People need to see properties and homes they need to buy. Social media which are also visual by nature and offer images and videos as their main form of content can be the best option for any Real Estate agent to promote their business online. However, due to the large number of social media platforms available, picking the best social media platform for Real Estate can be tricky. Since this is the question any real estate agent faces and asks,  we decided to do some research on the matter and find the answers any REALTOR is looking for. <\/p><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #326df7;color:#326df7\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #326df7;color:#326df7\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/the-best-social-media-platform-for-real-estate\/#Background_Studies\" >Background Studies<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/the-best-social-media-platform-for-real-estate\/#roomvu_Survey\" >roomvu Survey<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/the-best-social-media-platform-for-real-estate\/#roomvu_Data\" >roomvu Data:<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-background-studies\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Background_Studies\"><\/span>Background Studies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nar.realtor\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/2021-technology-survey-08-03-2021.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">NAR Technology Survey<\/a><\/strong>:<br>Facebook takes the top spot with Real Estate social network at 90%, followed by Instagram and LinkedIn.

However, we did not stop there. We went on to ask our agents directly and picked minds on the matter.

LinkedIn, Twitter, and TikTok are next with 76.9%, 44.2%, and 19.2%, respectively.

Based on our analytics of agents using the roomvu content calendar, <strong>Facebook followed by LinkedIn<\/strong> are their preference more than the other platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also interesting to note from our analytics that agents prefer using both LinkedIn and Twitter before they consider Instagram, their least preferred platform.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image.png\" alt=\"The Best Social Media Platform for Real Estate\" class=\"wp-image-17049\" width=\"385\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image.png 513w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image-300x259.png 300w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image-400x345.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 385px) 100vw, 385px\" \/><figcaption>Figure 3: Most Popular Social Network on roomvu Database<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>In addition, our analysis indicates that our roomvu subscriber agents\u2019 age bracket is 30\u201360, and possibly, most of them have not yet created an Instagram account for their business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, as Instagram continues to grow, we recommend agents create brand awareness via Instagram and TikTok.
