Social Shareables
Not every Story needs to be educational. Sometimes it just needs to start a conversation.
This one came from Jeremy Knight—he posted it to his Facebook page and the comments took off. It’s bold enough to spark reactions, but casual enough to feel like a real conversation starter: “A client just asked me what [Area]’s most overrated neighborhood is. 😳 I think I know the answer…what do you think?”
Add a question box. That’s it.
It’s local. It’s fun. And it gets people talking. You’ll spark DMs, get a read on public opinion, maybe even uncover a few strong opinions to share (anonymously or not—your call).
We’ve been testing a lot of ways to bring the Deal of the Week strategy to Stories—and this one’s a winner.
It’s 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 slides—hook → details → standout features—then 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 Leads—and 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.
This is the kind of content buyers actually save.
It answers a question they’re already thinking about—“Can I make a low offer?”—and gives them a smart, helpful framework for when and how that works.
The beauty of this Reel? You don’t even need to be on camera.
The caption does the heavy lifting, walking through timing, terms, and tone—while 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. It’s timely, relevant—and likely to resonate.
After analyzing thousands of real estate creators, we’ve noticed a trend: the highest-engagement polls are often the most casual. They feel like a text from a friend, not a marketing post. That’s exactly what this story is designed to do.
Starting with “Debated not posting this…” immediately disarms your audience. It signals vulnerability and curiosity—two powerful triggers that drive replies, votes, and DMs. Pair that with a low-maintenance design and a simple poll format, and you’ve 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 conversations—and gives you a soft way to reintroduce helpful guidance.
This Reel taps into a trend that’s everywhere right now (like here) — and for good reason.
It’s not just funny. It’s tribal. It’s us vs. them, but in the most charming, slightly unhinged, deeply relatable way.
“[Your City] Propaganda I Am Absolutely Falling For” 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 — 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 — you’re one of them
And best of all? It’s ridiculously easy to make. Swap in your city, riff on 15 local one-liners, hit post, and watch the comments roll in: “ALL OF THE ABOVE ❤️” “Felt way too seen 😭” “Okay but why is this actually true?”
Some will laugh, some will argue, and some will start adding their own. That’s when you know it’s working.
We hear it all the time from top agents: "The marketing was so good, my sellers joked they didn’t want to move anymore."
That insight sparked this post.
We turned it into a carousel with a hook that sellers (and future clients) can’t ignore:
“Every seller we work with has second thoughts right before we list.”
Because this is your moment to show the sweat—to 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 it’s time to sell
Smart. Emotional. Sharable.That’s the kind of marketing that sells homes and builds your brand.
This Reel was inspired by a viral post from Lucky to Live Here:
“Houses that sold with the highest taxes in 2025 on Long Island.”
It’s hyper-local, data-driven, and built for curiosity clicks.
We’ve turned that idea into a customizable Instagram Reel template for your market.
Pick the hook that fits your area best:
→ The steepest price cuts
→ The highest taxes
→ The longest or shortest days on market
→ The highest monthly payments
Then showcase 3–4 recent sales with that stat front and center. Quick to make, easy to engage—and a smart way to start conversations

This one’s built to spark engagement—and get your clients thinking.
Homeowners pulled $25B in equity last quarter, the highest Q1 total since 2008. On average, they’re 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?
It’s a soft entry point into deeper DMs—and 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 accepted—and 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.
You’ll 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 you’re looking for a smart, steady way to show up this week—this 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 what’s actually happening—without 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.
Here’s the post—just plug in the neighborhood:
“This is 1 of 4 homes that just had a price drop…
…in one of the hottest neighborhoods in [City Name].
Should I send you the other 3?? They're all priced below recent comps.”
→ Yes, I’m curious → Show me the deals
Selling a home is rarely as simple—or as fast—as people expect.
That’s why we created this carousel: to walk future sellers through what the process actually feels like. The decisions, the doubts, the waiting, the wins.
It’s not meant to capture every scenario. Instead, it offers a realistic, emotionally honest timeline to help set better expectations—especially in a market where things are taking longer and patience matters more than ever.
Just one note: you’ll want to edit Slide 7 to reflect the average days on market in your area.Use it as-is—or tweak the timeline to better fit what you’re seeing with your clients.
This Reel flips the narrative—and that’s exactly why it works.
Most buyers have a surface-level impression of your area: traffic, sprawl, or sky-high prices. But that’s not the whole story.
Inspired by Marie Lee’s viral Instagram Reel, this format is a smart way to shift perception in 7 seconds or less.
Here’s why it works:
- It creates contrast—what people think vs. what’s true.
- It uses humor and visual storytelling to reframe objections.
- It builds local pride while educating your audience.
A few example angles you could use:
- “When I say I live in East Nashville, they think I mean Broadway crowds… but I really mean tree-lined streets and neighbors who bring you sourdough.”
- “When I say I’m in Miami, they picture traffic on I-95… but I’m really biking to a quiet café two blocks from the bay.”
- “When I say I live in Jersey City, people think it’s just high-rises and PATH trains… but I really mean farmers markets and parks with skyline views.”
- “When I say I live in Scottsdale, they think I mean golf courses and gated communities… but I really mean trails, tacos, and sunset hikes after work.”
Use this Reel to reclaim the narrative—and connect with buyers who want what you see every day.
Sometimes the best lead gen is just asking the right question.
This Instagram Poll does more than boost engagement—it gives you real-time insight into what’s actually holding people back from selling.
Here’s what makes it effective:
- It meets sellers where they are: stuck in limbo.
- It surfaces objections without making it about you.
- It creates a low-risk way for followers to raise their hand.
Use it to start DMs, guide your content, and tailor your follow-ups.
