What should a real estate agent post on social media?

Roughly two listings, two pieces of market or process explanation, and one completed sale a week. The non-listing posts are what keep future sellers following you.

Which platform is best for real estate agents?

Instagram reaches buyers, LinkedIn reaches sellers and referral partners, and local Facebook groups reach the neighbourhood. Pick two and post the same idea in each voice.

How often should an agent post?

Five times a week is realistic if two posts are written at a desk rather than shot on location. Consistency matters more than volume.

Social media content calendar for a real estate agent

Listings alone do not build an audience, because only people buying this month care. The plan below mixes listings with the market knowledge that keeps everyone else following until they are ready.

Platforms: Instagram first, LinkedIn for sellers and referrals, Facebook for local groups.
Cadence: Five posts a week, two of them written at a desk.

The 7-day calendar

Monday

LinkedIn · Market insight

One local number and what it means

Average time on market in this neighbourhood moved from 41 days to 58 this quarter. That does not mean prices fell. It means buyers are negotiating again, and sellers who price for last spring are the ones sitting.

Tuesday

Instagram · Listing

One property, one reason, one detail

Three bedrooms, a south-facing terrace, and the quietest street in the area. Priced to sell before autumn. Full details and viewings in the comments.

Wednesday

Instagram · Useful tip

The mistake sellers repeat

The cheapest thing that raises your sale price: fix the front door. Buyers form an opinion in the eight seconds before they walk in, and paint costs 40 euros.

Thursday

Facebook · Neighbourhood

Sell the area, not the house

Why families keep choosing this district: two schools within walking distance, a Saturday market, and a bus that actually turns up. Homes here sell faster because of the street, not the kitchen.

Friday

Instagram · Customer proof

A completed sale, told as a story

Listed on a Tuesday, four viewings, sold above asking by Friday. Not luck: the photos were shot in morning light and the price was honest from day one.

Saturday

Instagram · Process

What actually happens after the offer

The offer is accepted and buyers assume it is done. Here are the five steps and the six weeks that follow, so nothing surprises you.

Sunday

LinkedIn · Conversation

Ask the question people are afraid to ask

What is stopping you moving: the price, the paperwork, or not knowing what your place is worth? Answer and I will cover it in this week's posts.

Four things that make this work

Two posts a week should not be listings. Market explanations are what people follow you for between purchases.
Name the neighbourhood in every post. It is the phrase people actually search.
Use LinkedIn for sellers and referrals, Instagram for buyers. The same content, a different tone.
Every sold post should explain why it sold. That is the case study that wins your next instruction.
