If you’re a loan officer not doing video right now, it’s not just a missed opportunity—it’s costing you deals.
Video is the most powerful marketing tool you’re not using. The stats prove it, the algorithms favor it, and the most successful LOs in the country are already winning with it.
And here’s the kicker: you’ll automatically be ahead of most of your competition just by showing up on camera.
Still relying on flyers, mailers, or “staying top of mind” through occasional posts? That’s not going to cut it in a digital-first world. Your future clients are online right now, watching videos, searching for mortgage answers, and deciding who to trust before they ever reach out. If you’re not showing up on their screens, your competitors will.
Let’s get clear: this is no longer a trend—it’s survival. And the sooner you lean in, the faster you’ll build visibility, trust, and conversions.

Why Hyper-Local = Higher Reach + More Clients
Video + geotargeting is the algorithmic cheat code. Tag your city/neighborhood in captions, filenames, descriptions, hashtags, and even in your spoken words.
Example: Don’t say: “Rates are down this week.” Say: “If you’re buying in Dallas, rates just dropped again.”
Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, and Google pick that up—leading to more local relevance, more local eyeballs, and more local deals.

🧩 Putting It All Together: How to Make Reels and Short Videos That Actually Work
You don’t need a studio. You don’t need a script. You just need to show up with value—and do it fast.
- Grab attention immediately: Within 60 seconds (ideally 45), share just one thing: a quick market tip, myth-buster, or recent client success.
- Double-dip your content: Post to Reels, TikTok, Shorts—then reuse the same video in email, landing pages, and text follow-ups.
- Boost your visibility: Add captions, relevant hashtags, local city mentions, and tag Realtor partners or clients (with permission).
🎬 Simple 4-Step Execution Plan
- Pick one topic your clients ask all the time (e.g., “3 reasons to get pre-approved before house hunting”).
- Record a 45-second video using your phone—no editing required.
- Post it everywhere: Reels, IG feed, email blast, even your homepage.
- Track engagement: views, shares, comments, and calls over the next 30 days.
