We Don’t Just List Properties. We Position Them

Welcome to Mount Macedon Realty Digital Marketing

Helping your property reach more of the right buyers.

We Don’t Just List Properties. We Help People Discover a Different Way of Living.

One thing we’ve learnt through experience is that many prestige buyers in the Macedon Ranges are not upgrading locally.


They’re often Melbourne families and professionals looking for more space, privacy, nature, and a better lifestyle for their family.


The challenge is that many of these buyers are not actively searching in the Macedon Ranges yet.


Traditional real estate marketing works well once a buyer already knows they want to live here.

Digital marketing helps introduce them to the idea in the first place.


That difference matters.


Because often the right buyer for a Macedon Ranges property isn’t sitting on realestate.com.au waiting for an alert. They’re still deciding what kind of life they want next.


That’s where our approach is different.


Together with Shona from socialface, we'll position your property in front of Melbourne and relocation buyers earlier, helping build aspiration and familiarity with both your home and the lifestyle before they are actively searching on realestate.com or Domain.

Why This Matters To Us

We're  not just marketing property in the Macedon Ranges - We live here too.


Like many buyers moving to the area, Shona's family made the decision to leave the hustle of London and Sydney behind for more space, nature, and a better day-to-day lifestyle.  They chose to live in Mount Macedon because of the proximity to Melbourne and the Airport. Shona understands what people consider before choosing to relocate.


That lived experience matters.


Because selling property here is rarely just about the house. It’s about helping buyers picture a different way of living.

What this means for your property

Alongside the traditional real estate marketing, we use additional targeted digital marketing across Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube to place your property in front of your potential buyer earlier, to show them why the Macedon Ranges may be the perfect next chapter for them.


Most buyers need to see a property multiple times before they enquire or inspect. Understanding buyer psychology tells us that.


By consistently positioning your property across multiple platforms, we build familiarity early, helping drive stronger enquiry, inspections, and buyer competition.

Why This Works

  • Reaches buyers beyond the portals
  • Builds familiarity before buyers are actively searching
  • Increases enquiry and inspections
  • Supports stronger competition and negotiation

How We Position Your Property Differently

Most properties are marketed through a standard process.


They are listed on the major portals, supported by signage, and introduced to an existing database.


While effective, this approach primarily reaches buyers who are already actively searching.


At Mount Macedon Realty, we take this further.


Lisa recommends a structured digital campaign to ensure your property is also seen by buyers who are not yet actively looking, particularly Melbourne-based buyers considering a move to the Macedon Ranges.


This additional layer helps create momentum and brings new buyers into the enquiry pool.


How we work as a team


Lisa focuses on buyer relationships, inspections, and negotiation.

Kelly works on operations and campaign logistics

Shona leads digital strategy and campaign execution.


This structure allows each part of the campaign to be handled with focus and intent with each of us playing to our strengths with no distraction.


This means your property is both marketed properly and sold properly.


Proven reach


Since partnering in June 2025, our campaigns have generated over 4.5 million views across Facebook, Instagram and Youtube.


This reach extends well beyond our existing audience and into Melbourne and relocation buyers. Driving those additional views to our clients property listings. You will find some case studies below that share the details of some previous campaigns.


This visibility is structured and targeted, not accidental.


Campaign capacity


To ensure focus and consistent visibility, we limit monthly campaigns to:

  • 1 Signature Campaign
  • 4 Curated Campaigns 


We prioritise quality over volume.


Choose Your Level of Positioning


The question is not whether to market.

It is how assertively you intend to position your home.

Vendor Experience

“A Seamless and Outstanding Experience

Working with Shona Mackin from Socialface to market and sell our family home, “Sapphire”, was one of the best decisions we made.

From day one, Shona demonstrated incredible professionalism, creativity and expertise. The marketing strategy she crafted was not only visually stunning but also perfectly targeted — highlighting our property’s best features and reaching the right buyers.

Thanks to Shona’s mastery in marketing, our home sold quickly and at a great price.

I can’t recommend Shona highly enough to anyone looking to sell their home with confidence and ease."

— Andrea Mizzi

This is not about spending more on marketing.

It is about creating the conditions that lead to stronger buyer competition and working smart to get you the best possible results.

People don't enquire when they see your property once. They enquire when they see it multiple times.

ANDREA - HOME OWNER

The Decision

There is always a place for “list and wait.”


For some properties, that approach works.

Our preference is to be more deliberate.


Selling well isn’t just about being on the market - it’s about how strategically you’re positioned once you’re there.


Lifestyle Prestige Property Marketing is for vendors who understand that visibility influences leverage. When the right buyers see your property repeatedly and with intent, confidence builds - and that strengthens negotiation.


We limit capacity to protect focus and campaign quality.


If you’re preparing to sell, let’s align positioning early so momentum is working for you from day one.

A huge thankyou for all your hard work in advertising our home, I am sure that without your excellent assistance we would not have been able to attract the current purchasers - so we are eternally grateful to you and your wonderful work !

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at shona@socialface.com.au if you cannot find an answer to your question.

They play an important role and capture buyers who are already actively searching.


However, many of the right buyers, particularly those relocating from Melbourne, are not yet searching in a specific area.


Our digital campaign ensures your property is also seen by these buyers earlier in their decision-making process.


Most buyers need to see a property multiple times before they enquire or inspect.


They move through a process of:
awareness → familiarity → confidence.


Digital campaigns allow us to control that process.


By placing your property in front of the right buyers repeatedly, we build recognition and reinforce its value.


When the buyer is ready to act, your home already feels familiar.


That familiarity is often what drives enquiry and inspection.


No. Standard marketing covers portal listings and organic agency posts. Lifestyle Prestige Positioning expands reach and strengthens competitive positioning.


Yes.

According to the 2024 report from the National Association of Realtors:

“79% of home buyers use social media in their home search - and over half say Facebook and Instagram are the most useful platforms.”

For many Melbourne-based buyers, social platforms are part of the research phase, often before inspection.


Strategic digital positioning ensures your property is visible during that decision window.


Most agents rely on portal listings, signage, and their database.


We do that as well.


The difference is we run structured digital campaigns designed to reach buyers before they are actively searching, not just after.


This expands your buyer pool, increases visibility, and creates more opportunities for enquiry and competition.


Primarily Melbourne-based professionals, families, and buyers seeking a lifestyle change.


These are often buyers looking for space, privacy, and a different pace, but who may not yet have identified Mount Macedon as their destination.


Every campaign begins with identifying the most likely buyer for your property.


We then use audience targeting to ensure your marketing is shown to people who match that profile, rather than a broad, untailored audience.


No.


This sits alongside your realestate.com.au and Domain listing, strengthening the overall campaign by expanding reach and supporting buyer engagement.


Campaigns run across Facebook and Instagram via Meta, with asset distribution to YouTube to extend visibility and search presence if video is supplied.


Campaigns are designed to build momentum over time.


In most cases, we see increased visibility and enquiry within the first few weeks as the property gains familiarity with the right audience.


No. Campaigns use structured Meta advertising, audience segmentation, controlled frequency and retargeting. It is planned digital strategy - not ad-hoc promotion.


Mount Macedon Realty is intentionally boutique and focused on negotiation and buyer relationships. Socialface operates as the dedicated digital strategy partner, allowing clear division of expertise and stronger campaign execution.


Sadly strategy can not guarantee sales  timing or price.


However, stronger visibility leads to more enquiry.

More enquiry strengthens competition.
And competition improves negotiation outcomes.


As Lisa often says, property results are influenced by:


Price. Position. Presentation.


This approach strengthens positioning.


No. Capacity is limited and campaign level is determined strategically. Lifestyle Prestige Private requires professional high-quality video assets to maximise impact.


No. Socialface is a digital strategy partner, not a photography or production company.


Lifestyle Prestige Positioning works with the professional assets prepared for your campaign - including photography and video commissioned through Mount Macedon Realty.


Where appropriate, I may provide guidance early in the process to ensure the visual assets align with digital strategy and maximise impact across Meta and YouTube.


The focus is strategic positioning and distribution - ensuring your property is seen repeatedly and deliberately by the right audience.


Ideally before campaign launch. Early positioning establishes momentum that cannot be recreated mid-campaign.


Not all agencies operate with a dedicated digital strategy partner.


This approach requires structured planning, ongoing campaign management, and a clear understanding of buyer behaviour beyond the portals.


Many agents focus on listings and negotiation.


We’ve separated those roles, so each part of the campaign is handled with focus and expertise.


This ensures your property is both seen properly and sold properly, without compromise.
