In today’s competitive real estate market, finding the perfect home can be challenging, especially when the best properties get snapped up quickly. The Circle Prospecting Post strategy offers a solution by engaging your social network to uncover off-market deals before they hit mainstream platforms like Zillow.
Circle Prospecting Post is a proactive social media tactic where agents announce their upcoming calls to homeowners in specific neighborhoods. This post creates buzz and interest among potential buyers, inviting them to express interest in exclusive deals.
For example: "Hi Friends, I'm going to be calling around the 223 homes in Auburn, NH this morning between 700-900k. If I come across any potential deals, should I contact you?"
This strategy benefits agents by generating new leads and building anticipation for off-market opportunities. It enhances their reputation as dedicated professionals who go the extra mile.
For buyers, Circle Prospecting Post is a game-changer. It offers access to properties not yet listed online, giving them a competitive edge. By engaging with these posts, buyers can find homes that perfectly match their needs.
In essence, Circle Prospecting Post leverages social media to maximize engagement and uncover hidden real estate opportunities, ensuring a more successful home-buying experience.
By opting in, followers get exclusive access to top listings, ensuring they stay ahead in the market. This interactive approach not only engages your audience but also generates high-quality leads, turning followers into potential buyers.
This is a 🔥 social media tactic.
Leverage IG polls or a Facebook post to ask an engaging question, then DM people who respond.
This is a rinse and repeat strategy that you can leverage each week to have more real estate related conversations with people who are connected with you on social media.
Watch the magic unfold when you stop scrolling and start engaging.
If you're looking for an incredibly simple way to start conversations using IG polls, this is it.
Here's your SOP:
1. Share poll
2. DM everyone who interacts with a personalized message
3. Offer a CMA as a value-add
4. Book an appointment
Lisbeth Herrera brilliantly executed this campaign.
The results?
11 people responded with "too small."
3 CMAs requested.
1 appointment.
Let's keep building. 🚀
The typical home value ad is overused.
Over-advertised.
So let's try something different…
Most agents don’t know that you can generate seller leads with Instagram Stories.
But there’s a catch…
If you’re going to be posting stories on Instagram, you need to be using polls and questions.
These are simple interactive tools that turn impressions into warm leads.
Here's an Instagram story template you can use to generate "inbound" IG leads.
All you have to do is add the poll (with no title).
Then add these poll answers:
In the last 7 days.
It's been a while.
It's been way too long.
When people respond to the poll, slide into their DMs with the following scripts:
In the last 7 days → What do you think about the value?
It's been a while or way too long → Would it be helpful if I prepared a professional home value report for you?
IG stories are a cheat code for seller leads.

Vanessa Reilly shared with me an Instagram strategy she's using to start more conversations on social media.
So far, she's engaged with 3 serious buyers from this one tactic.
This should 100% be a go-to tactic for the buyer agents on your team.
Here's how it works:
1. Create an engaging poll question (I'll drop some ideas in the comments)
2. Send a DM to anyone who engages with a soft easy to answer follow-up questions.
That's it!
The Deal of the Week strategy needs to be added to your weekly marketing SOPs.
It's simple, repeatable, and highly effective.
Brad McCallum sent a Deal of the Week email and got 20 replies.
But here's the thing...
This email is just the beginning.
Repurpose your Deal of the Week into an IG poll and an SOI text.
This is how you can take a winning marketing campaign and maximize the impact.
Here's the IG Poll. ⬇️
This is a great tactic by Will Draper.
He asked a simple question on an IG poll—
Who wants a list of all the available new construction homes in El Paso?
Off of this campaign, he generated 41 inbound responses of people saying, "I'm interested in new construction properties."
That's 41 leads they can DM and set an appointment with.
And of those 41 leads, there likely is—at minimum—4-6 listing opportunities in there.
This is how you use Instagram on buy side angles to generate sell side leads.
Here's how you can generate Instagram Seller Leads using the Zestimate. ⬇️
Step 1: Always take a photo of the Zestimate before you put it in the MLS. This helps you avoid Zillow's fancy algorithm from taking credit for your pricing strategy.
Step 2: When you sell the home above the Zestimate, promote it as an IG story.
Step 3: Create a poll with the question: Is your Zestimate accurate?
Step 4: DM every person who responds to the poll with a CMA offer: Hey [First Name], I noticed that you responded that our Zestimate was wrong. Would it be helpful if I put together a professional home equity for your home? It will be much more accurate than an online tool.
Step 5: Schedule calls to review the results with your prospects.
NOTABLY: If you don't have a good example of a Zestimate, skip step 1 and 2 and go right to step 3.
If you have a qualified buyer, but nowhere for them to go, that's not a problem—it's an opportunity.
That's exactly what the 2024 Magic Buyer Video is about.
It's an opportunity for you to go the extra mile for your buyer.
It's an opportunity for you to start more conversations.
It's an opportunity for you to generate more listing opportunities.
As you adapt this campaign to fit your market, your buyer, and your brand, make sure you include:
1. Specific data points about who your buyer is and what they're looking for
2. Social proof to prove that you're great at your job
3. Your personal cell number
4. A direct response CTA in the p.s
The Equity Email has generated ListingLeads.com members millions of dollars in listing opportunities.
You'll notice that it's not your typical "Find Out How Much Your Home Is Worth" email.
The first sentence immediately increases the perceived value of what you're offering: I don't send an email like this often.
Then we "show the sweat" - give the reader an idea of how much work you put into creating these reports.
Then close with an offer.
Send it today and let's get you a listing appointment. :)
Here’s the reality: only 6–8% of your database is actually thinking about moving right now. Which means dialing for dollars isn’t just exhausting, it’s inefficient.
There’s a smarter play: let your marketing tell you who’s raising their hand. That’s what this campaign is built to do.
We call it “qualify through copy.” Here’s how it works:
- The subject line “What do buyers really want right now?” works as a filter. The only people opening are the ones curious about buyer demand… and those are your potential sellers.
- Once the email goes out, track your opens. That’s your call list for the week.
- The content itself delivers value: a data-backed list of what buyers want today. This positions you as the expert and keeps homeowners engaged, even if they’re not ready yet.
- Finally, the P.S.—“before you go”—is a soft call-to-action inspired by Dean Linnell’s Friday Morning Coffee Newsletter.
So don’t think of this as “just another email.” It’s a system. A subject line that qualifies, content that builds authority, and a closing line that creates opportunities. All you have to do is send it, and then follow up with the right people.
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 fantastic reel and built around a viral, share-worthy hook. It’s your chance to show your database exactly how you create demand, not just a listing, and to position yourself as the agent who brings a plan, not a hope.
Send it as-is, or add your own signature touches to show how you prepare and promote homes.

You’re not just sending an email, you’re making an offer. That’s the power of this campaign.
It’s built to surface serious buyers, fast. The subject line alone immediately qualifies your audience. If they open, they’re raising their hand.
From there, the copy is clear and direct: “I’m going to make you an offer in this email.” That line disarms people. It tells them you’re not here to waste their time, and you’re not offering another seminar, calculator, or generic home search.
Instead, you’re offering what today’s buyers actually want: A great deal.
It ends with a clear CTA: Reply “I’m Ready.”
And the P.S. adds just enough scarcity: you can only take on a few clients per month. That gives serious buyers a reason to act now.
If you have access to off-market deals, consider sending this version instead.
