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.
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.
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 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.
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.
Clarity is a power tool in this market. Your potential sellers are absorbing headline after headline, piecing together their own story about what’s happening (and that story usually leans negative). Whoever controls the narrative controls the market, and that's what we're doing here.
First, we mirror what many homeowners are already thinking: “Maybe we should wait to list.” That’s the hook that earns trust. Then we shift the energy with simple, data-backed reasons for optimism.
The campaign flows naturally into the three insights and a soft P.S. offering a home value check.
Anyone who opened yesterday’s email is your prospecting list for this text. They’ve already shown interest - that’s all the qualification you need. This message is designed to follow up that signal in a way that feels personal, intentional, and low-pressure.
The key phrase here is: “The last time we talked you mentioned…”
Vanessa Van Edwards, a famous psychologist, teaches that this line immediately increases likability because it shows you listened and remembered. In real estate, being likable and competent builds trust quickly.
The hooks provided are simply examples, use the one that matches your actual past conversation with this person. The goal is to reference something specific, then end with an open, non-pushy question.

This text is simple, sincere, and perfectly timed. Right now is the ideal moment to reach out to your 2025 clients with a quick message of genuine appreciation. These are the relationships that matter, and a small, thoughtful touch goes a long way.
The script is intentionally warm and straightforward. Use it as written, or personalize it with a detail from their move.
Pro-tip: Send this as a text or a 1:1 off-the-cuff video. It doesn’t need to be polished, authentic always beats produced.

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.
This is a simple spin-off of the original Name Your Price email - the same psychology, just delivered with a softer, more conversational entry point. Smart agents have already proven this strategy works in email and in direct mail, and the logic is straightforward: when a tactic consistently pulls, you double down on it.

This referral text is simple but strategic.
It’s based on research from Vanessa Van Edwards, a behavioral expert who studies how warmth, trust, and status drive responses.
Here’s what makes it work:
1. It opens with a high-warmth cue—“You’re so well-connected”—which triggers trust and makes the person feel seen.
2. It keeps the ask mutual, not transactional. You’re not selling—you’re inviting them into something valuable.
3. It uses power + warmth language to describe the listing. Instead of underselling it (“might be a good fit…”), you’re quietly signaling urgency and quality.
