Realtors, if you’re ever stuck staring at your phone wondering what to post, use this.

This audio is about to pop, and it works best when you pair it with clear hooks and simple B-roll, not overproduced content.

Here are a few easy ways to use it 👇🏼

• “Moving to [your city]? Save this.”
Add your relocation guide CTA in the caption.

• A quick Just Listed → Just Sold clip
Show the home, hit the beat, drop the SOLD sign.

• “Day 4 of sharing how I help busy buyers do this without the stress”
Speak directly to the people you want more of.

• “POV: I left my 9–5 to sell homes in [your city]. Here’s how it’s going.”
Use the caption to tell the real story.

• “The Realtor vs the results”
Start with you, then show testimonials or wins.

• “POV: You finally find the one… but so did 10 other buyers”
Explain how you’d help them win the deal.

A few more hooks you can plug in right now:

🪝 Zillow scrolling vs walking into this
🪝 What it actually takes to buy in [your city] right now
🪝 What $500k gets you in [your city] today vs a few years ago
🪝 I’ve toured a lot of homes lately. Here’s the biggest red flag I keep seeing

If posting feels harder than it should be, there is a reason for it 👇🏼

You will want to SAVE this so you can revisit it later 📌

You are pouring so much of yourself into your clients, your family, and your business, but the pressure to go viral makes you feel like nothing you post is ever enough. And it is exhausting.

Here is the truth you have not been told. Viral content is not what grows your business. Consistent, clear, story-driven content that builds trust is what brings clients to you.

And once you understand that, everything feels lighter.

Here is what actually helps you grow without chasing trends or views:

Content that shows your personality
• People hire you because of who you are. Your warmth, your honesty, your style. Not the trending audio you used last week.

Content that speaks directly to the people you want to work with
• You are not talking to the entire internet. You are speaking to the homeowner who has been quietly watching you for months.

Content that reflects your real life, not a perfect one
• You do not need to hide the fact that you are juggling family and business. That is what makes you relatable and trustworthy.

Content that educates, reassures, and builds confidence
• Most people are scared to buy or sell. Your job is to help them feel safe and supported, not overwhelmed with market jargon.

Content that feels like a conversation
• When people feel connected to you, they comment more, share more, and reach out faster.

You do not need a viral moment. You need content that tells the truth about who you are and why people love working with you.

If you want to stop guessing and finally post with confidence, I made something that helps you get there fast.

Comment TEMPLATES, and I will send you five plug-and-play posts that help you get visible, connect with the right people, and make posting feel simple again.

If you are doing everything you can to stay visible online but still feel confused about social media, this is why 👇🏼

You will want to SAVE this so you can come back to it later 📌

I did not start in real estate.
I came from the healthcare industry, and social media was just a creative outlet for me.

Then I started paying attention.

I watched smart, capable, hardworking Realtors given advice that sounded easy but led nowhere.
Not because you do not care.
But because you do not have time for vague advice like “just post” or “be consistent.”
In
After coaching 350+ real estate professionals, one problem kept popping up.

Terrible advice.

And these are the three biggest issues I saw over and over again 👇🏼

Treating every platform the same
• Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google Business Profile all work differently. Posting the same generic content everywhere is why nothing gains traction.

Relying on brokerage templates
• They are built to be safe, not effective. When everyone posts the same thing, no one stands out or builds trust.

Being told social media is set it and forget it
• Real visibility comes from strategy, intention, and understanding how people actually make decisions online.

This is why something that started as fun turned into a business for me.

Because Realtors do not need more content.
They need better guidance.

If you have ever felt like the advice you were given did not sit right, it is not you.

It is the advice.

If I’m being honest, this is coming from real experience👇🏼

Lately, I’ve been reaching out to Realtors in the DMs to connect because we’re starting to look at buying a house.

Most messages aren’t even being opened.
Not replied to.
Not acknowledged.

They’re just sitting there.

You don’t have a lead problem.
You have a follow-through problem.

Those ignored DMs are not random messages.
They are real people with real intent and real money behind them.

When someone takes the time to message you, that’s interest.
That’s trust starting to form.
That’s thousands of dollars quietly sitting in your inbox.

Visibility brings people to you.
Connection is what converts them.

If your DMs are quiet, it might not be the algorithm.
It might be that people stopped trying after being ignored.

In conclusion, answer the DAMN messages.

For your own sake, STOP assuming social media is working against you:

You hit “post” and… silence 🦗

You are juggling kids, clients, home life, and a business.
The last thing you need is to fight an invisible enemy that is not actually the problem.
Because when your social media feels quiet, it is rarely the algorithm.

It is how you are showing up.

If you want more eyes on your content and people actually engaging with you, here are three habits to break right now 👇🏼

But first… SAVE this for later 📌

1. Do not post like you are trying not to offend anyone
• Playing it safe leads to being ignored. Clear opinions and confident messaging give people something to react to and connect with.

2. Do not hide behind generic content
• Reposting brokerage templates and vague tips makes you blend in. Familiarity does not build trust. Personality does.

3. Do not show up inconsistently and call it strategy
• Posting once in a while with no intention trains your audience to forget you. Visibility comes from clarity, not randomness.

Your content is not shadowbanned.
Your account is not broken.

Social media is not a “set it and forget it” system, especially if you want real conversations, real leads, and real visibility.

If your social media feels quiet but you know you are doing “all the things,” this is why 👇🏼

You will want to SAVE this so you can come back to it later 📌

If I’m being brutally honest, most Realtors hide behind generic, safe content.

Not because you are lazy.
Not because you are bad at social media.

But because safe content feels less risky.

After coaching 350+ Realtors, I see the same pattern every time.
Agents are following advice to blend in, not stand out.

And here are the three ways that show up 👇🏼

Posting content that offends no one
• Generic tips, recycled templates, and vague captions feel professional. They also give people nothing to react to or remember.

Talking to everyone instead of one person
• When your message is broad, it feels impersonal. The right client scrolls past because it doesn’t feel meant for them.

Avoiding personality in the name of “branding.”
• People hire people, not posts. When you remove your voice, your opinions, and your perspective, you remove the connection.

Safe content protects your feelings.
It does not build trust.

The agents getting DMs, referrals, and quiet “we’ve been watching you” messages are not louder. They are clearer.

And they are willing to be seen.

If you’re ready to stop hiding behind content that feels comfortable and start posting in a way that actually connects, I made something that helps.

If you’re tired of showing up online and still not getting the kind of leads you actually want, this is for you 👇🏼

SAVE this so you can come back to it later 📌

You are not on social media to talk about real estate all day.
You’re building a life, running a business, and trying to stay visible without turning your phone into a second full-time job.

Here’s the disconnect I see constantly.

No one is scrolling Instagram hoping to learn about interest rates or contracts.
They’re scrolling to picture a life.

That’s why posting like a local works better than posting like a walking MLS.

❌ Acting like everyone online is ready to buy or sell today
✅ Showing up like someone who actually lives, works, and knows the area

Here are 5 ways I coach Realtors to post like locals and stay top of mind 👇🏼

Local lifestyle moments
• Coffee spots, walks, school drop-offs, neighborhood corners. These posts make people think, “She lives here. She gets it.”

Simple market context
• Not stats for stats’ sake. Explain what’s happening in plain language so people feel informed, not overwhelmed.

Behind the scenes of your real day
• The showings, the scheduling, the in-between moments. People trust the Realtor they feel connected to.

Community conversations
• Local events, small businesses, seasonal shifts. This positions you as part of the community, not just someone selling in it.

Soft real estate tie-ins
• You don’t need to sell every post. When you stay visible as a local, the real estate conversations come naturally.

If you’ve been posting “real estate tips” and wondering why it feels flat, this is why.

This is the part no one wants to admit, but it’s happening every day 👇🏼

SAVE this so you have it when you need it 📌

You didn’t lose that client because you weren’t good enough.

You lost them because someone else showed up where you didn’t.

Right now, there are Realtors in your market with half your experience, half your negotiation skills, and half your results, and they’re getting the calls.

Not because they’re better agents.
Because they’re visible.

Social media is no longer optional background noise. It’s the first impression.
Before someone asks for a referral.
Before they Google you.
Before they decide who feels familiar and trustworthy.

And the truth is, being great at real estate is not enough if no one sees it.

You don’t need to post every day.
You don’t need to dance.
You don’t need to copy what the loudest agents are doing.

You need a clear strategy that puts your expertise in front of the right people, consistently, without stealing time from your actual life.

Because the agents winning online aren’t the most talented.
They’re the most visible.

If you’re finally ready to take your social media seriously and stop leaving opportunities on the table, this is your sign.
