Savour the moment

I’ve mentioned showing not only the home but the lifestyle that comes with it through your Reels. This trending sound and template are the perfect way to accomplish that. Pick a room, the bedroom, the kitchen, the balcony, the living room and create a moment.

What you’ll need: You’ll need seven videos for this one. You can go for different spaces throughout the house like this Reel, or select a space, stage it and shoot different angles.

Is it a relaxing Sunday morning, coffee brewing (show that!), a journal and a pen on the island with a view of the backyard? Maybe a cozy evening by the fireplace with hot chocolate, a knit blanket, and a book. A hot bath running in the bedroom ensuite. Get creative!

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 seven videos in the order you prefer.

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.

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.”

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.

How to make it:

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!
