Now, the internet has made it possible to connect to people on the other side and get a wide range of opinions on products and services.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the world of real estate, like others, consumers are reading reviews and ratings and then comparing their options to land on who they think is best. Given social proof&#8217;s broader reach and increasing importance, it should be considered consistently in your<a href=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/successful-real-estate-marketing-ideas-2020\/\"> real estate marketing<\/a> efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we will cover the importance of social proof in real estate and how you can best utilize it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-does-social-proof-mean\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Does_Social_Proof_Mean\"><\/span>What Does Social Proof Mean?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Social proof is a psychological phenomenon in which people are affected by the actions of others to produce the correct behavior for a given situation. So, consumers tend to look at others and then copy successful patterns of behavior when considering the products and services they choose from. This force is so strong that one negative review can stop a person from purchasing a product. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"695\" height=\"518\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/11-1.jpg\" alt=\"social proof real estate\" class=\"wp-image-4769\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/11-1.jpg 695w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/11-1-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/11-1-400x298.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Consider someone walking down a street full of restaurants. Most are half empty, but there is one full to the brim. Despite a potential wait, that is the restaurant they want to go to. Why? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There must be something special about the place that drives more customers. This is the force of social proof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same thing happens in real estate. If everybody is recommending a realtor, there must be a reason. It drives the potential prospects towards that realtor as they believe certain realtors&#8217; services must be exceptional to attract so many customers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Long and short, people trust others, especially the ones they can relate to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-is-social-proof-effective-in-real-estate\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_Social_Proof_Effective_in_Real_Estate\"><\/span>Why is Social Proof Effective in Real Estate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Social proof is one of the most critical factors Millennials consider when buying products or paying for services. They trust what others say about services and products more than what the owner of the business claims. That\u2019s why the review section of the websites exists.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Realtors need to target Millennials differently as they tend to be savvy and unimpressed by traditional marketing. Their buying habits are quite different from those of previous generations. According to Drew Allen, co-owner and creative director of Peppershock Media:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;<em>Millennials can spot an ad from a mile away and will do everything they can to avoid it<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Realtors must back up their traditional marketing efforts with customer reviews and testimonials to fit better into the new customer journey and buying habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Social proof for real estate works because it connects HAPPY customers to your prospects. Due to the bombardment of marketing messages customers are exposed to, other marketing methods have been rendered less effective. User reviews and customer testimonials will help the confused prospect reach a decision.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-get-social-proof-as-a-realtor\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Get_Social_Proof_as_a_Realtor\"><\/span>How To Get Social Proof as a Realtor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many ways to get social proof online. Here are some of the proven methods to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/how-to-get-real-estate-testimonials\/\">get real estate testimonials<\/a>. But don\u2019t confine yourself to these. Use your creativity and think of more ways to reach out to your happy clients and spread the word:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-testimonials\">1. Testimonials <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the real estate world, between <a href=\"https:\/\/ixactcontact.wpengine.com\/blog\/foolproof-tips-for-real-estate-soi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">60-80%<\/a> of your leads can source from referrals, making your Sphere of Influence the pumping heart of your business. That is why you need to start amassing favorable reviews from your clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the world of real estate, social proof equals a concept agents refer to as \u201cTESTIMONIALS\u201d and clients and customers call \u201cREVIEWS.\u201d A happy client will gladly speak up for you on their social media channels, your social media channels, your website, and real estate websites. That\u2019s far more effective than self-promotion. Now, you can and should use testimonials in written form, but there are more creative and effective ways to share testimonials, which we will share and you will want to consider. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1016\" height=\"462\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/12-1.jpg\" alt=\"social proof real estate\" class=\"wp-image-4770\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/12-1.jpg 1016w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/12-1-300x136.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/12-1-768x349.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/12-1-400x182.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1016px) 100vw, 1016px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong><em>Note<\/em><\/strong><em>: keep in mind that if you use a client\u2019s testimonial or quote on your website, the client may be contacted in the future as a reference.

See if a local paper and\/ or business would give you praise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a reputable business or paper writes about you,  your credibility soars.

They also convey the client&#8217;s feelings better and create the urge for the same level of happiness in prospects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Christina McDonald, Realtor - Profile Video with Clients Testimonials\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_GoZUriNOb0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-case-studies\">3. Case Studies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can turn the testimonials into case studies and describe how you helped that client. Please start with the client\u2019s needs and the problems they were facing. Then, describe your steps to help the client and provide services that fit their needs. This will give your audience an idea of how you will handle their needs if they decide to do business with you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-your-website\">4. Your Website<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The homepage of your website is likely the most visited one. Therefore, you should put customer testimonials on the home page; this exposes them to the most views by visitors and potential clients.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1029\" height=\"271\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/20.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4762\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/20.jpg 1029w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/20-300x79.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/20-1024x270.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/20-768x202.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/20-400x105.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1029px) 100vw, 1029px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">From Meghan Chorine&#8217;s website<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>As visitors view your website, they get to know you and develop ideas about whether you fit their needs. Testimonials will provide them with the social proof they need to trust you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-email-signature\">5. Email Signature<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Including one in your email signatures is a great way to promote your positive quotes. You will send promotional and follow-up emails to your prospects and leads, including the testimonials in your signature, which will remind the recipient of your expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-social-media-cover-pages\">6. Social Media Cover Pages <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Social media channels like Facebook and YouTube provide users with wide cover pages that can be used for different purposes. One of the ways realtors can utilize these cover pages is to use positive quotes on them. This way, whenever your audience visits your channels on social media, the first thing they will see will be the positive quotes from your previous clients. That\u2019s the great first impression you are looking for as a realtor. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"783\" height=\"345\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/21.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4763\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/21.jpg 783w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/21-300x132.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/21-768x338.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/21-780x345.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/21-400x176.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 783px) 100vw, 783px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-trust-badges\">7.

This is how it goes: if \u201cyou trust X\u201d and \u201cX trusts me,\u201d then \u201cyou can trust me.\u201d For example, many businesses include the Better Business Bureau (BBB) badge to increase their reputation and provide social proof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-awards\">8. Awards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your business has won any awards, you can show them on your homepage. Like trust badges, this works toward building trust and providing social proof that other businesses and organizations validate your business. Therefore, what you claim as your achievements and accomplishments are more credible.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"829\" height=\"679\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/22.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4764\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/22.jpg 829w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/22-300x246.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/22-768x629.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/22-400x328.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 829px) 100vw, 829px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">From Maria Quattrone\u2019s website<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong><em>Note:<\/em><\/strong><em> Remember<\/em> that your audience does not care about what and who you think you are.

Social Proof Notification <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When people visit your website, they don\u2019t know how popular it is or if they are the only ones on it. If your website gets decent visitors at a given time, it makes sense to utilize notifications like: \u201cX number of people are currently looking at this property\u201d This way, you convey that you are a trusted realtor and that the visitor is not alone.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><strong><em>Note:<\/em><\/strong><em> If your website is relatively new and doesn\u2019t get much traffic.
