A Feed of Listings Is a Portal With Fewer Properties In It
Posting your available stock puts you in a comparison you cannot win: the portals have everything, update faster and are where people already look. What you have that they do not is knowing things — what that street is actually like on a weekday morning, why the flats on one side of it are cheaper, what the survey usually finds on those roofs. Almost none of that ever gets published.

Six things worth publishing that are not a property
Every one of these is something you say out loud several times a week and have never written down. Each is more useful to a buyer than another listing.
- What that street is actually likeParking, noise, the school run
- What surveys keep finding hereBy housing type · specific
- Why one side is cheaperAnd whether it should be
- What a chain collapse costsIn money and in months
- What actually adds valueAnd the two things that do not
- What the paperwork stage involvesThe part everyone finds opaque
The fifth row is the one sellers ask about constantly and get vague answers to. Being specific — that this kind of extension rarely returns its cost here, that this kind of work does — is genuinely useful, costs nothing to say, and marks you out from every agency posting a carousel of kitchens. It is also the content most likely to produce a valuation call, which is the thing a portal is not competing for.
The valuation is the goal, and it is not what listings attract
A buyer scrolling past your listing was going to look on a portal anyway. A seller wondering what their house is worth, or whether now is the moment, is a different person entirely — and they are not scrolling for properties. They are trying to work out whether the person they call knows what they are talking about. Everything worth posting follows from taking that seriously.
That reframes the content problem completely. Instead of a production line of listing carousels, the plan becomes: what did you explain to somebody this week that they were surprised by? What question keeps coming up at viewings? What did a survey turn up that changed a price? Those are three or four posts a week from conversations that already happened, and they require no photography budget at all.
Sold properties are worth posting and rarely worth posting as a boast. “Sold in nine days” means very little to somebody who does not know what it was priced at or what condition it was in. The same property, described honestly — what it needed, what the sticking point was, what the seller decided to do about it — is a demonstration of competence rather than a claim of it.
Where listings do belong is in the format that portals genuinely cannot match: a walk-through filmed on a phone, in one take, with somebody talking. Not the polished tour, which the portal has. The version where somebody points out that the third bedroom is small but the loft is boarded. Honesty is the only thing you can offer that a portal structurally cannot.
- ✓Post for the seller, not the scroller — The buyer was going to a portal anyway.
- ✓This week’s conversations are the plan — What surprised somebody. What keeps coming up at viewings.
- ✓Sold posts: describe, do not boast — "Nine days" means nothing without the price and the condition.
- ✓One-take walk-throughs, with a voice — Not the polished tour. The portal already has that.
- ✓Honesty is the unmatched advantage — A portal structurally cannot say the third bedroom is small.

What we run for an agency
Six things, and none of them is a listing carousel.
This Week’s Conversations
What you explained that surprised somebody, what keeps coming up at viewings, what a survey turned up. Three or four posts a week from things that already happened.
Street-Level Knowledge
Parking, noise, the school run, why one side is cheaper. The things you say out loud every week and have never written down anywhere.
One-Take Walk-Throughs
Filmed on a phone with somebody talking, including what is not perfect. The polished tour is already on the portal; the honest one is not and cannot be.
What Adds Value, Specifically
Which work returns its cost in this area and which does not. The question sellers ask constantly and receive vague answers to, and the one most likely to earn a valuation call.
Sold Posts That Explain
What it needed, what the sticking point was, what was decided. A demonstration of competence rather than a claim, which is what "sold in nine days" is.
Valuation Enquiries Handled
Answered quickly, by somebody who can actually book one. The whole point of the account, and routinely the slowest thing about it.

— Our Proprietary Methodology —
The Visibility Framework™, applied in Real Estate
The method doesn’t change by market. What it’s pointed at does.
Audit & Listen
Existing accounts, competitor feeds, audience demographics and every comment and review already written about you. Ends with a recommendation on which platforms to keep.
Position & Plan
Content pillars, brand voice, visual direction and a first calendar — agreed with you before a single post is produced.
Produce & Publish
Shooting, editing, writing, scheduling and replying. The part that has to happen every week without fail, which is where most in-house efforts quietly stop.
Amplify & Refine
Budget behind proven pieces, formats that underperform dropped, and the calendar rewritten monthly around what the data actually said.
Honest, No-Nonsense Commitment
Nobody controls a platform’s algorithm, so we will never promise you a viral post or a follower number. What we do commit to: the agreed content volume ships every month, every comment and DM is answered inside the agreed window, and if we miss either, that month is on us.
Social Media Management pricing for Real Estate, in USD
Priced monthly. This is the sector where the raw material genuinely has to come from you — nobody outside the office knows what the survey found or why one side of the road is cheaper. What we need is about twenty minutes a week of your time; everything after that is ours.

What you’re actually committing to
Most agencies keep this in a contract you only see after the sales call. We would rather you knew now, because it is the question everyone asks second — right after the price.
- A 3-month initial term, then month to monthThree months is the shortest period in which a content approach can be judged honestly — month one is mostly setup and production. The wider industry standard is 6 to 12 months.
- 30 days’ notice to stopNo exit fee and no buy-out of the months you haven’t used. You leave when you decide to, not when the contract lets you.
- No setup or onboarding feeThe audit is free, and month one costs exactly what month two costs. Nothing is front-loaded.
- You own everythingAccounts, page roles, ad accounts, raw footage and every finished asset — in your name from day one, and still yours if we part ways.
- Ad spend never touches our invoiceYou pay the platform directly and keep the billing under your own control. Our fee is our fee.
- An agreed response windowThe time we commit to replying to comments and DMs is written into your agreement, not left to goodwill.
These are the terms as they appear in the agreement itself — nothing here is softened for the website. The full wording lives in our terms and conditions, and you get the agreement to read before anything is signed or invoiced.
