But let’s be real — coming up with ideas every week can feel exhausting. That’s why I’ve pulled together 10 proven Reel ideas that work for Realtors (and won’t make you cringe on camera).
10 Reel Ideas for Realtors
Property Walkthroughs – Do a quick highlight of the kitchen, backyard, or a special feature. Keep it under 30 seconds.
Neighborhood Spotlight – Show off a coffee shop, park, or school in your farm area. Buyers love local insight.
