Implement engaging Instagram Story templates
One of our favorite ways to interact with your audience is to get them engaging with your Instagram stories! This month, choose from a handful of stories templates.
- Get your audience to interact with your content by using Question, Poll, Quiz, or Slider stickers on your stories.
- Bonus: Ask your audience what they want to learn more about with a question sticker and answer in your Instagram Stories!
Create an animated Reel
Try creating an animated reel in Canva. Then, upload it as a Reel on Instagram and add a trending audio and voiceover.
Videos of you will always perform better, we highly recommend a video of YOU as the intro!
Members: Use one of our Reel templates and add your own personal touch!
Share local insights
Creating local content will help you to be discovered by people in your area.
Think of what someone may search for such as “[City] neighborhoods” or “[City] brunch.”
Create easy-to-consume content for them to save for later.
Members, use our local expert templates:
- Best brunch in [city]
- Which [city] neighborhood should you live in?
- If you like [neighborhood characteristics] check out [neighborhood]
Give your audience a laugh with The Broke Agent templates
Share funny and relatable content with your audience. This month, there are over 70 templates created by The Broke Agent available for members. Use the static posts, gifs, or Reels templates and see which types of posts your audience enjoys.
The templates include:
- Relatable real estate content
- Pop culture references from shows like Love Island, The Bachelor, Anchorman, The Office, Curb Your Enthusiasm & more
Hop on a trend!
Another great way to interact with your audience is to jump on a trend. This month, we created real estate themed “Little Miss /Mr.” memes and the “He’s a 10 but…” memes. These are now available for agents to utilize. Some of our favorites:
- Little Miss “Always negotiating”
- Little Miss “Did someone say real estate?”
- Mr “The buyer’s dad tried my life”
- “He’s a 10 but he writes all of his listing descriptions IN CAPS”
Get ready for back-to-school
It’s August which means back-to-school is here! Share decluttering or organization tips in honor of sending the kids back to school!
- C&C Members: Use the new “30 Days of Declutter” Checklist template as a free incentive for email newsletter sign ups.
- Get more engagements by doing a fun back-to-school quiz with your audience. Quiz them on real estate prices or on facts about your city! (Google “facts about [city]” to come up with questions!)
