With all the hype surrounding the popular iPhone and Android picture app Instagram, we have contemplated what this awesome application can do for real estate. To understand more thoroughly the importance of Instagram, we will begin by investigating the initial uses of Instagram and how it can benefit the real estate market.

For starters, let's explain what Instagram is before we get too ahead of ourselves. In a recent article by Rebecca Babicz of Seo.com, Babicz states, "Instagram is a SmartPhone application that allows users to snap photos, edit them using various artistic filters, and upload them to Instagram's mobile platform. Users can then share photos on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Tumblr, Posterous and Foursquare." With that stated, not only can you upload and edit your own pictures on your cellular device, you can also upload the pictures to other photo sharing apps, making the entire process simple and accessible virtually anywhere. No more uploading to a computer and then having to sit down and fix pictures one by one, now you can just use your phone.

You are probably wondering how this could benefit your business, that is where we come in. You see Instagram acts as a photo sharing device, not only is it a picture app, but these photos are very pleasing to the eye, check out the pictures below and see for yourself!

The Instagram application uses filters that are very pleasing to the eye, and since we are all more stimulated by visual images, what better way to promote your product, than with a gorgeous picture of it!
