Platform & Format Strategy
Best platform: Facebook (life event targeting: engaged, moved, new job). Instagram for luxury. Google for 'sell my house [city].' YouTube for market updates.. Format: Property Showcase, Brand Story (local expertise), Process Steps (buying/selling in this market), Market Update explainers.
Compliance & Legal
Fair Housing: no discrimination/targeting by race, religion, disability. MLS rules vary. NAR commission disclosure (2024 settlement).
The Core Challenge
1.5M competing agents — personal brand and local expertise are only differentiators. The agent seen as the 'weekly market update expert' wins mindshare.
What Works
Weekly 60s market updates (local authority). Just-sold celebrations. Tip series. Neighbourhood spotlights. Open house virtual previews.
Seasonal Calendar
Spring selling (March–June). Start ads in January. Fall slowdown (Oct–Nov). Winter: best for spring seller leads (less competition).
FluxNote Workflow
