1. Prop the phone on a mug
You do not need a ring light or a tripod. A coffee mug, a window, and the phone you already own are the whole studio.
Post your first reel: for agents who have never made a video
Post your first reel in seven days, with the phone already in your pocket.
First Reel Academy is a seven-day course that helps real estate agents post your first reel, even if you have never recorded yourself. One short video a day, no editing, no ring light, no script. By day seven you have seven reels on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube Shorts and TikTok, and the habit that keeps them coming. One payment of $29, no subscription.
How you post your first reel in three steps
Most video advice for real estate agents starts with gear. This course, however, starts with the thing that actually stops you: pressing record. Every day has one job, so none of them takes more than twenty minutes.
2. Say one thing you told a client this week
You already answered twenty questions this week. Pick one and answer it again, to the lens, the way you said it on the phone.
3. Post it before you review it
Fifteen seconds, one take, published. The first one is supposed to be rough. It still beats a listing photo nobody watches.
The First Reel Course
Seven daily lessons, each under ten minutes, with a shot list, a bank of opening lines, and a posting calendar you keep after the week is over. Because every lesson ends with a reel you post the same day, there is nothing to catch up on later. $29, paid once, and the lessons stay open for good. A 30-day money-back guarantee if you post nothing.
Who should post your first reel with us
You are a licensed agent with listings, clients and a phone, and you have never posted a video of yourself. Perhaps you hate how you sound. Or you do not know what to say. Some agents tried once, watched it back, and deleted it. This course was built for exactly that person, not for the agent who already posts every day. If that is you, then the seven days below are the shortest route to your first reel.
What agents say
The first cohort starts this month. Until their reels are up, the honest answer is that there are no reviews yet, and we would rather show you none than show you fake ones. See how reviews will work.
Questions before you start?
Write to us and a person answers, usually within one business day. Contact First Reel Academy. If you want to see what reels look like on the platform first, Instagram’s own guide to reels is a good place to start. The reel you record in the course is a plain vertical video, so it posts unchanged to Facebook Reels, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Snapchat Spotlight, LinkedIn and Pinterest as well.
