What Top-Producing Real Estate Agents Already Know

Real estate is a visual business. Social media is where buyers spend significant time researching properties.

Yet most agents post inconsistently, use generic captions, and wonder why their listings don't get traction. The solution? A consistent content calendar and platform-optimized posts.

Content Strategy That Actually Works

The 60/30/10 Rule for Real Estate Social Media

Use our content planning tool to stay consistent. Generate posts promoting free buyer/seller guides with our lead magnet post generator.

11 Types of Posts Every Agent Should Use

1. Just Listed

Create excitement with teaser photos and key highlights. Use carousel posts to showcase multiple rooms. Include price, beds/baths, square footage, and standout features.

2. Just Sold

Celebrate wins and show you're active. Thank the buyers/sellers. Share what made the property special and why it sold quickly. This builds social proof.

3. Open House Announcements

Post 1 week before, 3 days before, and day-of. Use countdown stickers on Stories. Include incentives (refreshments, prize drawing) to drive attendance.

4. Market Updates

Share monthly stats on median prices, inventory levels, days on market. Use infographics. Position yourself as the local market expert who stays on top of trends.

5. Price Reductions

Frame as opportunity, not desperation. "New pricing means new possibilities!" Highlight why the property is still a great value at the adjusted price.

6. Client Testimonials

Share video testimonials or quote graphics. Real stories from happy clients build trust more than any sales pitch. Always ask permission first.

7. Neighborhood Spotlights

Highlight local restaurants, parks, schools, events. Show you know the area inside and out. Tag local businesses for cross-promotion and community building.

8. Tips for Buyers/Sellers

Share actionable advice: staging tips, what to look for in inspections, how to prepare for showings, negotiation strategies. Educational content = authority.

9. Before & After Transformations

Show the power of staging, renovations, or even just good photography. These posts get massive engagement. Swipe/carousel format works best.

10. Behind-the-Scenes

Show the human side: setting up for showings, preparing for photo shoots, celebrating closings. People want to work with real people, not robots.

11. Interactive Q&A Posts

Use Instagram Stories Q&A stickers or Facebook polls. Answer common buyer/seller questions. Save answers to Story Highlights for future reference.

Writing Captions That Convert

The 5-Part Caption Formula

  1. 1. Hook (First Line): Grab attention immediately. Ask a question, make a bold statement, or create curiosity. First 125 characters show before "read more" on Instagram.
  2. 2. Story/Context: Share the unique story of the property. What makes it special? Who would love living here? Paint the picture of the lifestyle, not just the house.
  3. 3. Features & Benefits: List key features but focus on benefits. Not "granite countertops" but "entertain effortlessly in this chef's kitchen with granite countertops."
  4. 4. Social Proof: Add urgency or credibility. "2 offers already!" or "Best school district in the county" or "Walk to everything: coffee, parks, dining."
  5. 5. Call-to-Action: Tell them what to do next. "DM for private tour" or "Link in bio for full photos" or "Tag someone who needs to see this!"

Frequently Asked Questions

How can real estate agents use social media to generate more leads?

Real estate agents can generate leads through consistent posting of listings, market updates, and valuable content. Post 1-2 times daily on Instagram and Facebook, use local hashtags, share client testimonials, create property tour videos, engage with comments within 1 hour, and use Stories for behind-the-scenes content. Include clear calls-to-action directing followers to DM you or visit your website. Mix listing posts (60%) with educational content and personal branding (40%) to build trust and position yourself as the local market expert.

What type of real estate posts get the most engagement on Instagram?

Property carousel posts with 5-10 high-quality images get the highest engagement on Instagram, followed by video tours and before/after renovation content. Just listed/just sold announcements with compelling visuals perform well. Posts asking questions like 'Which kitchen would you choose?' or 'What's your must-have feature?' drive comments. Behind-the-scenes content showing the agent's day, client success stories, and local neighborhood spotlights also generate strong engagement. Use 8-15 relevant hashtags and post during peak times (9-11 AM or 7-9 PM).

Should real estate agents post the same content on all social media platforms?

No, each platform requires adapted content. Instagram works best for visual property showcases, Stories, and Reels. Use carousel posts and high-quality photos. Facebook is ideal for longer posts, community engagement, event announcements, and local market updates. It also allows direct lead generation through Marketplace. LinkedIn should focus on professional content like market analysis, industry insights, and thought leadership rather than individual listings. While you can cross-post, always optimize the format, caption length, and hashtags for each specific platform.

How often should realtors post on social media?

For optimal results: Instagram - 1-2 feed posts daily plus 3-7 Stories; Facebook - 1-2 posts daily; LinkedIn - 3-5 posts per week. Consistency matters more than frequency. Create a content calendar mixing listing announcements (60%) with value-driven content like market tips, neighborhood guides, and personal insights (40%). Avoid posting multiple listings in a row. Space them out with educational or engaging content. Use scheduling tools to maintain consistency even during busy periods.

What hashtags should real estate agents use on Instagram?

Use a mix of 8-15 hashtags combining general real estate tags (#RealEstate #Realtor #HomeForSale #JustListed), location-specific tags (#[YourCity]RealEstate #[YourCity]Homes #[Neighborhood]Living), property type tags (#LuxuryHomes #CondoLiving #FirstHome), and niche tags (#ModernHome #HistoricHome #WaterfrontProperty). Create a branded hashtag for your business. Research local competitors' successful hashtags. Avoid banned or overly saturated hashtags. Rotate hashtag sets to avoid appearing spammy. Place hashtags in the first comment to keep captions clean.

What's the best way to promote open houses on social media?

Start promoting 1 week before the open house. Create a countdown series with teaser photos. Day of the event, use Instagram and Facebook Stories to post live updates, tours, and highlights. Include all key details: date, time, address, special features, and RSVP instructions. Use eye-catching graphics or video walkthroughs. Tag the location and use local hashtags. Post in local community Facebook groups (where allowed). Offer incentives like refreshments or prize drawings. After the event, share success posts thanking attendees and announcing any offers received to create urgency for future showings.
