IG Poll: A deal that’s hard to find in [City]

You already know the power of Deal of the Week. This version is built for Stories.

We start with the hook, then layer in the details, then highlight the features that make this one stand out. Only after the curiosity builds do you invite them to raise their hand. In recent tests, that structure alone delivered 6x more engagement.

The hook itself? We pulled it from one of the 1,200 top‑performing Instagram posts we track at Listing Leads, and built the rest so you can execute fast.

Not sure which listing to feature?

Start here:

  • Filter for new listings (within the last 7 days)
  • Focus on your target price point
  • Stay in your ideal neighborhood or farm area

That should give you a pool of 50–70 listings.

From there, zero in on the one with the highest saves or views—that’s the listing with heat behind it.

Use this format to test urgency, stay visible with buyers, and stay top of mind.

IG Poll: Stuck?

The data says it all: many buyers aren’t stuck because they’ve lost interest—they’re stuck because they’re not sure what to do next.

Cotality’s latest research found that only 7% described the buying process as straightforward. The rest hit moments of doubt, kept questions to themselves, and moved forward without full clarity. Sometimes they didn’t know who to ask. Sometimes they felt they should already know.

That’s why this poll works. It gives buyers a low‑pressure way to say, “Yep, I’m unsure.” And once they do, you have an open door to guide them—turning uncertainty into momentum, and curiosity into conversations.

How to avoid buyer’s remorse

The housing market runs on speed. But buyers? They run on timing.

That’s the gap we uncovered digging into Cotality’s latest research on “Who (really) owns the homebuyer?” The process is faster than ever: instant alerts, same‑day offers, mounting competition, but most buyers say they still feel overwhelmed. Readiness hasn’t caught up with market velocity.

And here’s the problem: most agents respond by pushing harder. More urgency. More “act now.” That may get an offer written, but it doesn’t build trust.

This campaign flips that script. It positions you as the agent who slows the process down just enough for buyers to feel informed, prepared, and confident. That’s how you stand apart—and how you turn first‑time conversations into long‑term clients.

A deal that’s hard to find in [City]

The Deal of the Week strategy isn’t a nice‑to‑have, it’s a weekly marketing habit worth locking into your SOPs. Simple. Repeatable. Highly effective.

This style of email has helped generate thousands of conversations within our community. Why? Because it’s built to get a response. It sparks curiosity, creates urgency, and makes it easy for people to raise their hand.

But the real win? This email is just the starting point. Repurpose it into an Instagram poll. Turn it into a quick SOI text. Now you’re taking one proven campaign and multiplying its reach, its impressions, and its opportunities.

This and…

“This and…” works because it pulls people straight into a dreamstate. Two words are all it takes for them to picture a life they want: morning coffee in the sunroom, golden‑hour dinners on the deck, a run through the park. It’s not about selling a feature; it’s about letting them feel it.

That’s why this viral hook stops the scroll. It’s simple, fast, and ridiculously flexible, perfect for highlighting a listing, showcasing a neighborhood, or sharing a lifestyle moment. Below, you’ll find a list of ready‑made hooks to spark ideas, or use them as inspiration to create your own. Pair one with a short clip or photo, and you’re inviting people into a feeling they’ll want to step into.

Expired Marketing Video Script

A marketing message that speaks directly to a specific type of seller is far more powerful than a generic one. 

This script is designed for homeowners struggling to get their home sold—sellers who are frustrated, uncertain, and looking for real answers. 

By addressing their pain points head-on, you position yourself as the agent who knows how to get a home sold. 

Inspired by Tyler Drinkwater’s excellent Reel, this script calls out the biggest reason listings fail—poor positioning—and provides a clear path forward. 

Pair this with the Expired Marketing Blueprint to strengthen your strategy and establish yourself as the go-to expert.

Just Sold Carousel

A Just Sold carousel is a real estate marketing staple—and for good reason. It’s a compelling way to showcase real results, build trust, and plant the seed for future sellers. 

Originally inspired by Katie Lucie’s direct mail letter, this carousel repurposes that proven format for Instagram, making it easy to share your next impressive sale.

The hook? A striking price difference between an online estimate and the final sale. It keeps people swiping, reinforces the value of strategic marketing, and ends with a clear call to action.

POV: You Finally Find A Home You Love...

POV hooks are powerful—and for good reason. They pull your audience in by speaking directly to their experience. That’s exactly what this campaign does: it gives you a chance to educate your followers about your off-market strategy while showing them how you uncover hidden opportunities.

Plus it’s incredibly simple to execute. No script, no voiceover—just b-roll from your camera roll (a neighborhood like in this example, a listing interior like in this example, even a front door like in this example). Overlay with text, and let the caption do the heavy lifting. It doesn’t need to be super polished, the priority here is a clear message.

The source of this data point mentioned in the description is from BatchService and surfaced by Lance Lambert, co-founder of ResiClub:

According to an analysis by BatchService, approximately 1.2 million U.S. home sales in 2024 were conducted off-market. Given that the National Association of Realtors reported about 5 million existing-home sales in 2024, this suggests that roughly 24% of home sales occurred off-market.

This campaign isn’t just a Reel. It’s a chance to build trust, share your expertise, and position yourself as the agent who goes beyond what’s expected. Keep it real, keep it relatable—and don’t forget to end with a call to action that gets them to raise their hand.

[City 1] vs [City 2] | Which Market Is Better for Buyers & Sellers in 2025?

Side-by-side market comparisons are one of the easiest ways to create high-impact video content—and most agents overlook them.

This script isn’t just about [City 1] vs. [City 2]. It’s about helping your audience think like a buyer or seller in 2025.

When you contrast two markets:
– You simplify complex data
– You position yourself as the local expert
– You give buyers and sellers a decision-making framework

Even better? You don’t have to claim one market is “better.” You just have to show them how to choose based on their goals.

Use this script to lead with insight, build trust, and stay top of mind—because clarity is the new clickbait.

Just Sold IG Poll

Yes, your followers could look this up on Zillow. But they won’t—and they don’t want to.

That’s what makes this Instagram poll (inspired by Pip Haxby-Thompson) so effective. It’s simple: show one home that just sold for under [$] in a popular neighborhood, then ask, “Wanna see the other two?” with two easy responses:
→ Obviously
→ Yes please!

It’s low-effort for them, high-leverage for you. You create curiosity. They raise their hand. And just like that, you have a reason to DM, share a link, and start a real conversation.

Pro tip: Set up a landing page with a zoomed-in map showing the properties. It makes the whole thing feel exclusive—and positions you as the local expert who knows what’s selling, where, and for how much.

What do you think is missing in [Area]?

This simple Story question—used by Bill Olson to spark hundreds of replies—is a smart way to create two-way connection. It’s not just engagement for the sake of it. It’s data, dialogue, and content fuel all in one. Use it to:

• Surface what people actually care about in your area
• Kick off conversations that don’t feel salesy
• Crowdsource ideas for carousels, captions, or videos

Pro tip: Save the best answers and turn them into a shareable follow-up post like this one that garnered 452 comments (and counting).

8 HUGE Changes Coming to [Your City] in 2025

This script was inspired by Olga Moreno’s “8 HUGE Changes Coming to Las Vegas in 2025!!” video—which pulled in over 18,000 views. Not because she went viral. But because she nailed what so many agents miss: people want the big picture.

This isn’t a market update. It’s a narrative.

It gives context to all the local change your audience is seeing—but not fully understanding. It answers the question behind the question: What’s happening in this city, and what does it mean for me?

Here’s how to make it work:

  • Start strong—mention the city, the year, and why this matters now.
    Use stats or headlines sparingly—this is about momentum, not overload.
  • Think like a tour guide. You’re not just selling homes—you’re showing them what’s coming.

And remember: people don’t just want listings. They want to follow someone who’s plugged in, paying attention, and thinking ahead. This video positions you as exactly that.

Underrated Neighborhoods

Not every post needs to be a pitch. In fact, some of the most powerful content doesn’t sell—it connects.

This Story is about starting light, local conversations that build trust over time. You’re not pushing a property. You’re inviting people into your perspective—sharing the neighborhoods you love, and asking them to weigh in.

Here’s why it works:

  • It feels casual, not calculated.
  • It taps into local pride and curiosity.
  • It gives followers an easy reason to reply—without feeling like they’re walking into a sales convo.

Think of this as your “talk of the town” moment. Personal, relatable, and perfectly positioned to keep you top of mind.
