The social platforms, formats, and post types generating mortgage leads in 2026 — and the ones that stopped working two years ago.
Social media in mortgage isn't optional in 2026, but the mix has shifted. Here's what's producing inquiries and what's just filling feeds.
Platform ranking
Instagram Reels + local hashtags: consistent inbound DMs. LinkedIn: highest-quality B2B and realtor connections. YouTube Shorts: rate/market explainers compound over time. Facebook: paid ads only, organic decayed. TikTok: still works for younger buyer segments.
Content templates that produce leads
Rate updates with hook + explanation. Buyer FAQs (one question per post). Local market snapshots. Before/after refi savings stories with client permission.
