The influence of online communities on real estate marketing cannot be overstated. Platforms like Facebook Groups and Reddit threads have become spaces for buyers and tenants to do preliminary market research. What once were watercooler talks have relocated digitally, creating new opportunities for marketers.

Nonetheless, the role of social listening in these communities divulges deeper insights than traditional surveys ever could. But marketers beware—community managers protect their spaces fiercely against unwelcome commercial posts. How far could you extend the boundaries of influence?
