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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

‍

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.

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.

Inspired by Ken Pozek’s Instagram Story, this is a perfect campaign to use when you want to convert through Instagram Stories—whether you have a Just Sold listing to promote or not.

‍

The reason why this campaign is so effective is that it leans into the “herd mentality”—the idea that consumers tend to follow the actions and choices of a larger group, often driven by social proof and the perception that popular decisions are the safest or best.

‍

If you’ve recently sold a home, use this campaign to showcase your listing. And if you haven’t recently sold a home, use it as an opportunity to showcase homes that have sold recently in a specific neighborhood for the same effect.

Most buyers walk into a home and see potential. They see possibilities, aesthetics, the way the space feels. But as an agent, your job isn’t just to see what is—it’s to spot what could be a problem before it becomes a regret. That’s the difference between an emotional decision and a smart investment.

Inspired by Marie Lee’s viral Instagram Reel, this perspective shift will help your clients make sharper, more informed choices.

Most sellers assume they need to spend thousands fixing up their home before listing. But what if that’s not actually the case?

This Instagram carousel doesn’t just challenge that assumption—it proves it wrong with a real success story. Instead of pushing renovations, it walks homeowners through a real-life example of a seller who skipped the costly upgrades, found the right buyer, and walked away with $XX,XXX more than they would have made with an iBuyer.

By the end, the message is clear: before they spend a dime, they should DM you first. Real results, real strategy, and a CTA designed to start conversations. Let’s get it posted!

Most sellers assume they need to spend thousands fixing up their home before listing. But what if that’s not actually the case?

This Instagram carousel is designed to challenge that assumption. Instead of pushing renovations, it shifts the focus to what actually matters—buyer demand, strategic positioning, and connecting with the right buyers.

The slides walk homeowners through a counterintuitive insight: upgrades aren’t always necessary, and in many cases, skipping them can lead to a faster, more profitable sale. By the end, the CTA is clear—before they spend a dime, they should DM you first.

Simple, effective, and built to spark engagement. Let’s get it posted!

A marketing message that speaks directly to a specific type of seller is far more powerful than a generic one.

By addressing their pain points head-on, you position yourself as the agent who knows how to get a home sold. 

Inspired by Tyler Drinkwater’s excellent Reel, this script calls out the biggest reason listings fail—poor positioning—and provides a clear path forward. 

Pair this with the Expired Marketing Blueprint to strengthen your strategy and establish yourself as the go-to expert.

A Just Sold carousel is a real estate marketing staple—and for good reason. It’s a compelling way to showcase real results, build trust, and plant the seed for future sellers. 

Originally inspired by Katie Lucie’s direct mail letter, this carousel repurposes that proven format for Instagram, making it easy to share your next impressive sale.

The hook? A striking price difference between an online estimate and the final sale. It keeps people swiping, reinforces the value of strategic marketing, and ends with a clear call to action.

POV hooks are powerful—and for good reason. They pull your audience in by speaking directly to their experience. That’s exactly what this campaign does: it gives you a chance to educate your followers about your off-market strategy while showing them how you uncover hidden opportunities.

Plus it’s incredibly simple to execute. No script, no voiceover—just b-roll from your camera roll (a neighborhood like in this example, a listing interior like in this example, even a front door like in this example). Overlay with text, and let the caption do the heavy lifting. It doesn’t need to be super polished, the priority here is a clear message.

The source of this data point mentioned in the description is from BatchService and surfaced by Lance Lambert, co-founder of ResiClub:
‍
According to an analysis by BatchService, approximately 1.2 million U.S. home sales in 2024 were conducted off-market. Given that the National Association of Realtors reported about 5 million existing-home sales in 2024, this suggests that roughly 24% of home sales occurred off-market.

This campaign isn’t just a Reel. It’s a chance to build trust, share your expertise, and position yourself as the agent who goes beyond what’s expected. Keep it real, keep it relatable—and don’t forget to end with a call to action that gets them to raise their hand.

In today’s market, finding the perfect home often means going beyond what’s listed online. Most buyers don’t realize that nearly 1 in 4 U.S. home sales happen off-market (Source: BatchService). This data point was surfaced by Lance Lambert, co-founder of ResiClub:

When something works, smart agents take note and adapt it for their own market. That’s exactly the inspiration behind this Instagram Reel script, modeled after Shaneé Dunbar, a Houston Realtor whose Reel went viral with over 938K views. Her simple yet compelling message—highlighting an affordable down payment and key features of a newly constructed quadplex—captured attention and generated massive engagement.

This script follows the same proven formula: showcase an attractive property, emphasize an accessible down payment, and highlight a standout feature or benefit. Pair the voiceover with eye-catching B-roll of the listing, and you’ve got a Reel that’s designed to stop scrolling and spark interest. Tailor it to your market, and let this strategy work for you.

This campaign leverages a surprising statistic to grab attention and spark curiosity.

With a simple poll, you can:

✅ Trigger curiosity from potential sellers 

✅ Identify leads who are actively considering selling 

✅ Open the door for deeper conversations about their 2025 plans

We’ve said it before—Instagram Stories are one of the best ways for uncovering hidden sellers.

This campaign is designed to trigger the consumers fear of missing out. 

By implying they should have received this report, it can elicit an emotion that they are missing out on important information.

Research by Zillow and The Harris Poll in November 2022 reveals that 65% of recent sellers completed at least two home improvement projects before listing.

This insight highlights why a video like Home Upgrades to Avoid is perfect for attracting bottom-of-funnel seller leads.

In fact, this video generated 10 times the views of her usual content by tackling this exact pain point, resonating deeply with sellers preparing to list.

Instagram Stories are the perfect platform for generating inbound seller leads. 

We know that over 80% of sellers invest in a home improvement project prior to selling. So by leveraging an Instagram story, we can provide value to our audience and uncover some hidden sellers.

Ken Pozek shared an Instagram REEL that generated 600,000+ views.In the instagram REEL, he simply highlighted the recent changes to the median sales price of single family homes in the greater Orlando area.This campaign worked because the data was insanely easy to digest and he has a built in audience.My recommendation would be to boost this REEL if you have a smaller audience to get this data in front of more people.

In today’s competitive real estate market, showcasing the extensive work that goes into selling a home is essential. This not only demonstrates the unique value proposition of a dedicated agent but also helps potential clients understand the full scope of services provided. By highlighting the marketing efforts, negotiations, prospecting, and professional photography and video production involved, you can set yourself apart and attract more clients.

This campaign recently generated @modernchicagohomes over 15 high-intent seller leads from an Instagram Story. My advice is to be posting this 2-3 times a quarter.

We all know that unsolicited CMAs work.

What you need to do next is take your most marketable CMAs and turn them into IG stories to generate seller leads every week. 

The process goes like this:

1. Do 5-10 CMAs per week.

2. Highlight the most notable one.

3. Create a story on IG.

4. Add the poll. (see example below) 

5. DM everyone who opts in.

This is how you generate high-quality leads without paying a profit-crushing referral fee.

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.

Using Instagram carousel posts to showcase a successful sale can have a powerful impact on potential clients. Highlighting key aspects such as selling a home above the Zestimate, detailed marketing strategies, high-quality photography, effective staging, and positive client testimonials can demonstrate an agent's competence and dedication.

Value of Showcasing Work:

1. Builds Credibility: Demonstrates the agent's expertise and success in the field.
2. Enhances Trust: Transparency about the process reassures potential clients.
3. Influences Decisions: Positive outcomes and satisfied customers encourage new clients to choose the agent.
4. Visual Appeal: High-quality images and testimonials make the post engaging and persuasive.
   
   

By effectively highlighting these aspects, agents can significantly influence consumer decisions, leveraging social proof and showcasing their value proposition to attract new clients.

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. 🚀

Vanessa Reilly shared another Instagram strategy that she's using to start more conversations on social…

‍

This "Make Me Move" IG story resulted in 5 conversions, and 1 seller nurture. 🤯

‍

Instagram Stories are fantastic for creating opportunities—and strategies like this one, using the Question box plus killer copy, make it so insanely simple to capture inbound leads.

‍

Don't sleep on stories.

‍

There's magic here. ⬇️

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.

You can post this today. ⬇️

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.

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!

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.

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. ⬇️

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.
