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.

After analyzing thousands of real estate creators, we’ve noticed a trend: the highest-engagement polls are often the most casual. They feel like a text from a friend, not a marketing post. That’s exactly what this story is designed to do.

Starting with “Debated not posting this…” immediately disarms your audience. It signals vulnerability and curiosity—two powerful triggers that drive replies, votes, and DMs. Pair that with a low-maintenance design and a simple poll format, and you’ve got a high-impact story that feels spontaneous but is strategically built for engagement.

Use this poll to re-engage buyers who may be silently struggling or considering stepping out of the market. It opens the door to honest conversations—and gives you a soft way to reintroduce helpful guidance.

This is the kind of content buyers actually save.

It answers a question they’re already thinking about—“Can I make a low offer?”—and gives them a smart, helpful framework for when and how that works.

The beauty of this Reel? You don’t even need to be on camera.
The caption does the heavy lifting, walking through timing, terms, and tone—while the Reel itself can be as simple as a text-based hook or B-roll with overlay.

We know listings are sitting on the market longer right now, so we thought this might be a good moment to meet the market with a message like this. It’s timely, relevant—and likely to resonate.

Not every lead gen post needs to be a market update or a polished Reel.

Sometimes, the best engagement comes from a simple question that gets people talking.

This one came from Jeremy Knight—he posted it to his Facebook page and the comments took off. It’s bold enough to spark reactions, but casual enough to feel like a real conversation starter:

“A client just asked me what [Area]’s most overrated neighborhood is. 😳
I think I know the answer…what do you think?”

It’s light, local, and designed to stir the pot just enough.

Post it on your page. Better yet—drop it in your community Facebook group.You’ll learn what people really think—and keep yourself front and center in the process.

The Magic Buyer Letter can be repurposed into videos, emails, and social posts.

This campaign is simple, specific, and wildly effective.

Justin Holder just double-ended a 1.5M deal and generates consistent business from a simple strategy.

Here’s what you need:

1. You need a buyer who’s looking for a house.
2. You need to take your qualified buyers who can’t find a home and turn it into a marketing campaign.

Use this post to turn private buyer needs into public seller conversations.

Sometimes the simplest polls spark the best convos.

We saw a version of this in a supplement ad—quick, scroll-stopping, and surprisingly effective. So we adapted it for real estate.

It’s a low-friction way to nudge your audience into thinking about their home’s value without asking for anything upfront. Just curiosity, reflection, and a little reminder that you're the go-to when they're ready to dig deeper.

Price drops are happening for a reason.
Some homes were overpriced. Some sellers misread the market.

But for buyers? That shift creates opportunity.

This Instagram Story leans into what’s actually happening—without sugarcoating it. It gives buyers a reason to engage, and gives you a simple way to start real conversations based on real-time changes in the market.

Here’s the post—just plug in the neighborhood:

“This is 1 of 4 homes that just had a price drop…
…in one of the hottest neighborhoods in [City Name].
Should I send you the other 3?? They're all priced below recent comps.”

→ Yes, I’m curious → Show me the deals

As you know, we’re always testing. One of the big zen learnings we’ve had recently was using multiple stories to drive up conversion. In fact a recent story I posted got 6x more engagement when I used the poll at the END, not the beginning of the story.

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.

We hear it all the time from top agents: "The marketing was so good, my sellers joked they didn’t want to move anymore."

That insight sparked this post.

We turned it into a carousel with a hook that sellers (and future clients) can’t ignore:

“Every seller we work with has second thoughts right before we list.”

Because this is your moment to show the sweat—to spotlight the prep, the polish, the vision-building that happens before a home ever hits the market.

This carousel helps you:

• Show off your behind-the-scenes process
  
• Explain why marketing matters
  
• Make a confident call to action to DM when it’s time to sell

Smart. Emotional. Sharable.That’s the kind of marketing that sells homes and builds your brand.

Most buyers think a “deal” means the lowest price.

But real value? It’s more nuanced.

This carousel is designed to educate your audience.
To train their eye.
To help them understand what makes a home undervalued—even if it doesn’t look like a steal on paper.

From location perks to price gaps to hidden upside, you’re not just posting listings—you’re teaching buyers how to spot opportunity.

Pro tip: The more specific you make it to your market, the more valuable—and irreplaceable—it becomes. This is the kind of content they can’t find on Zillow.

Sometimes the best way to start a conversation is to ask a question.

This Instagram Story series is designed to engage Silver Tsunami sellers by inviting them into the process—not pushing them through it. By framing it as a simple market survey, you create a safe, judgment-free space for them to reflect on what’s driving their decisions and what’s holding them back.

It builds trust, surfaces valuable insights, and opens the door to future conversations.Pro-Tip: Follow up with everyone who responds to your IG Poll.

If you want to post a market update that actually gets attention—start here.

This Reel was inspired by Katie Day’s “5 Most Sold Neighborhoods” video, which pulled in over 15,000 views in less than a week.

Why? Because it’s simple, hyperlocal, and answers a question buyers and sellers actually care about:

Where are homes selling right now?

Use this at the end of the month to highlight the top-performing neighborhoods in your city—sales volume, average price, days on market. You can record a quick video breaking it down… or keep it simple and plug the numbers into our faceless template.

Either way, it’s a fast, effective way to stay visible, relevant, and valuable—without needing to over-explain the market.

‍

We’ve been testing a lot of ways to bring the Deal of the Week strategy to Stories—and this one’s a winner.

It’s simple. Swipeable. And engineered to build momentum before the CTA hits.

Instead of leading with a poll (which can feel rushed), we let the story unfold over 3 slides—hook → details → standout features—then drop the poll. That structure alone gave us 6x more engagement in recent tests.

The best part? This is one of those rare story templates that works whether you're showing your face or not. You can record a walkthrough, use listing photos, or keep it text-only and still make it feel personal and high-value.

We pulled the hook from one of the 1,200 top-performing Instagram creators we track at Listing Leads—and built the rest to help you execute fast.

Use it to spotlight hidden gems, test urgency-driven content, or just stay top of mind with serious buyers.

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).

Use this post to turn private buyer needs into public seller conversations.

‍

Most agents wait until someone says, “I’m ready to move” before they start the conversation.
‍
But the truth? Serious sellers show up months earlier—with questions, hesitations, and quiet curiosity.

That’s where this poll comes in.

It’s not just engagement—it’s early detection.

• You’ll surface potential movers before they hit the market.
  
  
• You’ll position yourself as the go-to guide, not the last-minute call.
  
  
• And you’ll gather real-time feedback from your actual audience—not a generic market report.
  

Use it to spark low-pressure conversations—then follow up with a simple DM to open the door.

Most buyers have no idea what it actually takes to afford a home. They scroll listings, see the price, and assume it’s out of reach—without ever running the numbers.

That’s why this post works. It doesn’t just show a home—it makes the math real. It answers the #1 question buyers have: Can I afford this?

Inspired by Selene Hanna’s viral Instagram Reel, we’ve turned her script into a high-performing carousel. The best part? You can use it to market your own listings—or someone else’s (with permission, of course).

Ready to start conversations with serious buyers? Let’s dive in.

Inspired by Kate Howard’s Instagram Reel, this campaign gives you three simple, but often overlooked, mistakes sellers make that can quietly kill deals. Use it to educate your audience, position yourself as the expert who knows what works, and spark conversations with homeowners who want to get it right.

‍

If you hate being on camera, you’re going to love this Reel.

‍

It taps into the growing Faceless Creator trend—where agents build trust, grow their brand, and generate leads without ever showing their face. It’s perfect if you want to reduce the pressure of being on camera or just work faster.

Rising costs, job loss, unexpected financial struggles—homeowners are feeling the pressure. When mortgage payments start slipping, panic sets in. But here’s the truth: foreclosure isn’t inevitable. There are options, and as a real estate professional, your role isn’t just about transactions—it’s about helping people navigate tough situations.

This script is designed to do exactly that. It delivers real, actionable guidance for homeowners who may be facing pre-foreclosure or Power of Sale—before it’s too late. By sharing this message, you position yourself as a trusted resource, not just another agent chasing a deal.

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.

This one’s built to spark engagement—and get your clients thinking.

Homeowners pulled $25B in equity last quarter, the highest Q1 total since 2008. On average, they’re sitting on over $200K in tappable equity. (Source: ICE Mortgage Tech)

Use this poll to start a bigger conversation: What could your equity actually do for you?

It’s a soft entry point into deeper DMs—and a perfect opportunity to follow up with anyone who responds with an offer to prepare an updated equity report, no strings attached.

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.

As you know, we’re always testing. One of the big zen learnings we’ve had recently was using multiple stories to drive up conversion. In fact a recent story I posted got 6x more engagement when I used the poll at the END, not the beginning of the story.

This YouTube script was inspired by a recent video from Ken Pozek that racked up 20,000+ views—proof that “10 Things to Know” content still hits when done right. But the real magic? It’s not just about views. It’s about trust.

When someone’s thinking about relocating, they don’t want a sales pitch—they want perspective.
This script gives them exactly that:

• Personal storytelling that builds connection
  
  
• Local insights that position you as the expert
  
  
• And a clear call to action that invites the right people to reach out
  

Use this to build authority, grow your channel, and turn curiosity into clients.

Marketing an Open House isn’t just about posting a flyer and hoping people show up. It’s about creating a moment—something people feel like they need to be part of. And social media is where that moment starts.

Use the Canva template below as a starting point for marketing your Open House on your Instagram Stories.

Pro-Tip: After you share the template that includes the Open House information, take a couple behind-the-scenes shots of the home or neighborhood to post on your Instagram Stories in addition to the template.

Foreclosures are rising—here’s a video script to help you guide your clients.

The latest data from ATTOM reveals a 5% increase in foreclosure filings from the previous month, with 32,383 U.S. properties affected in February 2025. This uptick signals a shift in the market, and as a real estate professional, it's crucial to stay ahead.

Many homeowners don’t realize they have options before foreclosure happens. That’s where you come in. By recording and sharing this video, you can proactively educate your audience, position yourself as a trusted resource, and provide real solutions when they need them most.

This script is designed for you to easily record and post. It walks homeowners through:

✔ Loan modification – Adjusting mortgage terms to make payments more manageable.
✔ Forbearance – Temporarily pausing payments to regain financial stability.
✔ Selling before foreclosure – Preserving equity and avoiding the foreclosure process.
✔ Short sale – Selling the property for less than owed, with lender approval.

🎥 How to use this: Simply record yourself reading the script, personalize it with your insights, and upload it to your social platforms. To make it even easier, use the Canva template below as your video thumbnail to grab attention.

By sharing this message, you’re not just staying visible—you’re providing real value. And in a shifting market, that’s what sets top agents apart. Here’s the script to get started.

Inventory's up. Some buyers are paying closer attention—but they haven’t all told an agent they’re looking.

This story helps you change that—without being pushy.

It’s a simple market update with a smart twist: a timely stat, a relatable poll, and a chance to spot who's quietly keeping tabs on new listings. Use it to stay visible, start conversations, and surface warm leads hiding in plain sight.

Pro tip: Anyone who taps the poll is showing interest. Send them a quick DM to start the conversation.

Note: You can swap “Zillow” with Realtor.ca, HouseSigma, or whatever’s most familiar to your audience.

Most FSBO sellers think pricing is just about their home. But buyers don’t see it that way. They compare every listing in the market before making a move—and if a home doesn’t stack up, they scroll right past it.

‍

That’s why this Reel works. Instead of telling FSBO sellers their price is wrong, it helps them see why pricing strategically matters. It gives them a buyer’s perspective, shifts their mindset, and naturally leads to the CMA offer as the solution.

‍

The goal? Provide value first, spark awareness, and make it easy for them to take the next step.

This Reel taps into a trend that’s everywhere right now (like here) — and for good reason.

It’s not just funny. It’s tribal. It’s us vs. them, but in the most charming, slightly unhinged, deeply relatable way.

“[Your City] Propaganda I Am Absolutely Falling For” is your chance to lovingly call out the oddly specific, wildly inaccurate, and completely accepted delusions your city lives by.

Think: overpriced habits, generational conditioning, chaotic seasonal rituals — all delivered like a late-night group chat that got out of hand (in the best way).

Why it works:

• Builds instant connection with your local audience
• Makes people laugh and feel seen
• Reinforces that you're not just a local expert — you’re one of them

And best of all? It’s ridiculously easy to make. Swap in your city, riff on 15 local one-liners, hit post, and watch the comments roll in: “ALL OF THE ABOVE ❤️” “Felt way too seen 😭” “Okay but why is this actually true?”

Some will laugh, some will argue, and some will start adding their own. That’s when you know it’s working.

Pricing your home too high might feel like a smart move—you can always lower it later, right? But in reality, overpricing can do more harm than good.

The first week on the market is everything. That’s when serious buyers are searching, ready to make offers. But if your price is too high? You risk getting ignored, losing momentum, and ultimately selling for less than if you had priced it right from the start.

This carousel breaks down why overpricing is risky—and how to price strategically to attract strong offers.

We’ve been testing a lot of ways to bring the Deal of the Week strategy to Stories—and this one’s a winner.

It’s simple. Swipeable. And engineered to build momentum before the CTA hits.

Instead of leading with a poll (which can feel rushed), we let the story unfold over 3 slides—hook → details → standout features—then drop the poll. That structure alone gave us 6x more engagement in recent tests.

We pulled the hook from one of the 1,200 top-performing Instagram creators we track at Listing Leads—and built the rest to help you execute fast.

Use it to spotlight hidden gems, test urgency-driven content, or just stay top of mind with serious buyers.

‍

Most “Just Sold” posts focus on the numbers—sale price, days on market, multiple offers. But this? This is about the moment a seller realizes their home is officially sold. The relief. The excitement. The deep breath after weeks (or months) of waiting.

Inspired by Bridgette Harrington’s viral reel, this isn’t about data—it’s about the human side of real estate. The emotions, the milestones, the stories that make this job so rewarding.

This reel captures that moment. And trust me, it’s the kind of content people feel—which is exactly why it resonates.

If you hate being on camera, you’re going to love this Instagram Reel. This campaign leverages the "Faceless Creator" movement on Instagram, which is all about building a brand and generating content without showing your face or making yourself the focal point. It’s a growing trend across Instagram and other platforms, driven by creators who prefer privacy, want to reduce the pressure of being constantly on camera, or simply find it more efficient to create content this way.

‍

Inspired by Courtney Strzelczyk’s Instagram Reel, the hook is to feature neighborhoods that have something that buyers really want (i.e. No HOA, historic character, great shopping, etc.). See the image above for example hooks (or create your own!). End with a CTA for viewers to comment if they want current listings in those neighborhoods.

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.

Sometimes the best lead gen is just asking the right question.
‍
This Instagram Poll does more than boost engagement—it gives you real-time insight into what’s actually holding people back from selling.

Here’s what makes it effective:

• It meets sellers where they are: stuck in limbo.
• It surfaces objections without making it about you.
• It creates a low-risk way for followers to raise their hand.

Use it to start DMs, guide your content, and tailor your follow-ups.

Simple. Specific. Seller-focused.

Buying a home in 2025 might be on a lot of people’s minds—but what’s holding them back? Price? Timing? Selling first? You won’t know unless you ask.

‍

That’s what this poll is built for. It’s an easy, low-commitment way for buyers to tell you what’s really standing in their way—without feeling pressured. Every response gives you a reason to reach out, start a conversation, and position yourself as the agent who understands their situation.

‍

Use this poll to spark engagement, uncover hesitation, and find your next client.

‍

This Reel was inspired by a viral post from Lucky to Live Here:

“Houses that sold with the highest taxes in 2025 on Long Island.”

 It’s hyper-local, data-driven, and built for curiosity clicks.

We’ve turned that idea into a customizable Instagram Reel template for your market.

Pick the hook that fits your area best:
→ The steepest price cuts
→ The highest taxes
→ The longest or shortest days on market
→ The highest monthly payments

Then showcase 3–4 recent sales with that stat front and center. Quick to make, easy to engage—and a smart way to start conversations

1 in 7 deals fell apart last month. (Redfin)

Not offers that never came in. Contracts that were accepted—and then canceled.

That stat alone gives you a reason to speak up. Because behind every canceled deal is a question your clients are already asking: Is now still a good time to buy or sell?

This video gives you a calm, data-backed way to answer it.

You’ll walk buyers through the silver linings. Show sellers where the leverage still exists. And offer a neighborhood-level perspective most agents never take the time to explain.

If you’re looking for a smart, steady way to show up this week—this is it.

For many Silver Tsunami sellers, it’s not about square footage—it’s about lifestyle, cost of living, and day-to-day freedom.

This carousel gives you a visual, data-backed way to highlight neighborhoods where that next chapter could actually cost less. You’re not just sharing listings—you’re showing smarter options. With property taxes, utility costs, and price points side-by-side, it’s easy for longtime homeowners to imagine what a more affordable future could look like.

Use this to educate, inspire, and start real conversations.

‍

Not every Story needs to be educational. Sometimes it just needs to start a conversation.

This one came from Jeremy Knight—he posted it to his Facebook page and the comments took off. It’s bold enough to spark reactions, but casual enough to feel like a real conversation starter: “A client just asked me what [Area]’s most overrated neighborhood is. 😳 I think I know the answer…what do you think?”

Add a question box. That’s it.

It’s local. It’s fun. And it gets people talking. You’ll spark DMs, get a read on public opinion, maybe even uncover a few strong opinions to share (anonymously or not—your call).

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.

If it doesn’t already, the “Deal of the Week” should live in your weekly SOPs. Every week, find the hottest new listing in your market - and turn it into a reason for people to stop, share, and engage.

We know: you can’t always get the listing agent’s permission to share the photos of your Deal of the Week. That’s why we created this template.

Follow the instructions below on how to edit the template in Canva and post to Instagram.

Not sure which listing to feature?

• 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 your deal of the week.

There’s a reason this style of video explodes on YouTube: viewers love seeing how far their money actually goes. And the data backs it up. We recently featured this video from Justin Martinez on our Viral Leaderboard, who pulled in over 528,000 views - more than 100x his usual - using this exact comparison framework. It’s simple, it’s visual, and it keeps people watching because they want to see what changes as the price climbs.

This template tightens the concept even further. Instead of jumping across different cities, you’re stacking three price points inside the same area. Same neighborhood. Same schools. Same lifestyle—until the budget shifts. That contrast is what makes people lean in.

You can also flip the format anytime (like “What $500K gets you in A vs. B vs. C”).

Pro Tip: Weave in one of your listings to boost traction and include all the details of your listing in the description, like Justin does here.

Black Friday is one of the easiest moments of the year to show up as a community leader—not with salesy real estate content, but with something genuinely useful. This carousel does exactly that. You’re spotlighting local businesses, highlighting real deals people care about, and giving your audience a reason to save, shop, and share.

The angle is simple: high-value, low-effort content that positions you as the agent who knows the area and supports the community. You’re not promoting yourself; you’re promoting the businesses your followers already love.

Just plug in the deals, add the business info, and keep it clean. And don’t forget the final slide - it prompts engagement without feeling forced, which helps the post travel further.

This is local expertise in a format that’s fast to build and easy for people to pass along.

A lot of sellers assume they need to renovate before they list. It feels like the “smart” thing to do. The responsible thing.

But in today’s market? That instinct doesn’t always pay off.

This Instagram carousel gives you a sharp, scroll-stopping way to challenge the assumption. You’re not saying don’t renovate. You’re showing them that not every project delivers a return, and some can even turn buyers off completely.
‍
Because when you help them avoid expensive mistakes, you earn the right to guide their next move.

You had me at “exposed brick and green marble kitchen.”

That’s the line from one of Chesley McCarty’s recent Reels that went viral - and it’s the inspiration for this week’s Deal of the Week Instagram Story campaign.

Here’s how it works:

Start with one unique feature that sets the home apart. You can pull it right in the listing description - put it in quotes, and use it to complete the hook.

Then, share the photos to give people a quick visual hit of the home.

Keep the details light: only share the number of bedrooms and the neighborhood. 

Wrap it with a poll:
→ Yes please
→ Interested

Why this format works: It builds just enough curiosity to start a conversation—without overwhelming your audience or giving away the whole story.

Not sure which listing to feature?

• 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 your Deal of the Week.

Fannie Mae is projecting rates to slide under 6% by the end of 2026. That gets people thinking: At what point would I finally jump in?

That’s the question this Story is built around. By asking followers for their “magic” mortgage rate, you’re not only sparking engagement—you’re qualifying your audience. Anyone who responds is signaling intent, curiosity, or at least awareness of where rates are headed.

And that’s the win here: a simple poll that creates interaction, reveals buying signals, and keeps you top of mind when the timing feels right. We’ve even included a recommended follow-up script to make those conversations easy.

Looking to fill your pipeline with real, ready buyers before the year wraps? This poll makes it simple.

It’s built around a format that consistently performs: lead with a timely, relevant stat, then invite your audience to identify themselves. The data point (“mortgage applications just rose 5%”) creates urgency and credibility. The follow-up question (“Which best describes your situation?”) turns passive scrollers into active prospects.

Use this poll to start real conversations with buyers who are already thinking about making a move before 2026.

Here’s a quick, low-lift way to spark new conversations right from Instagram.

We’re always testing fresh poll ideas that make it easy for you to generate leads without feeling salesy, and this one hits that sweet spot.

Post this poll to your Story, let the responses roll in, and then use the follow-up scripts we’ve included to start more conversations.

If it doesn’t already, the “Deal of the Week” should live in your weekly SOPs. Every week, find the hottest new listing in your market - and turn it into a reason for people to stop, share, and engage.

That’s why we created this template. Go here to build a map of where the listing is located.

Stop giving people everything up front. Curiosity is what drives conversations, and the agent who has the most conversations wins.

That’s why this week’s campaign leans into the power of the tease. Instead of dumping all the details, you’re anchoring attention with one bold statement: Feels like $X. Costs under $Y.

From there, you give them just enough: a few strong photos, the bed count, and the neighborhood.

Then you finish with a simple poll. The goal isn’t to sell the home in one story, it’s to spark interest and invite engagement.

Instagram Stories is where you capture leads. That’s why we lean so heavily on polls, they’re one of the fastest, easiest ways to spark real conversations in your DMs.

This one is what we call a situational poll. It’s simple, conversational, and it’s proven to work time and time again for our community. By asking people where they’re at - not moving until 2026, selling this year, or in their forever home - you instantly segment your audience without the heavy lift. And when someone taps, you’ve got the perfect opening to follow up and keep the conversation going.

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.

If it doesn’t already, the “Deal of the Week” should live in your weekly SOPs. Every week, find the hottest new listing in your market - whether it’s yours or someone else’s (always get the listing agent’s permission first) - and turn it into a reason for people to stop, share, and engage.

This week, we’re running a new hook: “share this with a friend.” It’s a simple line, but it’s the same psychology behind some of the most viral IG posts. Notice what’s missing too: we’re not dropping the price. Just beds, baths, and location with a clean grid of photos.

Then comes the closer: a poll. Two light, obvious choices that keep it playful while opening the door to DMs and follow-up conversations.

The formula is simple: Hook them with curiosity, multiply reach with the share trigger, and let the poll carry you straight into real conversations with buyers.

Sometimes the best way to stand out is to zig when everyone else zags.

That’s why this carousel leads with a proven hook - one that pulled 852K views for Megan Parker - and pairs it with a visual, lifestyle-first approach inspired by Lucky to Live Here’s neighborhood reel. The result? A scroll-stopper that makes people curious about places they didn’t even know they should be looking.

You’re showing them what it feels like to live there, through photos that capture the streets, scenery, and everyday life. It’s the perfect way to spark conversations with locals and relocation buyers alike.

Swap in your own neighborhoods, add your photos, and make it yours. And if you’ve got a relocation guide? Drop it in the caption or offer it as the CTA, this is exactly the moment to use it.

We already know unsolicited CMAs work. But the agents who consistently generate seller leads don’t stop there—they turn their best CMAs into social content that drives action. That’s why this IG poll is one of our top-performing shareables at ListingLeads.

Here’s the play: run 5–10 CMAs a week, pick the one that grabs attention, and post it as a story. Lead with the gap—“their Zestimate was off by $39,000”—because that’s the hook that makes people lean in. Then close with the poll. Two easy, obvious options that get people to raise their hand without hesitation.

From there, the strategy is simple: DM everyone who engages and turn curiosity into listing conversations.

“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.

Just because it’s on the MLS doesn’t mean it’s being marketed.

That’s the gap most sellers don’t realize exists—and the one you need to own in your market. In a time when homes are rushed online with half-baked photos, no clear plan, and videos that never leave the listing page, your process should stand out like a spotlight.

This campaign was inspired by Shannon Gillette’s reel and built around a viral hook. It’s your chance to show your followers exactly how you create demand, not just a listing—and to position yourself as the agent who brings a plan, not a hope.

For the reel itself, keep it simple: overlay the text on b-roll footage - like in this example - whether that’s of you, a listing, neighborhood shots, or anything that fits your brand. Then copy and paste the caption provided below, or tweak it to make it your own.

This is your plug-and-play July market update. Short. Visual. Crazy effective.

We’ve seen this exact format rack up thousands of views across top-performing creators, and for good reason. It’s fast to build, easy to watch, and delivers exactly what buyers and sellers want: real numbers, real sales, and real context about what homes are actually going for.

This reel template is fully customizable. Drop in your local sold data, adjust the price ceiling, and update the neighborhoods. In under 10 minutes, you’ve got a scroll-stopping post that builds authority without having to say a word.

You’re not just selling homes. You’re selling certainty—in a market full of doubt.

The mistake? Thinking your experience speaks for itself. It doesn’t. Not anymore.

We saw this video by Dewayne Carpenter—just 90 seconds, no fluff, no hype—and it stopped us cold. It framed experience not as ego, but as an edge. And it did what most agent videos don’t: it made us feel the value of working with someone who’s done the reps.

So we reverse-engineered it.

We broke down the structure, reworked the beats, and wrote you a script that’s ready to record—without sounding like a script. Something you could put on your homepage, pin to your YouTube channel, or use as a trust-building asset when someone’s deciding whether to hit “schedule a call.”

This isn’t about flexing your résumé. It’s about translating experience into language the consumer actually understands—and values.

Use this to show—not tell—why working with you isn’t a gamble. It’s a shortcut.

This Reel is for the sellers who are feeling anxious, and for the agents who want to speak to that emotion with honesty.

The campaign was inspired by a fantastic post from Shannon Gillette, who nailed what so many homeowners are feeling right now: “We’re doing everything right… so why hasn’t it sold?”

We took that message and reshaped it into a simple, text-based Reel you can post as-is with a reassuring message that normalizes slower sales and reminds sellers: it’s not just you, this is the market.

Update the “average days on market” to match your area, choose a reflective or trending audio, and post it.

When something works, don’t reinvent the wheel. Sam Reifman-Packett (who you should all follow on IG) ran this exact story and walked away with 70 leads.

The formula is simple: hit your audience with a stat they can’t ignore - price reductions in their area this week - and then ask the question that matters: “What’s holding you back from buying?”

That’s it. Don’t overthink it. Don’t over-design it.

Just post it.

Give people a peek behind the curtain.

This Story works because it feels insider. You’re literally showing your MLS screen (something most buyers never see) and using it to highlight all the recent price reductions in your area. That “backstage access” creates a powerful psychological trigger: people love feeling like they’re seeing what others can’t.

Then you keep it simple with a poll.

If your Story views are strong but engagement is flat—this is the format to fix it.

We’ve been testing all kinds of ways to bring the “Deal of the Week” to Stories—and this one's a keeper.

It’s visual. It’s clever. And it mimics a play we’re seeing everywhere from top influencers: tease the value, show a receipt (like listing views), then drop the link behind an emoji.

Why does it work? Because it builds curiosity before it asks for action.

You’re not shouting “BUY!”—you’re drawing attention to demand. That alone makes this feel less like an ad, more like a can’t-miss opportunity.

The best part? You only need one slide. A Zillow screenshot. A few strategic details. A clear price anchor. 

And everyone who clicks? That’s your follow-up list.

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

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.

Sometimes your best content ideas don’t come from other agents, they come from the creators outside our industry who are racking up millions of views.

That’s exactly where this Reel started. We found a viral post from @emilymacleodwellness that’s been viewed 3M times, and rebuilt the format for you.

Here’s why it works:

• “Innocent looking” hits harder than “common mistakes.”
• It speaks directly to homeowners, and taps into a shared fear: no one wants their home to feel cheap.
• It’s a clean listicle. Ten finishes. Scannable. Watchable. Easy to share.

The best part? You don’t have to film anything. We’ve designed this as a text-based Reel, all the content lives in the caption. Just post as-is, or swap in a background photo (or video) of yourself, a listing, or a local scene to make it feel more like you.

This IG reel is fast, visual, and ridiculously easy to execute, but it’s also backed by real data from Zillow, NAHB, and HomeLight on what today’s buyers are actually looking for.

Post as-is or update any of the ten points to reflect what you’re seeing in your market.

If you want more leads, this IG Story series is the play. Tom and Jimmy built these slides for one reason: they get people talking.

Here’s why it works: every question is easy to answer, a little personal, and designed to draw buyers and sellers into a real conversation.

We even included three recommended follow-up scripts so you’re never stuck wondering what to say next.

‍

You’ve likely seen these videos everywhere lately - and for good reason. They rack up views, spark debate, and get people talking. This format works because everyone has an opinion about neighborhoods. When you rank them, people can’t resist chiming in.

This template was directly inspired by Austin Klar’s video “I Ranked San Francisco’s BEST Neighborhoods (Tier List),” which pulled in 27,000 views. We studied his approach, broke down what made it work, and built this version so you can easily apply it in your own market.

The result? A high-energy, proven format that not only drives views but also starts conversations in the comments and positions you as the local expert. All you need to do is plug in your neighborhoods, your details, and hit record. When you’re ready to upload, we’ve even included a YouTube title and description you can copy-paste to maximize reach.

Looking to fill your pipeline with real, ready buyers before the year wraps? This poll makes it simple.

It’s built around a format that consistently performs: lead with a relevant market insight (“We’re seeing a big jump in buyer activity in [Area]”) then invite your audience to identify themselves. The follow-up question (“Which best describes your situation?”) turns passive scrollers into active prospects.

Use this poll to start real conversations with buyers who are already thinking about making a move before 2026.

‍

If it doesn’t already, the “Deal of the Week” should live in your weekly SOPs. Every week, find the hottest new listing in your market - whether it’s yours or someone else’s (always get the listing agent’s permission first) - and turn it into a reason for people to stop, share, and engage.

This week, the hook is a simple POV line: “You’re not planning to move but then this comes on the market in [Area].” Notice what’s missing too: we’re not dropping the price. Just beds, baths, and location with a clean grid of photos.

Then comes the closer: a poll. Two light, obvious choices that keep it playful while opening the door to DMs and follow-up conversations.

The formula is simple, but the impact compounds. Hook them with curiosity, multiply reach with the share trigger, and let the poll carry you straight into real conversations with buyers.

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.

This Story poll is a simple way to turn views into conversations.

By offering specific options (price, feature, location), you give buyers an easy, non-intrusive way to raise their hand.

It works because it feels like help, not a sales pitch.

Customize the options based on what buyers in your market are actually searching for, then post.

When responses come in, check your DMs and follow up with confidence.

See below for recommended follow-up scripts to keep the convo going.

Everyone’s talking about how expensive your market’s gotten. But few agents are showing buyers where value still exists — and that’s your edge.

This campaign was inspired by two standout San Francisco creators, Austin Klar and Ruth Krishnan (specifically this video and this video) who are both masters at turning local insight into authority-building content.

That’s exactly what this YouTube script helps you do. It positions you as the go-to expert who knows not only where the best homes are, but why they’re smart buys in today’s market.

Use this video to shift the conversation from “everything’s overpriced” to “here’s where opportunity still lives.”

“Goodbye [Area]” videos keep popping up, and they seem to always blow up. Thousands of views, tons of comments. People can’t look away.

This template was inspired by two standout videos on that theme by Nicholas Miele and Kyle Talbot to help you talk about the shift in a way that’s real and useful. You’re not fear-mongering or chasing clicks. You’re showing what’s actually happening, how it impacts buyers and sellers, and what smart moves look like right now.

An FHFA study found the lock-in effect kept 1.3 million homeowners from selling between Q2 2022 and Q4 2023. Now with rates dropping, we could see more buyers and sellers re-enter the market.

That’s why this Instagram story series works: it builds the narrative step by step, grounding your audience in data, then connecting it to what’s happening right now. By the third slide, you’re not asking a yes-or-no question about moving - you’re meeting people where they are with a softer entry: At what rate would you consider re-entering the market?

It’s low-friction, easy to engage, and a natural segue into conversation. And with the included follow-up script below, you’re equipped to turn story interactions into meaningful one-on-one chats.

If it doesn’t already, the “Deal of the Week” should live in your weekly SOPs. Every week, find the hottest new listing in your market - and turn it into a reason for people to stop, share, and engage.

Hidden towns drive outsized attention - and action.

Eric Meldrum proved it: his “7 Detroit-ish Towns Locals LOVE” pulled 55× more views than his average video. That’s not luck. It’s a format buyers can’t scroll past and locals can’t resist sharing. And with more buyers re-entering the market as rates ease, this is the moment to spotlight the places that don’t make the glossy lists.

Your role: be the guide. Lead with a bold promise, anchor it in simple lifestyle wins, and let the “locals-only” angle do the heavy lifting. We built a plug-and-play template so you can move fast, stay credible, and convert attention into calls.

Use this to film your own “underrated towns” video - swap in your markets, hit record, and go.

Slow market or not, life doesn’t hit pause.

People are still growing, downsizing, changing jobs, or just dreaming about a fresh start. This poll taps into that in a quick, low-key way to see who’s thinking about a move.

Don’t overthink it. Post it to your story today.

This script is a positioning tool. The hook gets attention because it taps into the question everyone’s asking: what happens if rates fall further? That curiosity is your opening to share insights that matter.

The strength of this video is in how it frames the numbers. You’re not dumping stats, you’re connecting them to real decisions buyers and sellers are weighing right now: affordability, confidence, and timing. That’s what makes you the trusted guide, not just another voice repeating headlines.

Bottom line: use this video to show authority, spark conversations, and keep yourself top of mind when people start making moves.

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.

After analyzing thousands of real estate creators, we’ve noticed a trend: the highest-engagement polls are often the most casual. They feel like a text from a friend, not a marketing post. That’s exactly what this story is designed to do.

Starting with “Debated not posting this…” immediately disarms your audience. It signals vulnerability and curiosity—two powerful triggers that drive replies, votes, and DMs. Pair that with a low-maintenance design and a simple poll format, and you’ve got a high-impact story that feels spontaneous but is strategically built for engagement.

Use this poll to re-engage buyers who may be silently struggling or considering stepping out of the market. It opens the door to honest conversations—and gives you a soft way to reintroduce helpful guidance.

This is the kind of content buyers actually save.

It answers a question they’re already thinking about—“Can I make a low offer?”—and gives them a smart, helpful framework for when and how that works.

The beauty of this Reel? You don’t even need to be on camera.
The caption does the heavy lifting, walking through timing, terms, and tone—while the Reel itself can be as simple as a text-based hook or B-roll with overlay.

We know listings are sitting on the market longer right now, so we thought this might be a good moment to meet the market with a message like this. It’s timely, relevant—and likely to resonate.

Not every lead gen post needs to be a market update or a polished Reel.

Sometimes, the best engagement comes from a simple question that gets people talking.

This one came from Jeremy Knight—he posted it to his Facebook page and the comments took off. It’s bold enough to spark reactions, but casual enough to feel like a real conversation starter:

“A client just asked me what [Area]’s most overrated neighborhood is. 😳
I think I know the answer…what do you think?”

It’s light, local, and designed to stir the pot just enough.

Post it on your page. Better yet—drop it in your community Facebook group.You’ll learn what people really think—and keep yourself front and center in the process.

The Magic Buyer Letter can be repurposed into videos, emails, and social posts.
