Now you have your personal brand, the challenge becomes producing social content that outperforms. Each social channel has a specific type of content that resonates with consumers. To set yourself apart in the social arena, you should adjust your content to each platform. Consider:

Instagram: Capture the attention of your audience with visual masterpieces. High-quality photos reign supreme, and images of properties, behind-the-scenes glimpses of your daily life and engaging stories that give your audience a peek into your world will perform best.

Facebook: Encourage conversation with your network. You can foster engagement and build trust on this platform by hosting live virtual open houses, neighborhood tours or question-and-answer sessions. You could also share informative articles and community events.

TikTok: Embrace the power of short-form video. Share funny anecdotes, highlight a few tips for buyers or sellers or tour community amenities. The goal is to add a touch of entertainment to your expertise.

LinkedIn: Position yourself as a thought leader in the industry, boosting your authenticity. Share insightful articles, professional achievements and success stories.

YouTube: Establish credibility by producing long-form videos. Create a visual, in-depth market analysis overview, interviews with local experts or more in-depth education.

For years, Design Concierge has been producing fully customized professional bios for real estate agents to help them build their brand, win more clients and grow their businesses. These bios provide information about the agent’s services, awards, credentials, community activities, hobbies and any other relevant points the agent would like to include. But how do you make sure the potential client actually reads this information?

Today’s consumers expect to find what they’re looking for within seconds of visiting a website or reading a brochure, so effective formatting and design are crucial. The bio should not only be well written – it should also be easily scannable, enabling viewers to focus in on content that is important to them. To meet this need, we’ve implemented improvements to our bio product with the goal of grabbing the reader’s attention, emphasizing key points and enhancing overall presentation.

‍

Headings and Bullet Points

Perhaps the most significant improvement we’ve made is the integration of headings. Clearly conveying the subject of individual paragraphs and sections allows viewers to scan and locate information instantaneously. They don’t have to read the bio from start to finish, making them less likely to click to another site or turn the page.

Headings can come in a variety of forms and are determined by each agent’s individual style and brand. For some, simple 1-3-word headings, like “Buyer Services” or “Community Involvement,” would be optimal. For others, catchy wording, such as “Targeted Marketing That Brings Results” or “Expertise in the Region’s Hottest Markets,” would be more appropriate. Question formatting is also an option, engaging readers by asking them directly, “Are You Looking for the Perfect Home?” or “Ready to Sell Your Home for Top Dollar?”

Bullet points are another formatting technique that helps the consumer quickly find information, especially when used in tandem with clear and concise headings. Bullets are a great way to highlight the agent’s industry awards, for example, and/or real estate credentials.

‍

Color, Bolding and Section Placement

If you’d like to include your bio in a Custom or Semi-Custom Personal Brochure, many exciting possibilities emerge. Subtle yet compelling design elements result in a professional-looking asset that perfectly speaks to your brand, giving potential clients confidence in your abilities while providing them easy-to-read content.

Our designers and copywriters make sure that every aspect of your brochure serves to enhance its overall presentation and scannability. Thoughtful use of color in headings draws attention while giving the piece a cohesive appearance. Bolded key words catch the reader’s eye to convey important details immediately. The brochure’s layout is also welcoming, incorporating shading and section placement to keep the audience interested.

The team at Design Concierge understands that seemingly minor elements can have a big impact. Effective headings, bullets, color, bolding and section placement all add up to an engaging marketing asset that reflects your brand, your services and your personality. It also establishes trust. If the reader can quickly find the answers to their questions, they are more apt to turn to you as they embark on their home buying or selling journey.

Creating an effective logo is a must when establishing a personal brand, and many agents turn to Design Concierge’s expert graphic designers to help them with this very important task. To deliver a final product that truly captures the agent’s personality and message, designers draw from years of creative experience and artistry while closely following the agent’s style, color and content choices.To help anyone wishing to create just the right logo, here are some helpful tips from the team.

‍

Make it personal.

Try to think of some way to make your logo unique to you and your business. Your initials, name or nickname may be a good place to start. If you want to include an image, choose one that represents your clientele and the services you deliver. It might help to think about logos you like or dislike. Also consider images associated with your target audience that they will immediately recognize.

‍

Keep it simple.

Your logo should be understood at a glance. An overly complex logo may be confusing, so you want to limit its detail. A simple yet eye-catching logo entices potential clients and contributes to an overall positive impression. Crisp, straight-forward designs are also easier for your target audience to remember, which is important for growing your business through brand recognition. You also want to avoid trends that will look dated in a few years.

‍

Use color.

Using only blacks, whites and grays can cause your logo to blend into the background, but you don’t want to choose a color scheme that clashes or causes a negative reaction. Remember that certain colors evoke certain emotions and choose carefully. To help with this step, Design Concierge provides agents with a variety of choices and color combinations that get a positive reaction from potential clients.

‍

Avoid long taglines.

Always keep size in mind when deciding whether or not to include a tagline. Think about the marketing pieces you will use it on. A tagline longer than three words may appear too small, for example, on a farming postcard. Also consider that more and more people are growing their brand through social media. A logo with a lengthy message would be hard to read on a smart phone, which is how growing numbers of consumers get their information today.

‍

Choose your font carefully.

‍Many people think the logo’s font isn’t too important, but it serves to further convey personality and general attitude. It should be compatible with the image, colors and message. If you’d like to make a bold impression, use a strong font. If you want to seem friendly and easy going, choose a font with lots of curves. Whatever type you choose, remember that it is as important as the image and color scheme.

Creating a personal logo is more complicated that it seems. That’s why many agents turn to Design Concierge’s skilled designers for help. Not only do they create a logo that captures the agent’s vision, personality and professional focus, they are also experts at aligning, spacing and sizing its various elements to get the perfect result! At Design Concierge, we build your brand, or in this case logo. You make it your own.

Savvy real estate agents know that a powerful personal logo is critical to establishing credibility and attracting clients, since it’s often the first touchpoint in their marketing. It’s the personal branding equivalent of shouting their name from the rooftops – so ensuring the design is timeless, imaginative and unique is paramount.

If there’s anyone who knows the importance of having a strong real estate brand and a great logo, it’s the team at Design Concierge. Creating a unique logo from scratch is one of our specialties – but so is transforming an older emblem into a brand new logo that’s refreshing and versatile. Thousands of agents have trusted our team with transforming their outdated logos into new masterpieces.

For each and every product Design Concierge offers, our goal is to always bring an agent’s unique qualities to life, and a logo is no exception.But what does a logo makeover entail, exactly? To get some insight into the process, I spoke with Design Concierge Senior Designer Sara Hoover.

‍

What kind of research do you typically conduct before starting on a logo redesign?

When designing or refreshing a logo, I take a look at the current logo to identify what is and isn't working. It’s important for me to understand the target audience, messaging, competitors and brand positioning to develop a variety of creative concepts while adhering to essential design principles like balance, contrast and repetition.

‍

What key elements do you typically focus on in logo transformations?

I prioritize adaptability and versatility, making sure the logo works seamlessly across several platforms. This involves using vector art, easy-to-read fonts and imagery that look great at any size. I also focus on the agent’s chosen colors and brand keywords to really make it pop.

‍

How do you ensure that the real estate logos you design are unique and stand out from the competition?

Designing a logo that stands out from the competition can be a challenging process. I explore various design techniques, such as custom typography, bold color palettes and negative space, and work closely with clients to ensure the final design is perfect.

‍

How do you stay up to date with current design trends in the real estate industry?

To keep up with the latest design trends, I look for inspiration in a variety of places, like Instagram and Pinterest. I love signage, especially neon signs, and I love watching movie intros and studying the various fonts and animation. I’m always experimenting with new ideas to incorporate the latest trends while also adding a unique touch to my work.

Transforming a real estate logo from dated to dazzling takes collaboration, research and a keen understanding of an agent’s vision and values. If you’re ready to give your logo a well-deserved makeover, head over to the Design Concierge portfolio site where you see design ideas, gain inspiration and place an order.
