How to Post Your Listing on Social Media
Watch this basic tutorial on how to utilize your Social Graphics we’ve provided to spread the word of your listing.
Step-by-Step Guide
Your Social Graphics are made to post seamlessly on your Facebook and Instagram feed and story without any cropping or editing needed.
Tips: To download on your Iphone, when the link pops up after tapping the button, tap “Download” at the bottom of the page to download the zip folder. Then, tap “Open in..” and select Open in Downloads. Tap the Zip file, then open the folder. Now you have access to the images! You can post to your social media and share with your friends from there, or save them to your photo album for later.
Open your Facebook and tap the post box at the top of the News Feed. For Instagram, tap the + icon at the top of your screen which opens your photo gallery.
Tips: If your Instagram account is linked to your Facebook, you can post your listing on Instagram and automatically share it on Facebook as well. Here’s how to link your accounts if they aren’t already linked.
If you are a member of any community Facebook groups, share your listing there too.
On Facebook, open your gallery by tapping Photo/Video. On both platforms, select only one of your listing’s Social Graphics to upload, such as the “New Listing” Social Graphic. Then, tap Done.
Tips: Showcase more of your home by adding some of the professional interior photos taken. Tap multiple photos to upload them all at once.
Post the “Open House” Social Graphic the week of your open house.
