They offer the ability to customize ready-to-use content that’s just waiting for your personal touch to brand it accordingly. Some of my favorites include:
Coffee & Contracts is a ready-made social media content service founded by Florida-based real estate agent Haley Ingram, who recognized the struggles of fellow agents with their social media content and provides tailored, beautifully designed, and relevant social media content specifically for real estate agents and brokers. Agents can either pay a monthly fee or an annual one to receive a discount, making it a straightforward content subscription service focused on providing polished, professional templates that agents can quickly customize and post.
Modern Agent Social Club, founded by Chelsea Petersen, positions itself as a marketing membership rather than just a content membership, with the goal not to create as much content as possible but to teach members how to implement a marketing strategy that brings each piece of content to life. They mix marketing with storytelling, teach you how to become the real estate go-to girl in your market, and hand you plug-and-play content that doesn't feel templated (it feels like YOU), emphasizing personal branding, community support, and comprehensive training on how to customize content to reflect your unique personality and stand out in your market.
