Finding the time in a busy schedule to sit at a keyboard and pound out blog posts isn’t an easy task. If you’re looking for leads, however, building organic search traffic for your website is an integral part of a well-rounded lead-gen strategy.
The best way to build this traffic is by blogging and promoting the posts, consistently.
The best real estate agent blogs offer something for everyone. Yes, this includes buyers and sellers, but also those readers interested in home décor, gardening, DIY projects, and more.
Let’s go fishing for topic ideas.
Internet sources you may not have thought about
Answering common real estate consumer questions is a good place to start when making a list of blog topics. You know the basics, such as “Should I sell my home before buying another?,” “What renovations should I make before selling?” and “What credit score do I need to buy a home?”
Sure, these are common questions and, yes, they should be answered. But there are so many other topics that real estate consumers may find interesting.
The Farm, Animals I Series is shown above. To see more, Click Here.
Check out the Porchlight section at Zillow.com. They haven’t updated the section in about two years but there are so many posts there you’ll have no trouble finding evergreen stuff to help inspire you:
Interviewing Real Estate Agents: Best Questions to Ask Listing Agents
How to Reduce the Stress of Selling a Home
What Is Escrow?
How much is a down payment for a house?
You’ll find more ways to get your creative juices flowing at Redfin.com:
For instance, right now, the second-best-selling product in the Home and Kitchen category is liquid ant bait. How about a blog post for the homeowners in your CRM on how to get rid of ants?
Get hyper-local
Even real estate buyers and sellers enjoy local content. It’s also one of the best ways to build organic traffic.
If your city boasts a regional magazine, head straight to its website to mine for topic ideas. For example, Austin, Texas is home to Austin Monthly magazine. Here’s a sample of some articles that would make excellent hyper-local blog fodder:
15 Free Things to Do in Austin this April
Austin’s Top Doctors for Kids 2022
Five Essential Gardening Shops in Austin
Hyper-local blog posts, most of all, make you appear to be connected to and knowledgeable about the community you serve.
Ok, you’ve found some topic ideas. You’ve written and published your blog posts. Don’t skip the last step: push those posts out on social media, linking back to your website.

One of my agent friends, a veteran of the industry, once told me that to get agents to attend her broker opens, she would serve food. Not cookies and coffee, but actual buffet-worthy goodies. Now, this was way before serving food at these events became commonplace.
She explained that not only do agents appreciate something to munch on early in the morning but that they also LOVE anything that’s free.
If you’re among the freebie lovers in the industry, take a look at the following list of free stuff that’s perfect for real estate agents.
Thanks to the amazing Melissa Zevala’s website for information on this freebie. Hosted by Steve Dotto, these tech videos seem custom-made for the real estate agent.
A random sampling of his YouTube channel’s home page finds videos about Google Maps, Google Docs, Zoom tutorials, graphics tutorials, and more. If you’re searching for anything regarding tech, content creation, and productivity, stop by Dotto’s channel.
The Looking For Listings scheduled campaign is shown above. To see more, Click Here.
Ok, so it’s not new. It is, however, among the coolest and most useful freebies an agent can have. Virtual appointments free the busy agent from the time suck that is driving all over town to visit clients in person.
“We’ve seen clients take multiple listings a day [via Zoom], and never leave their house. That’s amazing,” says Brian Icenhower at therealestatetrainer.com. He also suggests using Zoom for client check-ins, especially listing clients.
“Simply share your screen and show your clients the numbers firsthand! This is huge for your customer service, and a huge value add for your clients.”
Zoom offers several pricing packages and the lowest price one (which is free) includes:
Hold as many meetings as you want with a 30-hour time limit per meeting (yes, the website says “30 hours”).
Group and private chat
The ability to host up to 100 participants
See the rest of what comes with the free package at zoom.us.
Created in Australia and launched in 2013, Canva is hardly a piece of new technology. And at almost 20 years of age, it’s hard to believe that most of its functionalities are free.
A graphics creation app, or as Dotto calls it, a “template-based graphics app,” Canva is ideal for creating presentations, fliers, graphs and charts, social media graphics, business cards, photo editing, and more.
If you’ve never used Canva, you’ll be happy to know that online tutorials abound. Canva, in fact, has an entire library, known as their “design school,” that you’ll find at canva.com. Need more? Head on over to YouTube.com.
Once you create a direct mail piece on Canva you can upload your design to ProspectsPLUS! to mail out. To make sure you have the correct dimensions to upload to ProspectsPLUS! check out this easy how-to.
While the above freebies are quite well-known, we’ve learned that they’re highly recommended among real estate agents. If you have never used them, check them out!
