Why Most Agents Fail on Social Media
Stop Acting Like a Seller When Buyers Want a Guide
If you wanted to buy a car, where would you go for advice?
A car hobby club — where people share honest reviews and insights?
Or a car dealer — where every post says “Buy now!”?
You’d start with the club, right?
Because that’s where you learn, compare, and build confidence before deciding.
Now flip the question.
If your property page looks like a dealer’s showroom, what kind of buyers do you attract?
Only those asking:
“Still available?”
“Can it be cheaper?”
That’s not a relationship. That’s a transaction—and the cheapest price always wins.
The Same Rule Applies to Property
On social media, buyers don’t want a salesperson — they want a guide.
Someone who helps them understand the market, not just push listings.
If your content screams “For Sale!”, you’ll only get window shoppers.
But if your content educates — how to spot value, compare areas, or avoid common traps —
you become the advisor they trust before they ever buy.
Be Useful, Not Noisy
Don’t post what you want to sell.
Post what buyers want to know.
Instead of “New project launch,” try:
- “3 signs a new condo project will hold its value.”
- “What RM800K really buys you in KL today.”
- “Why do some listings stay cheap — and what does that mean for you.”
Every post should answer a question a buyer would Google.
Position Determines Perception
If you act like a dealer, you’ll be treated like one.
If you act like a strategist, you’ll be trusted like one.
Buyers follow the person who adds clarity, not noise.
Be the page they learn from — not scroll past.
The buyer who learns from you today, will buy from you tomorrow.
So, what will your next post teach them?
