🚀 Trending:
TikTok:
This trend is mostly being used to show outfit changes or make fun of the way you look in certain situations. But it could also be perfect for a before and after of your new listing.
Idea: How you dress differently on inspection day vs meeting a new client day.
Idea: The before and after staging and landscaping, use the eyes and mouth overlay to speak for the house.
This trend begs the question: what is it that would raise you from the grave? Film yourself rising up (or falling down and reverse it when you edit it) and add text to show what it is that’s giving you life.
Idea: When the client you helped buy a home 7 years ago calls again looking for help with their sale and to purchase a new home (bonus points if it’s a true story that you can tie in with a testimonial).
But it’s over and you’re driving me home
Romanticizing, reminiscing, or showing the process of something like a big realization, this trend relies on text over your video to give context to what you’re dong in the video as you walk and start to run with the build up of the music.
Idea: Showcase what it’s been like becoming a real estate agent over time, use text to show to many lessons you learned along the way.
Reels:
What you lookin’ for? (on TikTok too)
You can dance to this, or you can use some b-roll and text to explain what it is that you do and who might be looking for you.
Idea: B-Roll of you working on your computer, text reads you are a real estate agent in your area specializing in x, y, and z, finish the video lip syncing “I’ve got what you’re looking for”
Is it gonna be easy? Is it gonna be worth it?
Buying a home isn’t easy but it’s worth it, and with an agent who is all in it’s easier than it sounds. Share how you make the process easy by using this audio to show a testimonial, or share your services and expertise.
Idea: Add text over b-roll from a recent testimonial explaining how a recent transaction didn’t go so smoothly, but how you stepped in to make it easier on your clients.
I have this thing (on TikTok too)
What’s something you have that no one else does? This could be a question you can answer, a tool you suggest, or a service you provide that’s unique.
Idea: Start with text that shares the problem, then lip sync to the audio and change the text to the solution.
