If you’re like most agents, you know you should be posting on social media more often, but figuring out what to post is the hard part. The truth is, not every post moves the needle. Cute graphics and generic “just listed” flyers only go so far.

To actually attract buyers, your posts need to do two things: spark engagement and build trust. Here are five proven ideas you can use right away:

1. Behind-the-Scenes Tours

Instead of just posting a polished listing photo, walk buyers through the property with your phone. Show the view from the backyard, how light hits the kitchen in the morning, or the cozy nook that doesn’t show up on MLS photos.

Why it works: Buyers love authenticity. These mini tours give them a feel for the home they won’t get anywhere else.

2. Local Lifestyle Content

Share a post about the best coffee shop near a listing, a local hiking trail, or the neighborhood farmer’s market. Tag the business and encourage people to comment with their own favorite spots.

Why it works: Buyers aren’t just buying a home, they’re buying a lifestyle. Show them what makes the area special.

3. Quick Buyer Tips

Go on camera and share one short, actionable tip (ex, “Always get pre-approved before touring… here’s why”). Keep it under 60 seconds for Instagram Reels or TikTok.

Why it works: Helpful content positions you as an expert. Plus, buyers are more likely to DM you after seeing useful advice.

4. “This or That” Polls

Post two side-by-side photos: modern kitchen vs. farmhouse kitchen, big yard vs. finished basement. Ask your audience which they’d choose.

Why it works: Polls drive interaction, boost your reach, and give you insight into what buyers want.

5. Success Stories (Without Bragging)

Instead of posting “Just Closed,” tell a story: “My clients were first-time buyers who lost two offers before we found this home. Today, they’re moving in!”

Why it works: People connect with stories more than stats. It makes buyers feel like, “That could be me.”
