Answer

Should a real estate agent focus on social media or email?

Both, but email is the one you own. Social finds people; email keeps them. A brokerage with a great feed and no newsletter is renting its audience.

The short version

What social is for

Reach, discovery, proof that you are active, and the first impression a recruit or seller gets. It is rented: the platform decides who sees it.

What email is for

What email is for

Repeat and referral business. A monthly issue keeps the brokerage in the inbox for the years between transactions, which is where the next listing comes from. Nobody can throttle it.

How they work together
