Instagram is a mobile force to be reckoned with. With 400 million users, it’s larger than Twitter, and advertisers report that ads on the service outperform those on other platforms.
But beyond the photo filters, Instagram can also be a new way to generate business. Real estate professionals like Anne Jones, Joyce Rey and Dusty Baker all make Instagram a core part of their branding and marketing efforts. Companies like Windermere and Houlihan Lawrence have turned the service into a powerful new way to promote their listings. And accounts like Haute Residence have built large audiences around their tempting listing photos.

Season 5 filming…. wearing a green corduroy suit by Prada. Told the driver to stop here, sitting on my SUV, trying to dent the hood with this very moment, taking it all in… everything has changed, yet I’m the same. The smell of Fall, the trees turning, the seasons changing… Are you with me? If you are, thank you for believing in me and coming along on this journey. ? #DoingMe A photo posted by Fredrik Eklund (@fredrikeklundny) on
