What Realtors Should Be Doing On Instagram in 2026 to Get Leads
Episode Description
Instagram in 2026 is not about going viral, posting pretty homes, or chasing trends.
It’s about clarity, trust, and conversations.
In this episode, Broker & Real Estate Educator Althea Hearst breaks down exactly how Realtors should be using Instagram in 2026 if they want real visibility, real engagement, and real leads—not just likes and views.
This conversation goes beyond surface-level social media tips and dives into how the algorithm actually works, what type of content builds trust, why saves matter more than likes, and how Realtors should be positioning themselves as educators and decision guides—not performers.
If you’re posting consistently but not seeing results, this episode will shift how you approach Instagram entirely.
