Building a 30-Day Social Media Plan for a Sales Agent.
Social media works best when people see you regularly and learn something useful. It should not feel like a long list of property advertisements.
Social media works best when people see you regularly and learn something useful. It should not feel like a long list of property advertisements. A good plan helps local owners understand the market, get to know you and feel confident asking for advice.
A 30-day plan does not mean publishing every day. It should include time for creating content, replying to people, recording videos and reviewing results. For most sales agents, three useful posts each week is a sensible start.
Start with one clear goal.
Choose the main result you want from the month. Your goal might be to:
Become better known in one suburb.
Generate more property appraisal enquiries.
Build relationships with local homeowners.
Explain your selling process more clearly.
Show your experience in a certain type of property.
One goal helps you choose better topics. If your focus is appraisals, your content should answer the questions owners ask before deciding to sell.
Choose four content themes.
Using a small group of themes makes planning easier and keeps your page interesting.
Local property knowledge: Share observations about recent sales, buyer demand and changes in the area.
Seller education: Explain pricing, presentation, marketing, offers and negotiation in plain English.
Proof of experience: Use reviews, campaign stories and results to show how you work. Protect private information.
People and community: Introduce team members, support local businesses and show the person behind the agent.
Using all four themes prevents your page from becoming a row of sold signs and property photos.
A practical 30-day plan.
This plan includes twelve main posts and simple supporting tasks. Move the days to suit your listings, local events and workload.
Week 1: Set the foundation
Day 1: Choose your main goal and the local audience you want to reach.
Day 2: Write down ten questions that owners often ask during appraisals.
Day 3: Publish a seller tip that answers one of those questions.
Day 4: Spend 15 minutes replying to comments and local posts.
Day 5: Share a useful observation about your local property market.
Day 6: Record two short videos while the office or local area is quiet.
Day 7: Review the week and note which topic gained a genuine response.
Week 2: Show how you work
Day 8: Share a campaign story that explains a decision made for a vendor.
Day 9: Prepare a simple carousel answering a common selling question.
Day 10: Publish the carousel with a clear and helpful caption.
Day 11: Share a short behind-the-scenes story from your working day.
Day 12: Publish one of the videos recorded during the previous week.
Day 13: Ask a question about a local property issue and join the conversation.
Day 14: Check messages and follow up any genuine enquiries personally.
Week 3: Build local recognition
Day 15: Feature a local street, park, school area or community improvement.
Day 16: Draft a post about a mistake owners can avoid when preparing to sell.
Day 17: Publish that advice without using fear or artificial urgency.
Day 18: Visit or mention a local business that your audience may appreciate.
Day 19: Share a recent result and explain what made the campaign work.
Day 20: Record a quick answer to another common appraisal question.
Day 21: Review comments, saves, shares, profile visits and direct messages.
Week 4: Create trust and invite a conversation
Day 22: Publish the short answer recorded on Day 20.
Day 23: Share a client review with a short note about what the feedback means.
Day 24: Explain one part of your selling process that owners often find confusing.
Day 25: Prepare a simple local market update using facts you can explain.
Day 26: Publish the update and invite owners to ask about their property.
Day 27: Share a team, community or personal post that still fits your professional image.
Day 28: Set aside one hour to prepare two posts for the following month.
Day 29: Review which topics created useful conversations, not only the most views.
Day 30: Choose next month’s goal and carry forward the strongest content theme.
Use a checklist before publishing.
Before any post goes live, ask:
Is this useful to a local property owner?
Does it have one clear point?
Is the opening easy to understand?
Have I used normal language instead of real estate jargon?
Is every claim accurate and fair?
Have I protected client and buyer privacy?
Is there a natural next step when one is needed?
Does this sound like something I would say in person?
Keep the plan realistic.
The best plan is one you can continue. Three thoughtful posts each week are better than seven rushed posts that all sound the same. Leave room for live campaigns and genuine local news.
At the end of the month, look beyond likes. Pay attention to direct messages, useful comments, appraisal conversations, profile visits and people who mention your content. These signs show whether local owners are getting to know you, trusting your advice and remembering you when the time comes to sell.
