What it’s really like to sell your home when…

Introduction

Selling a home is rarely as simple—or as fast—as people expect.

That’s why we created this carousel: to walk future sellers through what the process actually feels like. The decisions, the doubts, the waiting, the wins.

It’s not meant to capture every scenario. Instead, it offers a realistic, emotionally honest timeline to help set better expectations—especially in a market where things are taking longer and patience matters more than ever.

Just one note: you’ll want to edit Slide 7 to reflect the average days on market in your area.Use it as-is—or tweak the timeline to better fit what you’re seeing with your clients.

Step-by-Step: How to Create This Instagram Reel

1. Click the Canva Template Link (Above)

Open the Canva template we provided for this carousel.

This template includes:

  • A fully written 9-slide Instagram carousel
  • Layouts designed for storytelling and readability
  • Editable text, fonts, and colors

💡 Make sure you're logged into Canva to access editing features.

2. Customize the Design

In Canva:

  • Update the colors to match your brand
  • Swap in your fonts and logo, if you have them
  • Edit the area-specific references
    e.g., replace “[Your Area]” with your city or neighborhood
    e.g., fill in the average days on market

Optional:

  • Add emojis, if they fit your tone (🧹📅📸)
  • Tweak the text slightly to sound more like you, while keeping the story flow

3. Download the Slides for Instagram

Once your edits are complete:

  • Click “Share” → “Download”
  • Select PNG format
  • Choose All pages (Slides 1–9)
  • Save the files to your device or phone (in order)

4. Transfer to Your Phone

If you designed on desktop, airdrop or email the 9 PNGs to your phone.
Make sure they stay in the correct order (slide 1 = intro, slide 9 = CTA).

5. Post as an Instagram Carousel

  • Open the Instagram app
  • Tap the “+” icon → select Post
  • Choose multiple images (tap and hold the first one to enable selection)
  • Upload slides in the correct order (1 to 9)

6. Write Your Caption

Use a caption that matches the tone of the carousel: honest, empathetic, and encouraging. Example:

"Selling your home isn’t just a transaction—it’s a process.
Here’s what it actually feels like when you’re selling, fixing, and buying at the same time.
There’s stress, momentum, doubt—and then finally, a decision.
What surprised you most about selling your home?
If you’re thinking about making a move, send me a DM—we’ll talk through what it could look like for you."

7. Add Hashtags & Location

Hashtag ideas:

  • #SellingAHome
  • #[YourCity]Homes
  • #HomeSellingTips
  • #LifeIn[YourCity]
    Tag your city or neighborhood for extra local reach.

8. Share It

📢 You list your home, expecting strong interest—maybe even multiple offers.

But instead? Silence.

Buyers scroll past. Showings are slow. And after weeks on the market, you’re left with fewer options than you expected—lower offers, a price reduction, or relisting altogether.

This is common when a home is priced too high.

🔹 The first week is when your home gets the most attention—when buyers are searching actively and ready to make offers.
🔹 But if your price is too high? Buyers hesitate or move on to homes they see as a better deal.
🔹 The longer your home sits, the less desirable it appears, and the harder it becomes to get strong offers.

Now, there are times when pricing above market can work. Some homes have features that set them apart. But even in those cases, it takes the right approach—not just a high number and hope.

And just to be clear—even a well-priced home won’t always sell overnight. Some markets move slower than others, and that’s not a reflection of your home’s value. The key is patience, strategy, and trusting the process.

Selling soon? Let’s talk about a pricing strategy that works for your home, your market, and your goals.
