Youâre not just selling homes. Youâre selling certaintyâin a market full of doubt.
The mistake? Thinking your experience speaks for itself. It doesnât. Not anymore.
We saw this video by Dewayne Carpenterâjust 90 seconds, no fluff, no hypeâand it stopped us cold. It framed experience not as ego, but as an edge. And it did what most agent videos donât: it made us feel the value of working with someone whoâs done the reps.
So we reverse-engineered it.
We broke down the structure, reworked the beats, and wrote you a script thatâs ready to recordâwithout sounding like a script. Something you could put on your homepage, pin to your YouTube channel, or use as a trust-building asset when someoneâs deciding whether to hit âschedule a call.â
This isnât about flexing your rĂŠsumĂŠ. Itâs about translating experience into language the consumer actually understandsâand values.
Use this to showânot tellâwhy working with you isnât a gamble. Itâs a shortcut.
Inventory's up. Some buyers are paying closer attentionâbut they havenât all told an agent theyâre looking.
This story helps you change thatâwithout being pushy.
Itâs 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 âZillowâ with Realtor.ca, HouseSigma, or whateverâs most familiar to your audience.
Weâve been testing a lot of ways to bring the Deal of the Week strategy to Storiesâand this oneâs a winner.
Itâs 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 slidesâhook â details â standout featuresâthen 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 Leadsâand 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.
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 Knightâhe posted it to his Facebook page and the comments took off. Itâs bold enough to spark reactions, but casual enough to feel like a real conversation starter:
âA client just asked me what [Area]âs most overrated neighborhood is. đł
I think I know the answerâŚwhat do you think?â
Itâs light, local, and designed to stir the pot just enough.
Post it on your page. Better yetâdrop it in your community Facebook group.Youâll learn what people really thinkâand keep yourself front and center in the process.
If you want to post a market update that actually gets attentionâstart here.
This Reel was inspired by Katie Dayâs â5 Most Sold Neighborhoodsâ video, which pulled in over 15,000 views in less than a week.
Why? Because itâs 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 cityâsales 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, itâs a fast, effective way to stay visible, relevant, and valuableâwithout needing to over-explain the market.

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

Add a question box. Thatâs it.
Itâs local. Itâs fun. And it gets people talking. Youâll spark DMs, get a read on public opinion, maybe even uncover a few strong opinions to share (anonymously or notâyour call).

This is the kind of content buyers actually save.
It answers a question theyâre already thinking aboutââCan I make a low offer?ââand gives them a smart, helpful framework for when and how that works.
The beauty of this Reel? You donât even need to be on camera.
The caption does the heavy lifting, walking through timing, terms, and toneâwhile 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. Itâs timely, relevantâand likely to resonate.
After analyzing thousands of real estate creators, weâve noticed a trend: the highest-engagement polls are often the most casual. They feel like a text from a friend, not a marketing post. Thatâs exactly what this story is designed to do.
Starting with âDebated not posting thisâŚâ immediately disarms your audience. It signals vulnerability and curiosityâtwo powerful triggers that drive replies, votes, and DMs. Pair that with a low-maintenance design and a simple poll format, and youâve 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 conversationsâand gives you a soft way to reintroduce helpful guidance.
This Reel taps into a trend thatâs everywhere right now (like here) â and for good reason.
Itâs not just funny. Itâs tribal. Itâs us vs. them, but in the most charming, slightly unhinged, deeply relatable way.
â[Your City] Propaganda I Am Absolutely Falling Forâ 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 â 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 â youâre one of them
And best of all? Itâs ridiculously easy to make. Swap in your city, riff on 15 local one-liners, hit post, and watch the comments roll in: âALL OF THE ABOVE â¤ď¸â âFelt way too seen đâ âOkay but why is this actually true?â
Some will laugh, some will argue, and some will start adding their own. Thatâs when you know itâs working.
We hear it all the time from top agents: "The marketing was so good, my sellers joked they didnât want to move anymore."
That insight sparked this post.
We turned it into a carousel with a hook that sellers (and future clients) canât ignore:
âEvery seller we work with has second thoughts right before we list.â
Because this is your moment to show the sweatâto 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 itâs time to sell
Smart. Emotional. Sharable.Thatâs the kind of marketing that sells homes and builds your brand.
This Reel was inspired by a viral post from Lucky to Live Here:
âHouses that sold with the highest taxes in 2025 on Long Island.â
 Itâs hyper-local, data-driven, and built for curiosity clicks.
Weâve turned that idea into a customizable Instagram Reel template for your market.
Pick the hook that fits your area best:
â The steepest price cuts
â The highest taxes
â The longest or shortest days on market
â The highest monthly payments
Then showcase 3â4 recent sales with that stat front and center. Quick to make, easy to engageâand a smart way to start conversations

This oneâs built to spark engagementâand get your clients thinking.
Homeowners pulled $25B in equity last quarter, the highest Q1 total since 2008. On average, theyâre 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?
Itâs a soft entry point into deeper DMsâand a perfect opportunity to follow up with anyone who responds with an offer to prepare an updated equity report, no strings attached.
1 in 7 deals fell apart last month. (Redfin)
Not offers that never came in. Contracts that were acceptedâand 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.
Youâll 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 youâre looking for a smart, steady way to show up this weekâthis is it.
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 whatâs actually happeningâwithout 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.
Hereâs the postâjust plug in the neighborhood:
âThis is 1 of 4 homes that just had a price dropâŚ
âŚin one of the hottest neighborhoods in [City Name].
Should I send you the other 3?? They're all priced below recent comps.â
â Yes, Iâm curious â Show me the deals
Selling a home is rarely as simpleâor as fastâas people expect.
Thatâs why we created this carousel: to walk future sellers through what the process actually feels like. The decisions, the doubts, the waiting, the wins.
Itâs not meant to capture every scenario. Instead, it offers a realistic, emotionally honest timeline to help set better expectationsâespecially in a market where things are taking longer and patience matters more than ever.
Just one note: youâll want to edit Slide 7 to reflect the average days on market in your area.Use it as-isâor tweak the timeline to better fit what youâre seeing with your clients.
