Social media content ideas dried up? Or maybe you’re completely new to Instagram Reels and looking for somewhere to start. Well, you’re in luck. I’m calling this month’s Reels for Realtors the single pan video edition. Here are five new trending sounds that work perfectly with single clips of your latest listing — or anything else, really. Get creative!
Pro tip: As you create content, save your clips in a file. You can always come back to it if you don’t have anything new to post and recycle your content into something new!

Here are five reels with trending sounds and easy templates you should jump on today:
I’m obsessed!
What you’ll need: We’ll start you off easy with this one clip reel. Film a single space, panning one side to the other, for six to fifteen seconds.
How to make it :
Step 1: Tap here to view the reel on Instagram
Step 2: Tap “use audio” to get started on your reel right now or the flag at the top right of your screen to save it for later
Step 3: Upload your six to 15-second video and add text if you’d like, though I’d keep it to a minimum
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 in your area or researching your area
Step 7: Share!

Hi, I’m Jen and I’m a social media marketer with Just Sell Homes & REM. I’d love to have a clever bio written for you but it’s just not my strength. What I can do is teach you how to create a social media strategy customized to you and show you how to put it into action. Whether you’re just looking to refine the strategy you’ve got or you’re, shall we say, technically/social media challenged? Either way, I’ve got your back.
I love these ideas, keep them coming!
Thank you for the feedback! Stay tuned for the August update!
