Why the Best Property Agents Are Acting Like Content Creators (Yes, Really)

Once upon a time, all a property agent needed was a blazer, a good handshake, and the ability to open a sliding door dramatically during a viewing.

Now? You need to be a content creator.
That means reels, storytelling, maybe even a drone shot if you’re feeling ambitious. Welcome to 2025, where your listings are competing with cat videos, slow-living TikToks, and someone turning a shoebox into a tiny house with a water feature.

So how do you get your rental listing noticed in the chaos of the scroll?

Let’s talk about it.

📸 Listings Are the New Ads. Make Them Clickable AF

Imagine this:

“Nice HDB flat for rent. 3 bedrooms. MRT nearby. Contact for more info.”

Now compare it to this:

“This airy 3-bedroom HDB in Tampines has golden hour lighting, a kopitiam downstairs, and enough space for your yoga mat, WFH setup, AND a cat tree. Just 5 minutes to MRT. P.S. The master bedroom feels like a hotel.”

Which one are you clicking?

In a property marketplace full of new rental listings, storytelling wins. You’re not just listing four walls. You’re selling the dream of sipping kopi in your boxers while watching Netflix with strong Wi-Fi.

🤳 Why Every Agent Is Also a Mini Influencer

Here’s the truth bomb.
Your listings don’t just live on platforms. They live in people’s feeds.
That’s why the best agents today are using:

• ✨ Instagram reels to show off units
  
  

• 📹 TikToks of hilarious (or horrifying) viewing moments
  
  

• 🎙️ Rently Stories to highlight real renters, weird features, and unique lifestyles
  
  

At Rently, we believe renting doesn’t have to be boring. We’re collecting chaotic roommate tales, creating escape-room-style property games, and building a platform that feels more human. Because people remember stories, not square footage.

💡 How to Make Your Listings Scroll-Stopping

1. Ditch the Dusty Descriptions
   Replace “convenient location” with “5-minute MRT dash in flip-flops.”
   
   

2. Lead with the Feeling, Not the Floor Plan
   What’s the vibe? Cozy? Minimalist? Good for hosting Friendsgiving?
   
   

3. Shoot Vertical Video
   You’re not filming a Marvel movie. You’re getting people excited quickly.
   
   

4. Name-Drop Local Gems
   “Just 3 minutes from the best prata in the East” beats “close to amenities.”
   
   

5. Add Personality
   If the unit has mood lighting or a weirdly large shower, say so.
