Did you know that 65% of home sellers say they prioritize speed over price when choosing an agent?
Sellers who want to sell fast are highly motivated, making them some of the best prospects you can attract.
To win their trust and business, you need content that not only speaks to their urgency but also answers their key questions and eases their concerns. Crafting the right message can tap into the psychology of decision-making, positioning you as their go-to expert.
One of the best ways to capture attention is to use a surprising statistics to stop the scroll.
By using this Instagram tactic—a simple poll or engaging post—you can:
✅ Spark curiosity with potential sellers
✅ Identify motivated leads based on their answers
✅ Build trust by offering expert insights on their options
Recent research by Zillow and The Harris Poll tells us that 65% of recent sellers completed at least two home improvement projects before listing.
This insight highlights why a video like Home Upgrades to Avoid is perfect for attracting bottom-of-funnel seller leads.
In fact, this video generated 10 times the views of her usual content by tackling this exact pain point, resonating deeply with sellers preparing to list.
Instagram Stories are the perfect platform for generating inbound seller leads.
We know that over 80% of sellers invest in a home improvement project prior to selling. So by leveraging an Instagram story, we can provide value to our audience and uncover some hidden sellers.
We’re leveraging a recent prediction made by Goldman Sachs to create a poll to generate inbound sellers leads from instagram.
Instagram polls are currently used daily by 70% of Instagram Users.

This week’s video already has 45,000 views in less than 4 months. It’s a high-performing outlier video that can help establish you as an expert in your market. My recommendation is to personalize this video with data/insight from the market in your area to add your own hyper-local twist.

This video was posted in August of 2023 and has generated almost 43,000 views.
The reason I’m featuring it as the video of the week is because it’s the PERFECT bottom-of-funnel video that can lead to high-quality seller leads.
Boo Maddox pulled me aside after wrapping up a morning training session with Sharran to let me know that this EXACT sales question is helping unlock great conversations with prospects.
Traci Cornwell posted it on her Facebook profile and has already generated 33 comments.
I love this as a simple conversation starter to create great engagement on Facebook.
Sam Reifman-Packett has grown his instagram following from 1300 followers to 23,000 in just over 12 months. More importantly, he’s generated $135,000 GCI from Instagram.
This poll generated 45 leads for him. That’s why we’re featuring in this week’s plan.
Hook:
"Hi friends, I'm [insert agent name] with [insert company name], and today I'm excited to introduce you to an extraordinary [insert number of bedrooms]-bedroom, [insert number of bathrooms]-bath [insert home style, e.g., contemporary oasis] right here in [insert location/neighborhood]. Nestled behind a [insert feature, e.g., private gate], this stunning home offers [insert feature 1, e.g., panoramic city views], [insert feature 2, e.g., a luxurious rooftop pool], [insert feature 3, e.g., a state-of-the-art home theater], and [insert feature 4, e.g., ultimate privacy], all available for [insert price range, e.g., under a million dollars]. So, let's step inside and discover all that this remarkable property has to offer!"

The YouTube channel Living in Columbus, Ohio has 3,870 subscribers, with an average video garnering between 300 to 500 views. That’s why we’re featuring the “Avoid Moving to Columbus” video, which has surpassed 99,000 views—100X his typical view count.
In this week’s featured video, we’ve included alternative headlines, hooks, descriptions, show structure, and channel art you can use to create a viral video like Brad's.
I’d highly recommend watching Brad’s video to get started.
Zillow’s report shows that the average homeowner spends 6-7 months considering selling before making a move.
That’s why it’s crucial for us to consistently stay in front of them—both in their inbox and on their social feeds.
This campaign is crafted to demonstrate that we understand their journey and are ready to guide them every step of the way.
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.
