This Reel flips the narrative—and that’s exactly why it works.
Most buyers have a surface-level impression of your area: traffic, sprawl, or sky-high prices. But that’s not the whole story.
Inspired by Marie Lee’s viral Instagram Reel, this format is a smart way to shift perception in 7 seconds or less.
Here’s why it works:
- It creates contrast—what people think vs. what’s true.
- It uses humor and visual storytelling to reframe objections.
- It builds local pride while educating your audience.
A few example angles you could use:
- “When I say I live in East Nashville, they think I mean Broadway crowds… but I really mean tree-lined streets and neighbors who bring you sourdough.”
- “When I say I’m in Miami, they picture traffic on I-95… but I’m really biking to a quiet café two blocks from the bay.”
- “When I say I live in Jersey City, people think it’s just high-rises and PATH trains… but I really mean farmers markets and parks with skyline views.”
- “When I say I live in Scottsdale, they think I mean golf courses and gated communities… but I really mean trails, tacos, and sunset hikes after work.”
Use this Reel to reclaim the narrative—and connect with buyers who want what you see every day.
