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.
You’re going to love this strategy.
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.
This IG reel is fast, visual, and ridiculously easy to execute, but it’s also backed by real data from Zillow, NAHB, and HomeLight on what today’s buyers are actually looking for.
Post as-is or update any of the ten points to reflect what you’re seeing in your market.
Inspired by a killer reel from Rick J Lee, and built around the same psychology behind our “What’s the chance?” text, we’re lowering the bar and opening the loop.
“Getting back in the market” feels casual. The options feel safe. But the insight you get? Game-changing.
This one’s short, strategic, and built for engagement.
This Reel is for the sellers who are feeling anxious, and for the agents who want to speak to that emotion with honesty.
The campaign was inspired by a fantastic post from Shannon Gillette, who nailed what so many homeowners are feeling right now: “We’re doing everything right… so why hasn’t it sold?”
We took that message and reshaped it into a simple, text-based Reel you can post as-is with a reassuring message that normalizes slower sales and reminds sellers: it’s not just you, this is the market.
Update the “average days on market” to match your area, choose a reflective or trending audio, and post it.
If your Story views are strong but engagement is flat—this is the format to fix it.
We’ve been testing all kinds of ways to bring the “Deal of the Week” to Stories—and this one's a keeper.
It’s visual. It’s clever. And it mimics a play we’re seeing everywhere from top influencers: tease the value, show a receipt (like listing views), then drop the link behind an emoji.
Why does it work? Because it builds curiosity before it asks for action.
You’re not shouting “BUY!”—you’re drawing attention to demand. That alone makes this feel less like an ad, more like a can’t-miss opportunity.
The best part? You only need one slide. A Zillow screenshot. A few strategic details. A clear price anchor.
And everyone who clicks? That’s your follow-up list.
Not sure which listing to feature?
Start here:
- 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 the listing with heat behind it.
Use this format to test urgency, stay visible with buyers, and stay top of mind.
This Story poll is a simple way to turn views into conversations.
By offering specific options (price, feature, location), you give buyers an easy, non-intrusive way to raise their hand.
It works because it feels like help, not a sales pitch.
Customize the options based on what buyers in your market are actually searching for, then post.
When responses come in, check your DMs and follow up with confidence.
See below for recommended follow-up scripts to keep the convo going.
You’re not just selling homes. You’re selling certainty—in a market full of doubt.
The mistake? Thinking your experience speaks for itself. It doesn’t. Not anymore.
We saw this video by Dewayne Carpenter—just 90 seconds, no fluff, no hype—and it stopped us cold. It framed experience not as ego, but as an edge. And it did what most agent videos don’t: it made us feel the value of working with someone who’s done the reps.
So we reverse-engineered it.
We broke down the structure, reworked the beats, and wrote you a script that’s ready to record—without sounding like a script. Something you could put on your homepage, pin to your YouTube channel, or use as a trust-building asset when someone’s deciding whether to hit “schedule a call.”
This isn’t about flexing your résumé. It’s about translating experience into language the consumer actually understands—and values.
Use this to show—not tell—why working with you isn’t a gamble. It’s a shortcut.
Inventory's up. Some buyers are paying closer attention—but they haven’t all told an agent they’re looking.
This story helps you change that—without being pushy.
It’s a simple market update with a smart twist: a timely stat, a relatable poll, and a chance to spot who's quietly keeping tabs on new listings. Use it to stay visible, start conversations, and surface warm leads hiding in plain sight.
Pro tip: Anyone who taps the poll is showing interest. Send them a quick DM to start the conversation.
Note: You can swap “Zillow” with Realtor.ca, HouseSigma, or whatever’s most familiar to your audience.
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.
Not every lead gen post needs to be a market update or a polished Reel.
Sometimes, the best engagement comes from a simple question that gets people talking.
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?”
It’s light, local, and designed to stir the pot just enough.
Post it on your page. Better yet—drop it in your community Facebook group.You’ll learn what people really think—and keep yourself front and center in the process.
If you want to post a market update that actually gets attention—start here.
This Reel was inspired by Katie Day’s “5 Most Sold Neighborhoods” video, which pulled in over 15,000 views in less than a week.
Why? Because it’s simple, hyperlocal, and answers a question buyers and sellers actually care about:
Where are homes selling right now?
Use this at the end of the month to highlight the top-performing neighborhoods in your city—sales volume, average price, days on market. You can record a quick video breaking it down… or keep it simple and plug the numbers into our faceless template.
Either way, it’s a fast, effective way to stay visible, relevant, and valuable—without needing to over-explain the market.
Not every Story needs to be educational. Sometimes it just needs to start a conversation.

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).

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.
