The Best Real Estate Social Media Accounts on Instagram

Since Instagram is nearly 100% visual, it’s one of the trickiest social channels for real estate agents to use. Whether you’re posting images, videos, or Stories, your feed is held to different standards than most other channels. Visuals on Instagram must always be clean, authentic and be able to communicate your brand story. It’s worth the effort you put into it though, because using Instagram to build your network and generate leads is among the best real estate social media marketing strategies.

Here are the best real estate accounts on Instagram:

The Best Real Estate Agent X (“Twitter”) Accounts

X (formerly known as Twitter) might not be the best channel for networking but it’s great for industry news, tips, and inspiration for creating your own real estate social media posts. We’ve combed through countless real estate agents’ X accounts to bring you a few must-follow profiles which offer those benefits in spades.

The Best Real Estate Agent Facebook Accounts

In the realm of social media, Facebook is king. It has more more active users and communities than any other social platform and allows for the most diverse mix of posts: imagery, video, text without character limits, real estate hashtags, and multi-way interaction—not to mention the ability to comment on and reply to posts with images and video.

These real estate-specific Facebook pages do a superb job leveraging this powerful channel to disseminate helpful information to agents.

5. Tom Ferry

Of course Tom Ferry (legendary son of the legendary Mike Ferry) makes the list. According to his Facebook bio, he’s described as the “#1 Real Estate Coach, Best-Selling Author, Motivational Speaker & Investor.” That pretty much sums it up.

What Social Media Do REALTORS® Use Most?

Facebook and Instagram (both owned by Meta) definitely belong at the top due to their popularity and built-in lead-capturing functionality (called the Lead Ads Manager).

But it’s important to note that, while Facebook and Instagram are most likely to produce the best results in terms of lead generation, the list above isn’t necessarily a ranking. Because identifying “the best” social media platform is ultimately going to depend on which one helps you achieve your unique business goals.
