often get more time to think about an offer instead of making a rushed decision. Sellers who stay on the market during Christmas are usually serious, not just “testing” their price. For your family, less competition ca...

  From 2025 to 2026: New Beginnings, New Homes, New Opportunities By Malcolm Davis | Homevets Realty As we close the door on 2025 and step confidently into 2026, the New Year brings more than a change in the calendar—it brings fresh opportunities, renewed goals, and new possibilities in real estate across Central Texas. 2025 was a year of adjustment, learning, and resilience for buyers and sellers alike. Interest rates shifted, inventory evolved, and many families took a more thoughtful approach to major financial decisions. Through it all, one thing remained constant: the desire for stability, ownership, and a place to truly call home. As we move into 2026, that desire is stronger than ever. Reflecting on 2025: A Year of Strategy, Not Speed In 2025, the real estate market rewarded preparation over pressure. Buyers became more educated, sellers more strategic, and transactions more intentional. Gone were the days of rushing into decisions—successful moves were made by those who pl...
