Here's the thing: most agents post once, maybe twice, then stare at their phone wondering what comes next.
The problem isn't that you don't know how to create content. It's that you're treating every post like it needs to be some groundbreaking, never-been-done-before moment. And that's exhausting.
The truth is, your best content isn't creative—it's repeatable. The agents who show up consistently (and attract actual buyers and sellers, not just other agents) have a rotation of content types they return to over and over. They're not reinventing the wheel every time they open Instagram. They're using the same frameworks, the same hooks, the same structures that work.
This is your permission to stop creating from scratch and start working from a system.
Why Repeatable Content Actually Works Better
Look at your engagement over the last three months. Which posts got the most reach, engagement, and follows? I'm willing to bet it wasn't your motivational quote or your "just listed" graphic with minimal information.
It was probably one of these: a listing feature reel showing the actual home, a local guide carousel locals wanted to save and share, or a neighborhood roundup that answered real questions people were Googling about your area.
Here's what makes content repeatable: it solves the same problem your ideal clients have, over and over again. People moving to your city will always need to know what neighborhoods to consider. Buyers will always want to see what's on the market. Locals will always care about their community.
The algorithm doesn't reward you for being original. It rewards you for being clear, consistent, and relevant to a specific audience.
The Three Content Pillars That Attract Real Clients
Every post you make should fit into one of these three categories. If it doesn't, it's probably not worth posting.
Local Guides - Content that's genuinely valuable, highly shareable, and answers what people actually search for when exploring your city. This attracts both locals and relocators, positions you as the local resource, and boosts saves, shares, and follower growth.
Local Shareables - Posts designed to get shared by locals. When your content gets shared on Instagram, it reaches people who don't follow you yet. That's how you grow. These create that "tag your friend who needs to see this" moment.
Listing Features - The number one type of post for sparking conversations with potential leads and growing your local audience. These posts create the "Omg, can you send me this?" DM—the spark of literal opportunity.
Now let's break down exactly what to post for each one.

How to Actually Use These Ideas (Without Burning Out)
Here's where most agents go wrong: they see a list like this and think they need to post all of it immediately.
You don't.
Pick three content types (one from each pillar) and rotate them weekly. That's it. Post a local guide on Monday, a local shareable on Wednesday, a listing feature on Friday. Repeat.
Your content doesn't need to be different every single day. It needs to be consistent, valuable, and clear about who you help.
The agents who show up with a plan always outperform the agents who post whenever inspiration strikes. Because here's the truth: inspiration doesn't pay your bills. Strategy does.
Stop Guessing, Start Posting
If you're tired of staring at a blank caption box wondering what to post, this is your way out.
Repeatable content isn't boring—it's strategic. It's what keeps you visible, attracts the right people, and turns your Instagram into a tool that actually generates leads instead of just consuming your time.
At Coffee & Contracts, we've built this exact system for over 16,000 agents. Every Monday, you get done-for-you content that fits into these pillars. No more guessing, no more creative burnout, no more "what should I post today?" spiraling.
Your entire content strategy, already mapped out. Templates that are 90% done. The kind of posts that make your future clients say "I need to work with you."
