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.
This script is designed for homeowners struggling to get their home sold—sellers who are frustrated, uncertain, and looking for real answers.
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.
How to Create Your Instagram Reel
Step 1: Use our script to create your Instagram Reel
Step 2: Create or Upload Your Reel
Record a Reel using Instagram's camera or upload a pre-recorded video from your phone.
Step 3: Edit Your Reel
Add effects, music, and text as needed.
Step 4: Proceed to the Share Screen
Tap Next after editing your Reel to move to the final screen where you add captions and tags.
Step 5: Use the Canva template below to create your Instagram Reel cover
Use your brand colors to customize it to your unique brand. Save it to your camera roll.
Step 6: Select the Cover
On the Share Screen, look for the "Cover" option (usually beneath or near the preview of your Reel).
Tap "Cover" to open the editor.
Tap "Add from Camera Roll" to upload the image.
Step 7: Crop and Adjust (Optional)
Instagram lets you adjust the placement of the image for the grid preview (the square format seen on your profile). Use the grid view to ensure the most important part of the image is centered.
Step 8: Save and Post
Tap Done after selecting the cover. Add your caption, tags, and other details which are all provided below, then post your Reel.
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.
Use the Video Description below as your Instagram Reel caption.
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:
- Builds Credibility: Demonstrates the agent's expertise and success in the field.
- Enhances Trust: Transparency about the process reassures potential clients.
- Influences Decisions: Positive outcomes and satisfied customers encourage new clients to choose the agent.
- 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.
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.
