20 of the best real estate Instagram accounts to follow

With its focus on photos and videos, Instagram is a great place for real estate agents to showcase their listings and personalities. It allows agents to be visible to their existing network while expanding their networks and gaining new followers (prospective clients). You can build trust over time with your audience by posting consistently, and how you brand yourself is totally within your control.

Check out our top real estate Instagram accounts and give them a follow. You’ll find inspiration, content you can share plus creative ideas to borrow for your own IG account.

1. The Broke Agent @thebrokeagent 

Content style: Comedic, satire
Direct link: @thebrokeagent 

Run by Eric Simon, The Broke Agent is a welcome dose of comic relief in the stressful life of an agent. Witty and relatable, Eric’s posts add levity to the real estate industry; one of my favorite accounts to follow.

Actionable insights

  • Sprinkle some humor into your posts to break up the “just listed” and “just sold” monotony.
  • Use relatable content to connect on a deeper level with your audience.

2. NAR Research @narresearch 

Content style: Data, informative
Direct link: @narresearch 

NAR’s research IG account is a goldmine of infographics that are easily shared with your audience, making you look like an economic expert. The posts are visually appealing and simple enough for the general public to understand.
