Once you have used these hashtags you can find new ideas from the most popular #hashtags on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Linkedin.
Pinterest Hashtags
You use Hashtags for searches and pin descriptions. Pinterest uses #hashtags in pin descriptions to rank pins in internal search results. Pinterest then uses #hashtags as a filter when you are doing searches. Here is an example using real estate hashtags.
In 2023, Pinterest remains the best social media platform for any realtor to focus on. I’ve got a great step-by-step tutorial if you want to get started with Pinterest here is a link.
Instagram Hashtags
You use Hashtags on Instagram to filter interests, people, and places. Follow the examples from left to right.
You can target a neighborhood or type of real estate.(See my post on real estate niches for more hashtag ideas) You should include a phone number for open houses.
Facebook Hashtags
Hashtags provide a little-known real estate marketing advantage on Facebook. You can see not many people post using hashtags.
- Post your listings OR your logo and phone number using #[NEIGHBORHOOD]
- DO this ONCE every TEN times you post to Facebook.
LinkedIn Hashtags
Google is good at identifying keywords. Using hashtags on Google Plus guarantees you’re post will be associated with the keywords and location you are interested in.
6 More Real Estate Hashtag Tips
- Use one or two hashtags per post on Pinterest or Twitter
- Use 2-3 hashtags per post on Facebook and Google +
- Use as many hashtags as make sense on Instagram (Read the case study below for more information.)
- Hashtags need to make sense in the context of your post on ALL platforms
- Specific hashtags are usually better than general hashtags. IE: #denverhighlands is better than #denverrealestate
- You can make posts with large hashtag sets look cleaner by commenting the hashtag sets instead of leaving them in the description.
Case Study of a Top Agent’s Instagram Hashtags
Joyce Rey has been the #1 luxury real estate agent for Los Angeles forever. I’ve had the pleasure of working with her personally, and I can assure you her Instagram is a prime model for learning.
She has over $6 billion in sales, over 6000 Instagram posts, and over 110,000 followers. If you’re in luxury real estate, her account is the gold standard. Let’s study exactly how she uses hashtags.
Best Luxury Real Estate Hashtags
The list below includes the exact hashtags that Joyce’s team uses on a very regular basis. They comprise her core hashtag set, especially for Just Sold and Just Listed posts.
- #luxurylistings
- #luxuryrealestate
- #beachfrontproperty
- #vacationhome
- #luxuryliving
- #hauteliving
- #realestate
- #listing
- #hauteresidence
- #TrophyListing
- #(Insert State)Mansion
- #(Insert City)Mansion
- #(Luxury Neighborhood)
- #igmansions
- #interiordesign
- #architecturaldesign
- #designinspo
- #architecturaldigest
- #ColdwellBanker (aka brokerage name)
Post Diversification
Joyce’s Instagram uses a variety of posts, which we break down in the next section. Her diversification is relevant to hashtag use because the number and kind of hashtags she uses varies greatly depending on her post type.
Some posts, like her topical reels, exist for branding purposes and speak directly to her existing followers. For these posts, she uses 1 or 2 hashtags at most, but usually she doesn’t use hashtags at all.
Other posts, like her architectural style showcases, have far broader appeal that goes beyond her existing audience. For these posts, she uses 5 to 10 hashtags.
I find this method very clever. Often marketing experts encourage real estate agents to use hashtags sparingly, saying 2-4 hashtags per post is the sweet spot. Well, Joyce presents a more nuanced and diversified strategy that I recommend imitating. Let’s break it down.
Types of Instagram Posts
Listing Posts (67%)
Property listing posts are the bulk of Joyce’s Instagram content. About ⅔ of her content is dedicated to informing her audience of their current available properties. Depending on how long the properties stay on the market, a single listing may get reposted 2-4 times.
Example Hashtags Sets for Listed Properties
Use these hashtags sets as great examples of what real luxury real estate agents use in their Instagram marketing.

Branded and Personal Posts (10%)
Many realtors shy away from getting too personal on their social media handles. We’re certainly not suggesting you post funeral selfies on your brokerage Instagram account, but we absolutely recommend giving your audience a view into your life.
The example post above is poignant and sweet. It gives a sentimental snapshot of Joyce’s life without oversharing. It’s excellent for your lead funnel because people are much more likely to contact you when they feel like they already know you a bit.
That particular post is about as personal as Joyce’s Instagram gets. She balances these personal posts with a variety of branded posts.
Ideas for Branded Posts
- Holiday Posts
- Company Events
- New Team Member Profiles
- Family Photos
- Speaking & Networking Events
- Awards
Architecture, Interior Design, and Vacation Spot Posts (8%)
Showcasing beautiful interiors, exteriors, and holiday locales remains on brand for the team and relevant to their audience. The broad appeal allows for a wide reach that can collect likes and comments on a level that listing posts just can’t.
It’s wise to copy this technique, but do so sparingly. As with most of their content, the team does not always include them for every post. When you do include them, go for hashtag blocks comprising 10-15 hashtags to increase your post reach.
Hastag Sets for Broad Appeal Posts
- #mexico #vacation #vacationhomes #realestate #beautiful #views #tropical #beach #travel #wanderlust #forsale #landscape #instatravel #reels #love #nature #sea #traveltheworld #joycereyrealestate #coldwellbanker
- #interiordesign #architecturaldesign #coldwellbanker #designinspo #losangeles #architecturaldigest
Topical Reels (5%)
Instagram Reels are 30-60 second videos which appear in the main feed as well as the special Reels feed. In Joyce’s case, they cover subjects like:
- Favorite Homes I’ve Sold
- My Favorite Vacation Spots
- Advice to Young Realtors
In doing so, they develop her personal brand while remaining relevant to real estate in general. She leverages video to humanize herself, which is essential for real estate marketing in 2023. It’s the primary benefit of using video marketing as an agent.
Joyce’s Reels typically last 30-60 seconds and sometimes include a guest. Often they omit hashtags completely. When they do use hashtags, it’s typically something broad like #traveltuesday or #thinkpositivethoughts.
Just Sold Posts (5%)
Another small fraction of Instagram real estate posts are devoted to success stories. About half of the time, the team includes hashtags. Typically, they use 4-6 hashtags if anything at all.
Hashtag Sets for Just Listed Posts
- #TrophyListing #LuxuryListings #CaliforniaMansion #igmansions #justsold
- #joycerey #beverlyhills #beverlyhillsestate #justsold #coldwellbanker
How to Find Great Local Hashtags
1. Reverse Engineer Competitors
Especially if your market is well populated, the best way to find strong local hashtags is to follow your competitors. Create a bank of potential local hashtags, but be sure to check on their monthly volume.
The smaller your local population, the less hashtags with significant volume will be available. However, it’s important not to overlook the potential of local hashtags.
For example, if you live in a remote region with a new luxury development, create a hashtag around it. It’s unlikely that people will find your posts by searching those niche hashtags, but they will be able to find your other listed properties for that development by clicking the relevant hashtag on your post. It’s a strong method of making your posts navigable for those in the market.
2. Hashtag Generator Apps
Another option is using hashtag generator apps. There are several that are decent and available for free. To be honest, the results can be underwhelming at times. However, if Instagram is an important lead funnel for you, it can be worth the attempt.
Model Instagram Accounts
Use these Instagram allstars to copy their strategies, whether for real estate hashtags or anything else. They all have their IG game down.
