Swing the doors open

This Reel is as simple as it gets. Set your phone up on a tripod in front of a door or set of doors, then simply open the door to reveal the room inside. This could be the door to the primary bedroom, a spa-like ensuite, an office, the library, the front door, etc.

Create a Reel for each room! It’s easy content to make. You can be in the video and show yourself opening the door, walking through and disappearing into the room. You can crouch and slowly push the door(s) open from the bottom, keeping out of sight. If it’s easier, you can even attach a clear fishing line to the handle and, from inside the room, slowly pull the door open.

Garden in bloom

You’re in the right place

Not only is this a great Reel template to show off your latest listing, but you can use this format to show off your team and find some potential followers/buyers.

For your latest listing, show off the best three spots of the home. For non-listing Reels, you can mention unique things or experiences your clients get when working with you. Here’s an example of how I would plan out the text:

Audio: If this is your vibe …
Text: If you’re looking for your dream home

Audio: Or this …
Text: In *your area here*

Audio: Or this …
Text: And need a *describe your team here*

Audio and text: Then you’re in the right place

What you’ll need: You can either just use the audio and add a single video featuring you and your team, or you can do three clips ranging from 1.6 to 6.1 seconds of the items described in your text.

How to make it

Step 1: Tap here to view the Reel on Instagram.

Step 2: Tap the “use template” button at the bottom left of your screen.

Step 3: Input your three clips in the order you prefer.

Step 4: Tap “next” and add your text. Be sure to time the text so it appears and disappears at the right moment.

Step 5: Tap “next” again, then input your caption — keep it short and sweet with a clear CTA.

Step 6: Select “edit cover” to either add your own cover or select a moment in the video you’d like to use as the cover image.

Step 7: Scroll down and tag your location so the algorithm shows your content to people interacting with content in the same area.

Make a cup of coffee

This is a great trending sound to show off a kitchen. Similar to the last Reel, you can set up your phone so it films a certain area with a bit of movement. Pour a cup of coffee, or maybe the coffee is already made and you’re adding cream. Simply set the scene in an aesthetically pleasing way and create a short clip.

Three in one

This is one of the few times you can use your horizontal footage in a Reel without zooming in or cutting anything off! Though, this one will require a little more work.

You’ll want to start with a tool like Canva to create three pages with three different sections on each. Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered there. Just make sure you have a free Canva account and download this template.

Once you’ve downloaded the template, add your preferred clips of your latest listing. You’ll need to download each slide separately to match up with the Reel’s template. Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered on the timing of each slide, too, as it’s already set in the template.

Alright, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

What you’ll need: Nine short clips filmed horizontally. Switch up the way you film it to match this Reel, by slow panning left to right or right to left. Just keep it simple as it might look a little chaotic otherwise.

How to make it:

Step 1: Tap here to view the Reel on Instagram.

Step 2: Tap “use template” to get started.

Step 3: Select “add clips” and input your three videos.

Step 4: Tap “next”, then input your caption — keep it short and sweet with a clear CTA.

Step 5: Select “edit cover” to either add your own cover or select a moment in the video you’d like to use as the cover image.

Step 6: Scroll down and tag your location so the algorithm shows your content to people interacting with content in the same area.

Step 7: Hit “share”.

From daylight to starlight

One tip most buyers receive during the home-buying process is to view the home at different times of the day. So, why not show them through a Reel?

What you’ll need: You’ve got a couple of options here. You can focus on one room, take four pictures (morning, afternoon, evening, night) and repeat the sequence four times in the video. Or, you can choose four rooms and take t

he same four pictures for each, for a total of 16 images.

The trick here is to take the image in the exact same spot throughout the day, as the creator did for this Reel. Ideally, you set up one or multiple tripods and leave them there all day. Then, all you need to do is carefully set up your phone or camera on the tripod and snap a picture.

How to make it:

Step 1: Tap here to view the Reel on Instagram.

Step 2: Tap “use template” to get started.

Step 3: Input your 16 images (morning, afternoon, sunset/evening, night).

Step 4: Tap “next,” then input your caption — keep it short and sweet with a clear CTA inviting people to learn more about the listing or book a private showing.

Step 5: Select “edit cover” to either add your own cover or select a moment in the video you’d like to use as the cover image.

Step 6: Scroll down and tag your location so the algorithm shows your content to people interacting with content in the same area.

Step 7: Hit “share.”

Back to the basics

Okay, I threw you a more complicated one before this one, so I thought I’d finish this month’s trending Reels off with a simple, classic image slideshow. Take a breath, you’re welcome.

What you’ll need: Eleven images of your latest listing.

How to make it:

Step 1: Tap here to view the Reel on Instagram.

Step 2: Tap “use template” to get started.

Step 3: Input your 11 images

Step 4: Tap “next,” then input your caption — keep it short and sweet with a clear CTA.

Step 5: Select “edit cover” to either add your own cover or select a moment in the video you’d like to use as the cover image.

Step 6: Scroll down and tag your location so the algorithm shows your content to people interacting with content in the same area.

Step 7: Hit “share.”

BONUS CONTENT IDEA

Woohoo! You made it to the end of the article (for those who scrolled without reading… I see you), and therefore you shall be rewarded!

Content idea: Three things you need to do now if you’re planning to sell this winter.

In this Reel, you’ll start off with that title. You can be in the video pointing to the title, or maybe it’s random footage of you staging a home or walking through it. Next, you’ll list your three tips. For example, if you plan on selling your home this winter, take your pictures now. This way, potential buyers can see what the property looks like when not covered in snow.

Give them the tip, tell them why, but make it quick and easy to understand.

Happy Reeling!
