What Marketplace Doesn’t Do
Marketplace does not facilitate monetary transactions. Sorry, Paypal. When a user is interested in the item you’ve listed, they message you directly. You then work out the details of payment privately. In the case of real estate sales, agents have the ability to schedule showings directly via messenger.
At present, Facebook’s Marketplace does not allow product reviews or recommendations, so it’s impossible for a viewer to compare your product or service to others, or post praise for your excellent service.
Competing with the Big Boys
Although Facebook’s new Marketplace is being compared to Craig’s List and E-bay, the experience of Marketplace is more personal. Viewers have the option to visit your Facebook profile to learn more about you, and your business, and build trust. With the inquiries being filtered through Facebook’s messenger app, users also have the ability to communicate in real time.
Summing it Up
Facebook has made it easier for agents to generate real estate leads online through the social network powerhouse. With no fees, simple posting of pictures with property descriptions and links, sorting by price and location, and listing your properties is easy peasy. Marketplace’s messenger integration allows you to communicate with leads in real time. In short, there’s nothing to lose and everything to gain. Facebook for real estate just got better.
