I did some FB adverts back when "Lead Gen" ads were new.  I got many leads, but if I ran a $20 advert, I'd get 10-15 "leads".  Of those 10-15 all but 3-5 would have incorrect info or be tire kickers, only one or two would be interested in moving enough to look at the property I was advertising.  ZERO turned into clients and zero homes were sold via FB.

 

It was deemed to be more hassle than it was worth and discontinued a couple years ago.  Now, I can't see me giving them ANY money given how they've been acting of late.

Peter,

We don't have one, if we were selling wine or widgets, we would have one. Otherwise, we are not fans.  One of our clients has a closed group on FB, and that does get her a listing once in a blue moon....A

A little business, humor and personal touches for me. Most of my business is referral-based, so use other means for Top of Mind marketing.

FB advertising works with landing pages. When I did do it, I was successful. One does eventually run out of money. Sorry, no deep pockets here & there's a budget.

There was a local FB company that I followed & they were really good at teaching the ropes on it.

My goal this year is to be the most impactful with humor, bright colors, going for the attention. I think that 3 times a week is good enough but some might disagree. @nina hollander is posting everyday.

I used to get leads off Facebook abundantly, but most lacked value. I may still have about 10% of all captured on drip marketing, but I've only closed one deal to date direct from FB marketing alone in a 2 year window of effort.
