When Instagram launched Reels in 2020, people were skeptical of whether it was a passing trend or here to stay.

It was just another feature that would change the algorithm. It seemed too similar to TikTok. And a little clunky to use.

But it didn’t take long to understand its potential (which is why we put together our Ultimate Guide To Instagram Reels For Real Estate Agents).

Fast forward over a year later, and Instagram Reels has cemented its position as a key feature of the app.

Reels give content creators, marketers and yes, real estate agents, an opportunity to communicate useful, eye-opening or funny content in a way that’s engaging, shareable and keeps viewers’ attention.
