What to Post on Instagram This Week If You're a Real Estate Agent in Australia

Most real estate agents know they should be posting on Instagram. Very few know what to actually post. So they either go quiet for weeks, or they post the same "Just Listed" graphic every agency in the country is already using.

Here are five content ideas you can use this week. Each one works for any market, any price bracket, any suburb. None of them require a copywriter, a graphic designer, or more than ten minutes of your time.

1. The open home recap

Shot your open on Saturday? Post about it on Sunday. Not a polished walkthrough — just a quick piece-to-camera from the street outside. Thirty seconds. Tell people what you saw: how many groups came through, what buyers are reacting to, whether the feedback was strong.

This is the content that vendors actually watch. It shows them you're active, you're reading the room, and you're keeping them informed — in public. That's worth more than any brochure.

2. The suburb insight

Pick one data point from your market this week. Median days on market. Clearance rate. Number of active listings. Doesn't need to be a full report — just one number, what it means, and what you'd tell a buyer or seller off the back of it.

Film it at a local cafe, on the street, at the park. Somewhere that says "I actually live and work in this suburb" — not "I filmed this in my car in a car park."

3. The before-auction post

The 48 hours before an auction are when buyer anxiety peaks and vendor anxiety peaks. A short Instagram post — even just a Story — that says "We're going to auction Saturday at 10am, here's what I'm watching for" does two things: it builds anticipation for your audience, and it shows vendors you're on.

After the auction, post the result. Sold under the hammer? Say so. Passed in? You can still post — "strong interest, negotiations ongoing" is honest and professional. Silence after an auction is the worst outcome.

4. The agent introduction

If you've never posted a simple "here's who I am and what I do" video, do it this week. Sixty seconds. Your name, your suburb, how long you've been doing this, and one thing you believe about real estate that most agents get wrong.

That last part is the hook. Don't just say "I'm passionate about getting the best result for my clients." Say something you actually believe. That's the post that gets saved and shared.

5. The listing story

Every property has a story. The couple who built it forty years ago. The investor who's held it through three cycles. The young family buying their first home in the suburb they grew up in. You know these stories — you just don't tell them.

Next listing you take on, ask the vendor one question: "What does this home mean to you?" Record their answer on your phone if they'll let you. If not, write it yourself in one paragraph. That's your Instagram post.

The problem isn't ideas. It's time.

Every agent reading this has content sitting on their phone right now. Open home footage. Auction clips. Suburb walkthroughs. The gap isn't knowing what to post — it's the time it takes to write the caption, cut the video, resize for Instagram, write something different for LinkedIn, and do it all again tomorrow.

That's what ScribeKast is built for. You upload the video or drop in a brief. We write the Instagram caption, the LinkedIn post, the Facebook copy, the YouTube description, the blog — everything, platform-native, in your voice. You approve. We publish.

Eight platforms. One Kast. Done in sixty seconds.
