What to Post as a Realtor

When you’re trying to create content, one of the hardest parts is simply figuring out what to say. You sit down with your phone or laptop, ready to post, and then your mind goes totally blank. The empty screen feels louder than it should.
Here’s the good news. You do not need an endless stream of brand-new ideas to show up consistently. What usually makes content feel doable is having a few reliable themes you can rotate through. Instead of reinventing the wheel every time, you can lean on categories that fit your style and still keep your audience interested.
This does two helpful things. First, it reduces pressure on you because you always have a starting point. Second, it helps your audience get familiar with how you think. Over time, they learn what you value, how you explain things, and what it feels like to work with you.
Below are seven content categories that can help you build that kind of consistency.
Educational posts help future clients feel more confident because you make the process easier to understand. In real estate, so much stress comes from not knowing what happens next. When you explain what something means and what a buyer or seller should expect, you become the steady voice people trust.
Education posts also work well because they support people long before they are ready to hire an agent. Many buyers and sellers follow along for weeks or even months. If you answer the same questions they are already asking online, you often become the first person they think of when they finally decide it’s time to move.
A few education post ideas you can use right away:
What a home inspection really includes and what it means if issues come up
HOA basics and what to review before you commit to buying
Getting pre-approved, the simple version, and the documents you will likely need
Behind-the-scenes content helps people trust you because it shows the work, not just the highlight reel. When someone sees how you prepare, what your routines look like, and how you manage your week, they feel more connected to you. It also makes the idea of reaching out feel less intimidating, because they can picture what working together might be like.
This category is especially effective because it quietly shows your expertise without you needing to announce it.
A few behind-the-scenes post ideas you can use right away:
A real day in my life, including the messy middle
How I plan my week so I can stay consistent without burning out
What I do before every listing appointment or buyer consultation
Everyone loves a good story. We follow along because we want to know what happens next, and we stick around until the end to see how it turns out.
Storytelling is also one of the easiest ways to show your value without sounding pushy. A clear story shows how you think, how you communicate, and how you handle problems when something unexpected happens.
A few storytelling post ideas you can use right away:
The inspection surprised us, and the deal almost fell apart
We lost two offers, then the third one finally landed
The listing was quiet at first, and here’s what we changed
To keep stories easy to follow, use a simple flow: what happened, what you did, what the result was, and what you learned. That last part is what turns a story into something your audience can use.
Market posts build credibility when you help people understand what the numbers actually mean. Most buyers and sellers do not want a pile of stats. They want clarity. When you explain a trend in plain language and connect it to real decisions, people begin to trust your perspective and your guidance.
This category also keeps you top of mind with past clients. Even if they are not moving today, they often appreciate staying informed, and they remember who made the market feel understandable.
A few market context post ideas you can use right away:
One chart, one takeaway, a simple weekly update
How a rate shift affects buying power with quick, easy math
Three common reasons deals are being renegotiated right now
A structure that works well here is: what changed, what it means, and one takeaway. If you can add a short example, it usually clicks faster.
Neighborhood and lifestyle content help people imagine daily life, not just the home itself. Many buyers are choosing between areas based on commute, community, walkability, and the overall feel. When you consistently share lifestyle details, you become a local guide people trust, especially for relocation buyers or anyone still narrowing down where they want to live.
These posts also tend to get shared a lot. Locals love seeing their favorite places mentioned, and buyers love learning what an area feels like beyond listing photos.
A few neighborhood and lifestyle post ideas you can use right away:
My Saturday morning routine in a specific neighborhood
Three places I take out-of-town visitors and what they reveal about the area
What’s changing this month: events, openings, and construction updates
To make these stand out, get specific. Name the neighborhood, add a couple of small details, and share one simple observation that proves you truly know the area.
Strategy posts build confidence because they show how you guide decisions when it matters most. Buyers and sellers want someone steady who can protect their goals and communicate clearly. When you share how you approach offers, negotiations, and client communication, people start to understand the value of having a professional who leads with intention.
This category also attracts clients who appreciate expertise. When someone reads your approach and thinks, “Yes, that is exactly what I want,” you are already building alignment.
A few negotiation and strategy post ideas you can use right away:
How to submit a strong offer without feeling like you overpaid
The communication rule our team follows so clients never feel in the dark
Sharing resources works because people are already searching for help. When you go beyond general advice and share the exact how, plus what tools you use, your content becomes more useful. That also makes it more likely people will save it and share it.
A few resource post ideas you can use right away:

If you want to post consistently without burning out, you probably don’t need more inspiration. Most of the time, you just need a repeatable structure that makes it easier to start. That is what content buckets are. When you define a few clear categories, you create a simple system you can rotate through. Each bucket has a purpose, which makes planning easier and writing faster because you always know what you are sharing and why it matters.
Gina Piper and her team at Elation Real Estate believe in supporting agents through education, collaboration, and real market knowledge. If you are a realtor who’s ready to grow and wants to be part of a supportive, professional community, we would love to connect. We invite you to call or visit our website to learn more about opportunities with Elation Real Estate.
Start with educational posts and behind-the-scenes. Explain common questions people have and show what it’s like working with you. Add stories as you collect real examples you can teach from.
Consistency matters more than posting every day. A strong starting point is two to four quality posts per week plus one short video.
Content that builds trust. Clear process explanations, simple market updates, real stories, and local neighborhood insights tend to create the most inbound conversations.
Pick one platform you can show up on consistently, then repurpose to a second one. The habit matters more than the platform early on.
Use a simple structure: say the question, give a one-sentence answer, share three quick points, then end with a takeaway. Keeping it under 45 seconds helps it feel natural.
