Design envy is a real thing, but fear not, because today I am going to introduce you to a game-changing tool that will help you say goodbye to design envy once and for all.

Introducing Canva - Design Made Easy (for Real Estate Agents!!)

If you haven't heard of Canva, let me give you a brief overview. Canva is a web-based design software that allows you to create impressive real estate marketing materials without any technical graphic design experience. Yes, you read that right. With Canva, all you need is a keyboard and mouse to create stunning designs.

Gone are the days when you needed Photoshop, Illustrator, and a variety of stock photo sites. Canva has made design accessible to everyone, including real estate agents like you. Whether you want to create listing presentations, social media graphics, or even edit videos, Canva has got you covered.

One of the best things about Canva is that it provides pre-designed templates specifically for Realtors®. You can choose from a wide range of templates or start from scratch. Canva even offers the appropriate file sizes for your project, so you don't have to worry about dimensions.

Even expert designers, like Alex Wells, Founder and Lead Designer of Uptake Creative, find themselves using Canva for their clients. According to Alex, "Whatever you’re creating, Canva makes it easy and, dare I say, fun." That's a pretty strong endorsement from a professional designer.

Now you might be wondering if Canva has real estate-specific templates. The answer is a resounding yes! Canva has a wide variety of real estate templates for brochures, business cards, flyers, newsletters, postcards, social media graphics, videos, yard signs, and more.

But it doesn't stop there. Canva also offers a range of other templates that real estate agents would find useful. Want to showcase market statistics? Use an infographic template. Need a cover photo for your Facebook page? Canva has a Facebook Cover template. The possibilities are endless!

Design Tips When Using Canva (or any design tool!)

We understand that you didn't become a real estate agent to become a graphic designer. However, creating visually appealing content is crucial for your marketing efforts. So, here are some design tips to keep in mind when using Canva or any other design tool:

  • Limit the number of fonts you use. Stick to 1 or 2 fonts per design to maintain a clean and professional look.
  • White space is essential. Give your design room to breathe by avoiding cluttered layouts.
  • Use a limited color scheme. Choose colors that contrast and complement each other while considering your brand's color scheme.
  • Contrast is key. Make sure your colors stand out against each other to ensure readability.
  • Keep it simple. Less is more when it comes to design. Focus on impactful content and avoid overcrowding your design.
  • Imitate but don't copy. Draw inspiration from other designs but put your own creative spin on things.
  • Align images to a grid. Keep your design organized and professional by aligning images in a grid or table.

Free or Pro - Which Version Do I Need?

The good news is that Canva is free to use, and the free version offers more than enough to keep your real estate business looking great. However, there is a pro version available for those who want access to additional features.

The pro version of Canva offers over 300,000 free templates, a brand kit to maintain consistency, the ability to upload your own fonts, the option to create your own templates, and access to a vast library of stock photos, videos, graphics, and more. It also provides 100GB of cloud storage for your uploads and files.

While the pro features add value, they may not be necessary for most real estate agents, especially when starting out with Canva. As long as you're comfortable with Canva's default fonts, can manually apply your brand style to designs, and find what you need from the free templates, a free account will serve you well.
