POV hooks are effective because they tap into real, relatable experiences. That’s exactly what this campaign does: POV: Downsizing gives you the chance to connect with homeowners who might be quietly wrestling with the decision to downsize.
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.
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 make sure to end with a call to action that invites them to engage, like commenting GUIDE to take the next step.
Use the Video Description below as your Instagram Reel caption.
In today’s market, finding the perfect home often means going beyond what’s listed online. Most buyers don’t realize that nearly 1 in 4 U.S. home sales happen off-market (Source: BatchService). This data point was 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 carousel post is designed to show how you provide exclusive opportunities that others can’t—and how this strategy helps you connect with serious buyers who are ready to act.
It’s not just about homes—it’s about positioning yourself as the expert with a unique process for uncovering hidden opportunities. Customize the steps to reflect your own approach—whether it’s door knocking, direct mail, or tapping into your network—and emphasize the value you bring through your connections and expertise. By the final slide, you’ll inspire confidence and position yourself as the agent serious buyers trust to deliver results.
End with a clear call to action, encouraging buyers to DM you for access to your VIP list.
If you’re working with qualified buyers but struggling to find the right homes, you’re not stuck—you’re set up for a Magic Buyer strategy.
This approach doesn’t just help your buyers; it sparks conversations, builds relationships, and uncovers off-market opportunities.
Think of this Instagram Reel script as your Magic Buyer “Roundup”—a chance to represent multiple buyers at once while positioning yourself as the agent who goes the extra mile.
As you adapt it to your audience, make sure to:
- Highlight who your buyers are.
- Provide the criteria of what they’re looking for.
- End with a direct response CTA to drive action.

When something works, smart agents take note and adapt it for their own market. That’s exactly the inspiration behind this Instagram Reel script, modeled after Shaneé Dunbar, a Houston Realtor whose Reel went viral with over 938K views. Her simple yet compelling message—highlighting an affordable down payment and key features of a newly constructed quadplex—captured attention and generated massive engagement.
This script follows the same proven formula: showcase an attractive property, emphasize an accessible down payment, and highlight a standout feature or benefit. Pair the voiceover with eye-catching B-roll of the listing, and you’ve got a Reel that’s designed to stop scrolling and spark interest. Tailor it to your market, and let this strategy work for you.

This campaign leverages a surprising statistic to grab attention and spark curiosity.
With a simple poll, you can:
✅ Trigger curiosity from potential sellers
✅ Identify leads who are actively considering selling
✅ Open the door for deeper conversations about their 2025 plans
We’ve said it before—Instagram Stories are one of the best ways for uncovering hidden sellers.
This campaign is designed to trigger the consumers fear of missing out.
By implying they should have received this report, it can elicit an emotion that they are missing out on important information.
Which then – creates an opportunity for you to connect, engage and build a new relationship with an abandoned seller.
This is the time of the year to take your victory lap. You’ve worked hard all year and it’s time to celebrate your milestones. This is a great opportunity to show off your results and express your gratitude.

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.
That’s why we’re adapting this proven tactic using this new strategy for both Instagram Stories and Instagram Carousel post.

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.
