Instagram is the platform most realtors know. But the platform most of them are ignoring — TikTok — might be the single most powerful tool available right now for reaching people who've never heard of you. That's a structural feature of how TikTok works, not just a trend.
In Part 2 of AI Decoded's series on social media for real estate agents, we cover the platforms that most agents underestimate — and how to be present on multiple channels without creating entirely separate content for each one:
- TikTok: why its algorithm reaches strangers by design, what content earns completion and shares, and how the hook determines everything
- YouTube: the only social platform where content doesn't expire — and why that changes the math entirely
- LinkedIn, Facebook, and Nextdoor: who they're for and when they become worth your time
- The two-platform rule and Claude's role in adapting one core idea across all of them
