Some businesses still don’t use social media & I find that interesting

Hi! I run a small studio and we offer full social media management for $79/month.

Something I’ve noticed, a lot of people who reach out to us either don’t have any social media presence yet, or they only start thinking about it when we talk. And it’s not just the usual niches, even SaaS, tech, or more traditional service-based businesses sometimes don’t bother with socials at all.

Some people think social media only makes sense if your business is product-based or in a “visual” niche like beauty, food, or fashion. Others feel like it doesn’t apply to them, or that it wouldn’t help much for what they offer.

But honestly, from what we’ve seen, almost every type of business benefits from having some kind of online presence, even traditional fields like accounting firms, clinics, real estate agents, repair services, local cafés, coaches, small shops, etc.

For me, having some kind of social presence generally helps because most people check online before they reach out to a business. It doesn’t need to be active or highly produced. Just having a page that shows what you do, where you are, and how to contact you already makes a difference. I’ve seen people choose a business simply because they were able to look them up easily (I’m guilty of that too), and I’ve also seen people hesitate when they can’t find anything at all.

That’s simply how I’ve observed it over time.

That's why I’m curious how business owners here see it, especially those who don’t have socials yet, or are planning to but haven’t started.

Do you feel like it matters for your business? Or is it just not a priority right now?

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...

Pool fill without engineer oversight

We are in the process of purchasing our first ever home in CA and we just discovered in the disclosures that the new build property we are purchasing previously had a swimming pool which was filled without an engineer onsite to approve the work (details from disclosure below). Is this something we should be concerned with or not? Is it something we should have additional inspections conducted on? We are originally from the UK and not really sure what to do with this information and if it is concerning or not. A POOL DID EXIST PREVIOUSLY. COPING, TILE, GUNNITE AND REBAR WERE ALL REMOVED AND DIRT AND CLEAN DRAIN ROCK WERE USED TO FILL IT IN. COMPACTED FILL WAS NOT USED AND NO ENGINEER APPROVED THE DIRT AND DRAIN ROCK FILL IN submitted by /u/tommot82 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/dpyzw8/pool_fill_without_engineer_oversight/

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
