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.

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.
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.
