Is Instagram a part of your marketing strategy? If not, you really should. You may already know that it’s a seriously powerful tool to drive engagement with your brand, and build an audience. To put its power into perspective, Instagram has over 1 billion active users and has 4x more engagement than Facebook.

Instagram is also not a new platform. Dozens of top producers have already set a standard of what a good Instagram account looks like, meaning that if you want to overhaul (or even just start) your Instagram game, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. You can build a solid foundation by imitating what the experts are doing.

Below, we’ve listed 19 Instagram profiles you need to follow. Not only can they provide you with a clear outline of what a good real estate Instagram account should look like, but many of these accounts are also front and center of the newest real estate industry developments in the US.

Nicole Beauchamp@nikkibeauchamp

nikki beauchamp

Nicole Beauchamp is a Global Real Estate Advisor with Engel & Völkers New York and was a seasoned real estate broker servicing Manhattan’s and Brooklyn’s residential properties for over a decade.

On her Instagram account, she does an amazing job promoting listings, the community she serves and the local businesses that operate there, and most importantly – herself!

She doesn’t really post real estate tips, but her profile itself is a thesis on self-promotion that still comes off as a sincere expression of how much she loves her city.

Her profile is a great example to emulate. Take it from an expert!

Inman News@inmannews

inman

Inman News is a reliable resource for insider knowledge on the real estate industry including market updates, economic status, relevant news, agent resources, statements from experts, and more.

These may not be content you’d want to repost (unless you’re an agent resource), but you can save them or take inspiration for your own content.

Dottie Herman@dottieherman

Dottie Herman

Dottie Herman is the richest self-made woman in American real estate and the CEO of Douglas Elliman.

Her Instagram is a peek into the life of the leader of America’s #3 real estate company and commander of 7,000 real estate professionals all over Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens – all the way to Los Angeles and South Florida. 

She has a star-studded profile that can serve as powerful inspiration for agents, as well as posts about upcoming events.

Loida Velasquez@loidavelas

Loida Velasquez

Loida Velasquez is a top producer from eXp Realty’s Team BC and a great example of a new school real estate influencer.

There’s a lot of activity going on in her profile and it gives a sense of how hard she works and how well she handles a high level of responsibility – and when we say activity, we don’t mean photos of a perfectly blended green smoothie… 

Aside from sneak peeks of Team BC’s office and the day-in-the-life of a top producer, she promotes her initiatives with other female entrepreneurs as well as the training she offers for agents.

As they log onto Instagram and view her profile, all her clients see is Wonder Woman.

Gogo Bethke@gogosrealestate

Gogo Bethke is a Top 3% National REALTOR® and the account holder of one of the largest social media followings in Michigan.

One of the first things that stand out on her profile is her posts featuring other local community leaders and professionals, as well as creating awareness for fundraisers.

Gogo plays the generosity game extremely well, and through promoting others has multiplied her network considerably. Her backdrop is a gorgeous collection of properties and life in North Carolina, which – thanks to her – looks exciting to live in.

The Broke Agent@thebrokeagent

The Broke Agent

You know what makes the best humor? Humor we can relate to.

Has the pipe gone dry? Lost the keys to your listing? Have clients who think they were realtors in their past life?

When everything goes south, it’s easy to feel like nobody understands the struggles we’re going through – especially with a career that’s often misunderstood. 

After all, we’ve all been a broke agent once.

Jordan Nielsen@laughing_realtor

Laughing Nielsen

More realtor humor for you on this account. 

Jordan Nielsen is actually the founder and CEO of Listerpros, a real estate media service for agents that helps them sell more properties and earn more business through high-quality videography, photography, and by featuring agent listings on their show, PropertyPros.

Hawaii Life@hawaiilife

Hawaii Life

Hawaii Life is a locally owned and operated real estate brokerage based in Princeville with around 300 agents serving the islands.

Viewing their Instagram profile feels like opening a thick and glossy magazine that smells faintly of sea salt. 

Beautiful scenic shots of the islands and captivating copy shows they understand the experience that their market is expecting from the state – this is doubly important considering that they’re marketing to a lot of foreigners and retirees who have visited the island but never lived there.

They aren’t only selling beautiful island properties… They’re selling Hawaii Life.

Gulf Realty 30A@gulfrealty30a

Gulf Realty 30A

Gulf Realty 30A is a boutique real estate firm that serves the community of the Emerald Coast.

Their use of Instagram Highlights is simple but effective, and any agent at any level can emulate what they’re doing.

Their ‘Local News’ highlights is a collection of stills and short videos that promote the community and neighborhood businesses with an intimacy that can only be pulled off by a true local. They’re the experts in this town, and anyone looking to buy would go to them.

The other two highlights promote their listings and their team – it essentially provides all the information clients need to begin considering a decision without having to go to their website.

Tom Ferry@tomferry

Tom Ferry

Tom Ferry is arguably the biggest name in modern real estate and the owner of the #1 real estate coaching company in the US.

He practices what he preaches, leveraging the full power of social media. Aside from strategic posts centered around promotion, he dials back a bit and transforms into a personal advisor while talking to the camera vlog-style.

This is something that agents should emulate – it’s a chance to display leadership by educating clients and providing insider knowledge about the market, guidance for buyers and sellers, and maybe even advice for investors

He also gets other leaders in his sphere to drop some valuable knowledge on his profile. Following Tom Ferry on Instagram is a no-brainer – not only is he one of the industry’s most trusted advisors and real estate coaches, but his profile is a great example of doing Instagram right.

Katie Lance@katielance

Katie Lance

Here’s another example of a well-leveraged ‘virtual business card’ – which is unsurprising, considering that Katie Lance is one of the most highly regarded and syndicated social media strategists in real estate.

She is a 5-star author and the founder of the #GetSocialSmart ecosystem, always on top of the industry’s latest marketing trends and insights – which she shares with her audience.

Aside from the usual promotional posts and motivational quotes, she regularly uploads short videos and carousel ‘albums’ about social media tips and real estate strategies that agents can immediately apply.

Chastin’s a great resource on YouTube providing valuable information and guidance for real estate agents. Through his vlogs, viewers tag along and see what goes on in the Founders’ office.

Not only is he an excellent resource and a fun channel to watch for aspiring and existing real estate agents, but his profile is also a great example of social media done right – after all, his name essentially blew up online.

A lot of his Instagram posts are previews of his YouTube videos and blog – previews that already add value on their own and effectively funnel traffic to his content.

His ‘Resources’ highlights are extremely well-designed and exciting ‘commercials’ for his business, while his ‘Showings’ highlights are mini virtual tours of beautiful properties – his clients can clearly see that he does the work.

The rest of his profile offers visitors clear portals into every facet of his business including his training program, authorship, and more – it just goes to show how much you can do with social media, especially when you master and create synergy with different platforms.

Kevin Ward@kevinwardnow

Kevin Ward

Kevin Ward is one of the biggest real estate coaches in the US, an international bestseller, and the YesMaster himself.

He posts short but value-packed videos that lead to longer content on his YouTube channel. He provides daily guidance, as well as insights from guest experts, on not only how to be a better agent, but also on winning in every area of life.

Aside from being an excellent agent resource, here’s one thing he does that you can emulate right now – he posts a succinct video, answering a question that one of his followers asked.

If no one’s asking you any questions yet, why not think of your own? Buyer and Seller guides are a thing, so what are their most frequently asked questions? What do they struggle to understand the most? On what can you educate them?

Thach Nguyen@thachnguyen
