To the person thinking about moving to [City Name, State], here’s my advice as a [X]-year local 👀

🏘️ Explore more than one neighborhood. Every area has its own vibe, so take time to see what actually feels right for you.

☕️ Think about your day-to-day life. Commutes, coffee spots, parks, grocery stores, and walkability matter more than most people expect.

🕰️ Visit at different times. A neighborhood can feel totally different on a quiet weekday versus a busy weekend.

📍 Ask about local-favorite pockets. Some of the best areas aren’t the most talked about online, but locals love them for a reason.

🤝 Work with someone who knows the market beyond the listings. Timing, pricing, and off-market opportunities can make all the difference.

If [City Name] is on your radar and you want help narrowing down the right areas for your lifestyle, send me a message or drop a 🏡 below.

Instructions

1. Upload your video clip into the Instagram Edits app (watch the tutorial here). Use 1 local clip, keeping it 5-7 seconds. Use your strongest clip and make sure it matches the hook.

Note: If you need extra b-roll, grab free stock clips from dupephotos.com or download the app.

2. Add your hook and customize it to work for your location, ideal client, and the vibe of the video.

3. Select your font and text style. We recommend using white text with no background and a moderate size for best readability. Fonts we love: Classic, Directional, Advercase, and Danmark.

4. Add your trending audio. Choose audio with the trending arrow that fits the vibe of the reel.

5. Export the reel from Edits, then upload it into the Instagram app.

6. Customize your caption before posting. Copy and paste the caption above into Instagram and update key details (i.e. city, neighborhood, ideal client, listing info, etc.).

7. Add a lead magnet call-to-action at the end of your caption. Include a simple call-to-action that aligns well with the post to grow your email list. Watch this training series to learn how to set this up.

8. Tag your location and any featured businesses. Add your city as the post location, and tag / invite collaborators for any local businesses featured. Then post!
