I know that Instagram is popular .. and highly-used ... by many of the young homebuying segment, Sally K. & David L. Hanson .. but darn if I can come up with HOW a Lender can utilize it within their marketing. Need to do more homework, because I can see where it could prove beneficial ...

Have one, rarely visit it, but I do the easy post to it when it's offered on sites; visible is hire-able in our social media world. It's not in my top 5 though.

1. Active Rain ( I post most here).

2. Facebook (biz page).

3. Youtube

4. Linked In

5. Vine/Pinterest tied for 5th in usage.
