The Weekly Plan Structure

The plan follows the 70-20-10 rule adapted for real estate Instagram — a strategy explained in depth in the complete social media guide for real estate agencies: 70% value content for the audience, 20% properties for sale, 10% personal brand and behind the scenes.

How to Execute It in 2 Hours on Monday Morning

The key is to do everything in a single session and schedule the entire week. Don't open Instagram each day to improvise — that's the way to never publish consistently.

1 Content Session (60 min)

• Properties (20 min): Open SnapHouse and generate the carousel, Reel and copy for the 2 properties you're going to publish this week. Select the photos, fill in the data and you have carousel + Reel ready in minutes.
• Value content (25 min): With ChatGPT or from your own knowledge, write the 2-3 tip carousels. Simple format: dark background with white text, 3-5 slides. Free Canva is enough.
• Market data (15 min): Look up the average price/m² in your area on Idealista or Fotocasa, create a simple image with the data, draft the copy (2-3 lines + 5 hashtags).

2 Scheduling (30 min)

Upload everything to Later, Buffer or Upload Post and automate your real estate social media posting on each day and optimal time:

3 Daily Stories (30 min total)

Stories are the most informal content and don't need such careful planning. 2-3 Stories per day generated in the moment:

• Photo from a visit with overlaid text
• Poll: "Would you prefer to live in [area A] or [area B]?"
• Repost the feed post with the swipe sticker
• Photo of the neighborhood you're working in

The Copy That Works Best on Real Estate Instagram

The best opening lines for real estate posts (what appears before "see more"):

• Direct question: "How much do you think it costs to live in [area]?"
• Surprising fact: "The average price in [area] has risen 12% this year"
• Common mistake: "60% of buyers make this mistake when viewing a property"
• Before/after: "This property had been on the market for 8 months. I changed this and it sold in 3 weeks"
• Real urgency: "New property available in [area] — [N] beds, [X] m², €X"

Hashtags by Content Type

Use between 5 and 8 hashtags per post. Combine location + sector + format hashtags:

• Location: #[city]property #realtor[area] #[city]realestate #[area]homes
• Sector: #realestateagent #realtor #propertyfor sale #buyproperty
• Format: #propertytour #realestateReels #homesofinstagram

SnapHouse automatically generates localized hashtags for the property's area when it generates the Instagram copy.

Metrics to Know If the Plan Is Working

Review these numbers every 30 days in Instagram Insights:

• Weekly reach: how many unique accounts see your posts. Goal: grow 10-15% monthly.
• Engagement rate: (likes + comments + saves) / reach × 100. Goal: above 3%.
• Saves: saved posts have more value than likes — they indicate useful content.
• Bio clicks / DMs: how many people come to your profile or message you after seeing a post.
