MARCH INSTAGRAM REELS
New to Instagram reels? They’re an amazing way to boost your visibility in the Instagram algorithm (especially to local buyers & sellers), as well as provide value to potential clients and showcase your knowledge!
Below, you’ll find instructions, examples and a caption for your Reel. We do not provide an actual template for the Reel because Instagram prefers that you add text and audio directly in their app, rather than upload a completely done-for-you video. Following this “Instagram’s best practices” rule ensures that your Reel gets as much reach and as many views as possible.
There are 10 Reels below so you can post twice per week, but feel free to get creative and do more! Please be sure to change all [CITY] placeholders to your actual city name. And make sure to get permission to share any listings that aren’t your own!
Learn more about how to post reels here.
Note: Please always get permission from the listing agent (if that’s not you!) before filming in any homes.
What Actually Helps Your Home Sell Faster
Strategy + Why It Works:
- Builds trust fast by teaching sellers what actually matters
- Speaks to seller pain points (overwhelm, confusion, overthinking)
- Attracts listing leads without sounding salesy
- Great for saves/shares because it’s practical
How to Film & Create This Reel:
1️⃣ Choose a trending audio
- Pick a simple, clean trending sound
- Keep it low volume so text is easy to read
2️⃣ Film 5–10 clips. Here are some ideas:
- Front door / exterior
- Opening blinds
- Wiping counters
- Fluffing pillows
- Tidying a bedroom
- Sweeping the porch
- Turning on lights
- You walking through a home
- Quick before/after tidy shot
Tip: Keep clips short (1–2 seconds) and vertical.
3️⃣ Add text overlays
Use short, fast-read text like:
- What helps homes sell faster 👇
- Clean + declutter
- Natural light
- Minor repairs
- Smart pricing
- Strong marketing
- DM me “SELL” for a checklist
4️⃣ Customize your caption (see below).
5️⃣ Post and share
- Post as a Reel
- Share to Stories
- Save to a Seller Tips highlight
Caption:
A lot of sellers think it’s just “list it and hope for the best”… but the homes that sell faster usually have a few things in common:
What helps:
✅ Smart pricing from day one
Overpricing usually leads to sitting longer (and price drops later).
✅ Great photos + a strong first impression
Buyers see your home online first, so bright, clean photos matter a lot.
✅ Simple prep
Decluttering, touch-up paint, deep cleaning, and light staging can make a huge difference.
✅ Real marketing
MLS matters, but so do social media, email, open houses, and agent outreach.
✅ Easy showing access
More showing opportunities = more buyer interest.
What doesn’t:
❌ Pricing high “to leave room”
This usually makes buyers scroll right past.
❌ Waiting until it’s “perfect”
Your home can be market-ready without a full makeover.
❌ Spending on the wrong upgrades
Not every project adds value (or helps it sell faster).
If you’re thinking about selling in [City], DM me “SELL” and I’ll tell you what’s worth doing before you list—and what you can skip.

Great for kids, weekend meetups, and those “we need to get out of the house” afternoons.

Walking paths, running routes, and a place you can actually get a real sweat in without a gym.

Don’t look at a single house until you do this first 👀🏡
I know it’s tempting to start touring “just to see what’s out there”… but if you skip this step, you’re basically setting yourself up to fall in love with a house you can’t (or shouldn’t) buy 😅
Do this first: get clear on your REAL monthly payment + get pre-approved.
Not the “we could maybe swing it” number — the payment you’ll feel good about after groceries, travel, daycare, student loans, all of it.
Because your payment isn’t just the price of the house. It’s:
✅ principal + interest
✅ taxes
✅ insurance
✅ HOA (if applicable)
Once you know your payment comfort zone, your home search gets so much easier — and your offers get taken more seriously.
If you want, DM me “PAYMENT” and I’ll send you a simple checklist of what to ask your lender (and what numbers to look for) before you start touring in [City].
