Anybody here use Instagram?
If so, how? Any good strategies?
Just curious... I don't think it's strictly for teenagers anymore. lol

I use my personal Instagram account to connect with other real estate professionals and learn about real estate in general. That being said, I decided against creating a separate account just for my real estate interest. I did this because by keeping it all in one place (my work, hobbies, interests, etc.), people get a feel for who I really am and can connect with me on like interested. It's a great way to attract the right people and create real connections—I've met many of my "Instagram friends" and connections in real life—be it real estate or other.
For me, I post a lot about jewelry design which is one of my hobbies, but I also share on travel and the local area where I invest. As you can see, I don't force the real estate piece, and people gravitate to me/my account because they share other interests or live near the area where I tag my posts and talk about in my IG posts/stories.
