How Instagram and TikTok Are Changing Real Estate Marketing

Social media is no longer just for entertainment. Instagram and TikTok are transforming real estate marketing by offering agents powerful ways to connect with buyers, expand reach, and build their personal brands.

Short Form Video Dominates

Short videos grab attention and drive results. Listings with video receive 403% more inquiries than those without. Instagram Reels also outperform other post types, with reach rates nearly 31%, compared to carousel posts at 14% and image posts at 13%.

TikTok Turns Views into Deals

TikTok is becoming indispensable for agents targeting younger buyers. One Chicago agent reports that 25% of her deals begin on TikTok. In Washington, D.C., an agent with 3.7 million TikTok followers has amassed 61 million views, showing how "screen appeal" now rivals curb appeal.

Visibility That Spreads

TikTok and Instagram’s algorithms make it possible for content to reach far beyond an agent’s immediate network. Videos have the potential to go viral, offering massive exposure without paid ads. HubSpot data shows that 54% of video viewers visit a brand’s website after watching.

Video is a Must Have in Listings

Only 38% of agents currently use video, yet listings that do get 118% more engagement. Consumers retain 95% of a message when delivered via video, compared to just 10% for text.
