8 Awesome Social Media Video Content Ideas for Real Estate Pros

Looking for social media video content ideas for real estate, but unsure of your “video star” skills? Let’s take a look at what works!

Leveraging social media is an excellent way for agents to create their brand, share information, educate homeowners, and build their client list. All of that rolled together is how a real estate agent shows their value! Video posts have been growing in popularity, thanks to such platforms as TikTok and Instagram stories.

So, how can you use videos to your best advantage to promote your farm area and instruct and inform your clients of events and changes in the housing markets?

YOU Need To Be In Your Videos

This doesn’t mean you need to look like a movie star with professional makeup and the latest fashion trends. In fact, that’s what NOT to do! Don’t worry too much about the perfect setting, but be on screen, speak from your heart (no scripts!), and be authentic.

Be kind to yourself. You will mess up, and you know what? That’s OK! It makes you relatable, imperfect, and genuine because your clients have messed up too, and they will gravitate to people they connect with.

Creating Awesome Content

Let’s get down to business! There’s a plethora of content and topics that you can cover in your videos, and here are a few suggestions:

Staging tips for selling a home fast and for the most money. Remind your viewers that first impressions matter! That means ideas including how to create curb appeal and furnish each room with a purpose.
Sharing ideas for times of crisis. Topics that cover what to do in case of emergencies, safety tips, and how to be prepared are always good choices.
Three quick and easy tips to boost your curb appeal (paint the door, plant some shrubs, add flower pots, clean up the front walk)
Three finance questions to ask yourself before buying your first home (Can you afford the mortgage payment? Can you afford the closing costs? Can you afford the neighborhood?)
Tips for shopping for home builders (and why you should still use a real estate agent!)

Rules For Social Media Videos

Now that we know what kind of content we can make videos about, let’s talk about the rules (they are more like suggestions) for creating them.

Have fun – When you are having fun, everyone else will have fun.
Don’t worry about perfection – It’s OK to stumble over words or not have everything go perfectly; it’s authentic and relatable!
Be consistent – Post your videos weekly (or every other week) on the same day and at the same time.
Keep them short and sweet – Videos should be about 3 to 4 minutes in length, even as short as 2 minutes, but never more than 5.
You can pre-record them – You don’t have to do these videos as a live stream; you can record them earlier and schedule them to post at the same time each week. If you do go live and are stressed about messing up, just write the tips you’re sharing on a piece of paper as a quick reminder.
