Social Shareables
Youâve 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 canât resist chiming in.
This template was directly inspired by Austin Klarâs video âI Ranked San Franciscoâs BEST Neighborhoods (Tier List),â 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 youâre ready to upload, weâve even included a YouTube title and description you can copy-paste to maximize reach.
When something works, donât 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 canât ignore - price reductions in their area this week - and then ask the question that matters: âWhatâs holding you back from buying?â
Thatâs it. Donât overthink it. Donât over-design it.
Just post it.
If it doesnât already, the âDeal of the Weekâ should live in your weekly SOPs. Every week, find the hottest new listing in your market - whether itâs yours or someone elseâs (always get the listing agentâs permission first) - and turn it into a reason for people to stop, share, and engage.
This week, the hook is a simple POV line: âYouâre not planning to move but then this comes on the market in [Area].â Notice whatâs missing too: weâre 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.
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 50â70 listings.
From there, zero in on the one with the highest saves or viewsâthatâs your Deal of the Week.

This week, weâre running a new hook: âshare this with a friend.â Itâs a simple line, but itâs the same psychology behind some of the most viral IG posts. Notice whatâs missing too: weâre not dropping the price. Just beds, baths, and location with a clean grid of photos.

Generic âmarket updateâ videos fall flat. What gets views - and leads - are hyper-specific comparisons that answer the exact questions buyers are already asking.
Thatâs why these neighborhood vs. neighborhood breakdowns perform so well. When Chris Colgan ran this style of video, it pulled in over 8,200 views, because it combined three things: a compelling hook, hyper-local data, and genuine educational value.
Thatâs what makes this format so powerful: it turns you into the local guide who helps buyers see past the price tag and into the real trade-offs that shape their lives.
This template gives you the structure. Plug in your local neighborhoods, your stats, and your perspective, and youâll have a video that not only attracts views, but also positions you as the advisor buyers trust when itâs time to choose.
We already know unsolicited CMAs work. But the agents who consistently generate seller leads donât stop thereâthey turn their best CMAs into social content that drives action. Thatâs why this IG poll is one of our top-performing shareables at ListingLeads.
Hereâs the play: run 5â10 CMAs a week, pick the one that grabs attention, and post it as a story. Lead with the gapââtheir Zestimate was off by $39,000ââbecause thatâs 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.

Stop giving people everything up front. Curiosity is what drives conversations, and the agent who has the most conversations wins.
Thatâs why this weekâs campaign leans into the power of the tease. Instead of dumping all the details, youâre anchoring attention with one bold statement: Feels like $X. Costs under $Y.
From there, you give them just enough:Â a few strong photos, the bed count, and the neighborhood.
Then you finish with a simple poll. The goal isnât to sell the home in one story, itâs to spark interest and invite engagement.

Instagram Stories is where you capture leads. Thatâs why we lean so heavily on polls, theyâre one of the fastest, easiest ways to spark real conversations in your DMs.
This one is what we call a situational poll. Itâs simple, conversational, and itâs proven to work time and time again for our community. By asking people where theyâre 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, youâve got the perfect opening to follow up and keep the conversation going.
Just because itâs on the MLS doesnât mean itâs being marketed.
Thatâs the gap most sellers donât realize existsâand 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 Gilletteâs reel and built around a viral hook. Itâs your chance to show your followers exactly how you create demand, not just a listingâand 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 thatâs 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.

Sometimes the best way to stand out is to zig when everyone else zags.
Thatâs 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 Hereâs neighborhood reel. The result? A scroll-stopper that makes people curious about places they didnât even know they should be looking.
Youâre showing them what it feels like to live there, through photos that capture the streets, scenery, and everyday life. Itâs 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 youâve got a relocation guide? Drop it in the caption or offer it as the CTA, this is exactly the moment to use it.
Want more homeowners to raise their hand? Donât ask for too much too soon.
This Instagram Story is built around a simple truth: The first step is always the hardest step. So make the first step a small step.
It uses the viral âThis is your signâŚâ format to lower the barrier and the poll finishes the job:
â How do I do that?
â I want an updated report
Itâs casual, quick, and easy to post today.
You had me at âexposed brick and green marble kitchen.â
Thatâs the line from one of Chesley McCartyâs recent Reels that went viral - and itâs the inspiration for this weekâs Deal of the Week Instagram Story campaign.
Hereâs 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.Â
Wrap it with a poll:
â Yes please
â Interested
Why this format works: It builds just enough curiosity to start a conversationâwithout 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

Sometimes your best content ideas donât come from other agents, they come from the creators outside our industry who are racking up millions of views.
Thatâs exactly where this Reel started. We found a viral post from @emilymacleodwellness thatâs been viewed 3M times, and rebuilt the format for you.
Hereâs why it works:
- âInnocent lookingâ hits harder than âcommon mistakes.â
- It speaks directly to homeowners, and taps into a shared fear: no one wants their home to feel cheap.
- Itâs a clean listicle. Ten finishes. Scannable. Watchable. Easy to share.
The best part? You donât have to film anything. Weâve 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.
âThis andâŚâ 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, goldenâhour dinners on the deck, a run through the park. Itâs not about selling a feature; itâs about letting them feel it.
Thatâs why this viral hook stops the scroll. Itâs simple, fast, and ridiculously flexible, perfect for highlighting a listing, showcasing a neighborhood, or sharing a lifestyle moment. Below, youâll find a list of readyâmade hooks to spark ideas, or use them as inspiration to create your own. Pair one with a short clip or photo, and youâre inviting people into a feeling theyâll want to step into.
