Why Everyone Talks About Facebook Ads
Facebook Ads offer access to a wide audience while letting you target who you’re paying to connect with. This allows you to create branded marketing personalized to their needs.
Do you want to sell homes in a farm area?
Create Facebook Ads targeted to people living in that area, who have behaviors in line with farming, and behaviors that indicate they’re looking for a home. You can then tailor your copy to speak to their needs.
This is how realtors establish themselves as neighborhood experts using smart Facebook Ads.
While there are many social media platforms out there, Facebook Ads Manager is one of the more advanced tools around. On top of that, you can count on your audience being there. In Q3 of 2020, Facebook reported 1.82 billion daily active users.

Creating A Facebook Ad for Real Estate Marketing
Once you’re in Facebook Ads Manager, click on the green “Create” button on the upper left side of the page.
You’ll first need to select your campaign objective. Every campaign you create should have a clear goal. Do you want to drive traffic to your website or landing page? Do you want to get views to build brand awareness and establish yourself as a neighborhood expert, or do you want to generate leads with this campaign and grow your database?

You’ll name your campaign and then have the opportunity to optimize your ads through audience targeting and placement.
For audience targeting, choose to create a new target audience or use a saved one. To create a custom audience, you can choose to use your Facebook Pixel. Or, you can make decisions to narrow by demographics, behaviors, and more. Facebook shows your daily reach. You can optimize your target audience based on whether the meter seems too large or too small.
