If it doesn’t already, the “Deal of the Week” should live in your weekly SOPs. Every week, find the hottest new listing in your market - and turn it into a reason for people to stop, share, and engage.
We know: you can’t always get the listing agent’s permission to share the photos of your Deal of the Week. That’s why we created this template.
Follow the instructions below on how to edit the template in Canva and post to Instagram.
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 50–70 listings.
From there, zero in on the one with the highest saves or views—that’s your Deal of the Week.
Fannie Mae is projecting rates to slide under 6% by the end of 2026. That gets people thinking: At what point would I finally jump in?
That’s the question this Story is built around. By asking followers for their “magic” mortgage rate, you’re not only sparking engagement—you’re qualifying your audience. Anyone who responds is signaling intent, curiosity, or at least awareness of where rates are headed.
And that’s the win here: a simple poll that creates interaction, reveals buying signals, and keeps you top of mind when the timing feels right. We’ve even included a recommended follow-up script to make those conversations easy.
This script is a positioning tool. The hook gets attention because it taps into the question everyone’s asking: what happens if rates fall further? That curiosity is your opening to share insights that matter.
The strength of this video is in how it frames the numbers. You’re not dumping stats, you’re connecting them to real decisions buyers and sellers are weighing right now: affordability, confidence, and timing. That’s what makes you the trusted guide, not just another voice repeating headlines.
Bottom line: use this video to show authority, spark conversations, and keep yourself top of mind when people start making moves.
This one’s a quick poll with a clear purpose.
You’re pairing a timely market stat with a forward-looking “If this, then I will…” prompt so it feels relevant and personal. That combo works (we’ve tested it).
Use it to surface hand raisers without asking anyone to commit. Just curiosity, timing, and intent.
Easy for them to answer. Valuable for you to track.

The stat leads: “There are now 518,801 more home sellers than homebuyers in the U.S.”
Then the question: “If more homes come on the market, I will…”
→ Consider buying in 2025
→ Look for investment property
→ Wait until 2026

Stop guessing what spooks sellers. Ask them. This story poll is a one-tap filter. It trades long DMs for quick signal and surfaces real hand-raisers without pressure. The question is simple on purpose. Multiple choice. Easy to answer. You’ll learn what feels most risky and you’ll know who to follow up with first.
We’ve even included the follow-up script so you know exactly what to say when someone responds. Post the poll, watch the votes, and start the right conversations with the right people.
An FHFA study found the lock-in effect kept 1.3 million homeowners from selling between Q2 2022 and Q4 2023. Now with rates dropping, we could see more buyers and sellers re-enter the market.
That’s why this Instagram story series works: it builds the narrative step by step, grounding your audience in data, then connecting it to what’s happening right now. By the third slide, you’re not asking a yes-or-no question about moving - you’re meeting people where they are with a softer entry: At what rate would you consider re-entering the market?
It’s low-friction, easy to engage, and a natural segue into conversation. And with the included follow-up script below, you’re equipped to turn story interactions into meaningful one-on-one chats.

Hidden towns drive outsized attention - and action.
Eric Meldrum proved it: his “7 Detroit-ish Towns Locals LOVE” pulled 55× more views than his average video. That’s not luck. It’s a format buyers can’t scroll past and locals can’t resist sharing. And with more buyers re-entering the market as rates ease, this is the moment to spotlight the places that don’t make the glossy lists.
Your role: be the guide. Lead with a bold promise, anchor it in simple lifestyle wins, and let the “locals-only” angle do the heavy lifting. We built a plug-and-play template so you can move fast, stay credible, and convert attention into calls.
Use this to film your own “underrated towns” video - swap in your markets, hit record, and go.
You’ve 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 can’t resist chiming in.
This template was directly inspired by Austin Klar’s video “I Ranked San Francisco’s BEST Neighborhoods (Tier List),” 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 you’re ready to upload, we’ve even included a YouTube title and description you can copy-paste to maximize reach.
When something works, don’t 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 can’t ignore - price reductions in their area this week - and then ask the question that matters: “What’s holding you back from buying?”
That’s it. Don’t overthink it. Don’t over-design it.
Just post it.
If it doesn’t already, the “Deal of the Week” should live in your weekly SOPs. Every week, find the hottest new listing in your market - whether it’s yours or someone else’s (always get the listing agent’s permission first) - and turn it into a reason for people to stop, share, and engage.
This week, the hook is a simple POV line: “You’re not planning to move but then this comes on the market in [Area].” Notice what’s missing too: we’re 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.

This week, we’re running a new hook: “share this with a friend.” It’s a simple line, but it’s the same psychology behind some of the most viral IG posts. Notice what’s missing too: we’re 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.

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.

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.

Most buyers think a “deal” means the lowest price.
But real value? It’s more nuanced.
This carousel is designed to educate your audience.
To train their eye.
To help them understand what makes a home undervalued—even if it doesn’t look like a steal on paper.
From location perks to price gaps to hidden upside, you’re not just posting listings—you’re teaching buyers how to spot opportunity.
Pro tip: The more specific you make it to your market, the more valuable—and irreplaceable—it becomes. This is the kind of content they can’t find on Zillow.
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.
Sometimes the best way to start a conversation is to ask a question.
This Instagram Story series is designed to engage Silver Tsunami sellers by inviting them into the process—not pushing them through it. By framing it as a simple market survey, you create a safe, judgment-free space for them to reflect on what’s driving their decisions and what’s holding them back.
It builds trust, surfaces valuable insights, and opens the door to future conversations.Pro-Tip: Follow up with everyone who responds to your IG Poll.
