9 Short-Form Video Ideas Realtors Should Try This October
October is one of the most dynamic months for real estate content, and short-form video is leading the way for agents who want to stay visible, build trust, and connect with modern buyers and sellers.
If you’ve been stuck on what to post this month, use these nine ideas to spark engagement and drive brand growth.
1. Spooky Real Estate Stories
Share a funny or unexpected showing story or that one haunted-house listing experience every agent remembers. Audiences love quick, story-driven videos—especially ones that show your personality.
2. Neighborhood Fall Tours
Film your favorite local pumpkin patch, haunted house, or fall festival. Tag local businesses and mention your city to boost visibility and connect with your community.
3. Before & After: Fall Décor Boost
Show a fast transformation—plain listing photos turned into cozy, fall-themed staging. Add quick tips such as “3 ways to make your listing feel like fall.”
4. 60-Second Market Update
Record a short video with your local market snapshot: current prices, days on market, or what buyers should know before year-end. Add text overlays to keep viewers watching.
5. Local Business Shoutout
Highlight a local coffee shop or restaurant with great fall vibes. Tagging businesses helps expand your reach and builds authentic local connections.
6. October Homeowner Tips
Create a 30-second video with helpful fall reminders: cleaning gutters, prepping HVAC systems, or energy-saving ideas. These quick tips position you as a trusted expert, not just a salesperson.
7. Quick Client Testimonial
Ask a recent buyer or seller to record a 15-second clip sharing their experience with you. Real, unscripted testimonials build more credibility than polished ads.
8. Open House Sneak Peek
Film a behind-the-scenes look at setting up a fall-themed open house—pumpkin treats, warm scents, and small details that make your listing feel inviting.
9. Day-in-the-Life
Take your audience through a real day as an agent: morning coffee, property tours, closings, and everything in between. People connect with authenticity, not perfection.
Pro Tip
Keep every video under 90 seconds. Use trending seasonal music, clear text overlays, and post on Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook. Consistency beats perfection every time.
Final Thought
Your audience doesn’t need cinematic production—they just need to see you showing up. October is your moment to refresh your content and reconnect with clients before the holiday slowdown.
