Just Listed Social Posts: Templates and Checks in 24–48 Hours
A professional just-listed pack should include a portrait and square feed image, a vertical Reel or Story, a short walkthrough video, a carousel, and a floorplan or listing link with built-in CTA copy, so you convert scrolls into listing clicks and inspections. The goal is simple: turn passive attention into a saved post, a contact reveal, or a booked inspection. With a template-based workflow, that full set can go from capture to published post in 24 to 48 hours.
TL;DR:
Export separate files at 1080×1350 for portrait feeds, 1080×1080 for square placements, and 1080×1920 for vertical Stories and Reels to prevent cropping errors.
Verify price, inspection times, property features, and current condition against the listing agreement; disclose paid partnerships and monitor comments for misleading claims.
Prioritize saves, shares, and link clicks during the first 72 hours, then track contact reveals and inspection registrations over the following two weeks.
Draft the CTA first, then prepare verified price, bedroom and bathroom counts, inspection times, listing link, and contact instructions before personalizing captions.

What to include in a ready-to-post just-listed pack
Each asset in a just-listed pack does a different job in the buyer’s decision path. A hero image stops the scroll. A walkthrough reel extends time spent with the listing. A floorplan paired with inspection times converts that attention into a booking. Treat the pack as a small campaign rather than a single post, because a just-listed announcement performs best when it functions as the opening asset that links through to a destination with photos, video, floorplan, and inspection details, a pattern PropTrack’s buyer-behavior research ties to stronger buyer engagement.
A minimal, ready-to-post pack includes:
A 4:5 portrait feed image for the main scroll-stopping hero shot.
A 1:1 square feed image for grid consistency and secondary placements.
A 9:16 vertical Reel or Story for the announcement moment.
A 15 to 60 second walkthrough reel covering the property’s best rooms.
A 3 to 5 image carousel sequenced to tell a logical story, street view to hero room to standout feature.
A floorplan or PDF link, plus a listing link card.
CTA copy snippets ready to drop into captions.
Choose your strongest, best-lit image as the hero asset before building anything else, since every other asset in the pack takes its cue from that image. Name your exported files by placement (hero-feed-45, hero-square, reel-walkthrough) so nothing gets swapped during scheduling.
Image and video size guide: exports for feed, stories, and portals
Sizing mistakes are the fastest way to undercut a strong hero image, so export separately for every placement rather than resizing one master file on the fly.
Export 1080×1350 px (4:5) for portrait feed posts.
Export 1080×1080 px (1:1) for square feed and grid placements.
Export 1080×1920 px (9:16) for Stories and Reels.
Separate exports per placement prevent cropping errors that cut off faces, signage, or price details. This is standard guidance from platform sizing references, which recommend producing distinct files rather than relying on automatic cropping.
For video, keep walkthrough reels vertical, 15 to 60 seconds, exported as MP4 with H.264 compression, and mind the vertical safe zone so captions and UI overlays don’t cover key features. Before export, confirm sRGB color profile, check sharpness at 1:1 zoom, and avoid over-compressing your hero shots. For portal-specific presets, our realestate.com.au image size guide walks through the exact dimensions that platform expects.
Caption and CTA templates agents can personalize fast
A caption template only works if it leaves clear fill-in fields and ends with one unmistakable action. Build a small library you can adapt per listing rather than writing from scratch every time.
Quick hook + CTA: “Just listed in [suburb]. [Beds]/[baths], [standout feature]. Link in bio for the full listing.”
Inspection-booking template: “Open for inspection [day, time]. [Price guide if disclosed]. Message us to book a private viewing.”
Vendor-friendly update: “Proud to bring this [property type] to market. [One key fact]. Full details and floorplan via the link.”
Contact-reveal prompt: “Interested? Comment ‘INFO’ and we’ll send the full listing pack straight to your inbox.”
Each template needs the same fill-in fields ready before you write: price guide (if disclosed), beds and baths, inspection times, the listing link, and whichever contact-reveal step you’re using. Keep a short rotation of location and property-type hashtags rather than a long generic list, and double-check that price and condition language matches what’s actually been verified, not what sounds best.
Pro Tip: Write the CTA line first, then build the rest of the caption around it, so the action never gets buried under property description.
Compliance and disclosure: what to check before you post
A just-listed post is advertising, not a casual update, and Australian rules treat it that way. The ACCC’s social media promotions guidance is explicit that statements about price, condition, and availability must be true, accurate, and provable, and that advertisers can be held responsible for misleading content on their own pages, including comments left by others. Separately, the Ad Standards distinguishable advertising guidance sets the expectation that promotional content is clearly identifiable as advertising, with disclosure required for paid or sponsored arrangements.
Before you schedule anything, run through this checklist:
Verify price, inspection times, and any claimed features against the listing agreement.
Confirm the image shown actually matches the current state of the property.
Add disclosure language if the post involves a paid partnership or boosted placement.
Monitor comments after posting and remove anything misleading about price or condition.
Building this check into the template stage, rather than adding it after design is finished, saves a scramble later.
How to measure a just-listed launch beyond likes
Likes and raw enquiry counts are the weakest signals in a just-listed campaign. PropTrack’s buyer-behavior research finds that deeper engagement metrics, saves, shares, time on listing, and contact reveals, correlate more strongly with serious buyer intent than first enquiries do. The same research links vertical video specifically to higher view counts and stronger serious-buyer signals, which is one more reason the walkthrough reel earns its place in the pack.
Track these in priority order:
Listing saves and shares.
Time spent on the listing page.
Contact reveals and link clicks.
Inspection registrations or “add to plan” actions.
In the first 72 hours, watch saves, shares, and link clicks closely, since that window shows whether the hero asset and caption are doing their job. Over the following two weeks, shift attention to inspection registrations and contact reveals, the signals that actually predict a sale.
Fast collateral workflow: ready to post in 24 to 48 hours
A repeatable workflow is what makes the 24 to 48 hour turnaround realistic, not just aspirational.
Capture images, video, and floorplan in a single on-site visit.
Select hero images for feed, square, and vertical placements.
Apply templates, then edit captions and disclosure language per listing.
Export each asset to its correct placement size.
Schedule and publish across platforms.
Monitor KPIs starting at the 72-hour mark.
Batching capture, reusing caption snippets, and keeping a compliance checklist attached to the template cuts most of the time agents normally lose to back-and-forth editing. This workflow involves AI-assisted images, 2D and 3D floorplans, short video outputs, and ready-to-use social templates, delivered within 18 to 48 hours of capture. Our floorplan requirements and delivery guide covers the portal-specific timing agents ask about most.
Pro Tip: Lock your caption templates and compliance checklist before the shoot, not after, so the only thing left to do post-capture is drop in the specifics.
Using AI-generated collateral to lift visual quality
AI-generated images, floorplans, and short video can fill real gaps in a just-listed pack, particularly when natural light, staging, or weather worked against the original capture. A cleaned-up hero image or a polished 2D floorplan gives a listing the same visual consistency across every post in the pack, which matters more than any single image on its own. Agents increasingly use AI-rendered plans and enhanced images alongside standard photography rather than instead of it, pairing a genuine walkthrough reel with a sharper, better-lit hero shot for the feed.
The practical upside is speed paired with polish: a floorplan that would normally take days to draft can be ready same-day, and enhanced images slot directly into the same 4:5, 1:1, and 9:16 export sizes as standard photography, so the workflow doesn’t change, only the quality ceiling does. For captions and broader creative direction, reviewing premium listing presentation from established agents, such as the lifestyle-driven approach on Shayna Davidov Hanson’s blog, is a useful reference point for how polished collateral and copy work together in a competitive market.
For agents managing several listings a week, this is where templates and AI-assisted assets compound: once the pipeline exists, each new listing moves through it with the same consistency, not a one-off effort rebuilt from scratch. Our AI real estate marketing guide covers how these pieces fit together in a standard listing launch.
Why a template-first launch changes the outcome
Templates remove the guesswork that slows most just-listed launches. Agents who standardize sizes, captions, and compliance checks publish faster and more consistently, and consistency is what buyers notice across a feed over time. The payoff shows up less in any single post and more in steadier engagement, cleaner handoffs between listings, and fewer late-night scrambles before an open home.

FAQ
What should a just-listed social media pack include?
At minimum, include a 4:5 portrait feed image, a 1:1 square image, a 9:16 vertical Reel or Story, a short walkthrough video, a 3 to 5 image carousel, and a floorplan or listing link with CTA copy. Each asset plays a distinct role, from stopping the scroll to converting attention into an inspection booking.
What image sizes work best for Instagram feed and Stories?
Export 1080×1350 pixels for portrait feed posts, 1080×1080 pixels for square posts, and 1080×1920 pixels for Stories and Reels, producing a separate file for each placement according to standard platform sizing guidance. Avoid relying on one master image resized automatically, since that often crops out key details.
Do just-listed posts need to follow advertising rules?
Yes. The ACCC’s guidance on social media promotions treats listing posts as advertising, meaning price, condition, and availability claims must be true, accurate, and provable, and advertisers are responsible for misleading comments left on their own posts.
How do I know if a just-listed post is actually working?
Look past likes to saves, shares, time on listing, contact reveals, and inspection registrations, which PropTrack’s buyer-behavior research links more closely to serious buyer intent than raw enquiry counts. Track engagement closely in the first 72 hours, then shift to inspection and contact metrics over the following two weeks.
How fast can a full just-listed collateral pack be ready?
With a template-based workflow covering capture, hero selection, templating, export, and scheduling, a full pack can be ready in 24 to 48 hours. Service-backed options like Blistr’s collateral packages commit to delivery within 18 to 48 hours of the property capture.
