Hey there, this is Hannah and I’m the Community Manager at The Close. Lately, I’ve been thinking about how our community of agents can get creative so you can connect virtually with each other and with your past, present, and future clients. 

Now is also the perfect time to build your social media presence. Connect with your audience virtually so you stay fresh in their minds when they are ready to buy or sell their next home. 

To help you out, we created a 30-day Social Media Challenge.

Here’s how to participate:

For the next 30 days, you’ll be tasked to share a post on your Instagram and/or Facebook. Get creative, use pictures, and include a few sentences describing your post. This will help you be known by your community before you are even needed! 

Use the hashtag #TheCloseContentChallenge to get some inspiration from other agents taking the challenge  Let’s get you started with these 30 fun ways to connect with your community.

And be sure to join our Facebook Group and follow us on Instagram as we will also be participating in this challenge!
