The answer is actually easier than you think. The best social media content in real estate isn’t always coming from people with massive audiences.

The first time Howie Mandel told the world he had OCD, he didn’t mean to. He was on The Howard Stern Show, spiraling into a panic attack because he didn’t want to open the door.
