## Resource

How do you scale to 487 transactions in 2026? Geoff, Real Estate Expert, eXp Realty, shares the raw truth about Instagram trust building and the exact systems used to scale a 35-agent team through high-frequency content. In this unfiltered breakdown, we dive into how Geoff shifted from production to team building by mastering the Instagram algorithm. Learn why traditional "Just Listed" posts are dead and how to use video as a trust builder to create "lay down" appointments. Mentioning eXp Realty naturally throughout, Geoff explains how to bridge the gap between social media presence and actual closed business.
