You only have three seconds to stop the scroll. That’s why realtors need compelling hooks—not bios. This blog breaks down why attention-grabbing openers matter, what makes them effective, and five proven hook styles to try. It’s all part of Arii’s Capture Curiosity method—because when your content leads with relevance, your audience leans in, clicks through, and converts.
Before they click, scroll, or bounce… you’ve got 3 seconds.
That’s it. That’s your window to make someone stop, pay attention, and think: “Wait, tell me more.”
If you waste that window, you lose the opportunity. And too many real estate agents waste it by starting with:
“Hi, I’m Corry, and I’ve been a realtor for XX years…”
It’s not wrong — it’s just forgettable.
People don’t stop scrolling for résumés. They stop for relevance.
Unless your name carries celebrity status, leading with your bio won’t get the job done. What works instead is speaking directly to the problem they’re trying to solve — in language they actually use.
Hooks aren’t about you. They’re about them.
A compelling hook often hits one or more of these:
Here’s the difference in action:
❌ Ineffective:
“Hi, I’m Alex, a realtor with 10 years of experience.”
✅ Effective:
“Tired of losing bidding wars? Here’s the strategy my clients use to win.”
One is a monologue. The other is a conversation starter.
To keep things fresh and punchy, rotate through these formats:
Each one opens a loop. Your job is to earn the click by promising a payoff.
In a saturated market, attention is your greatest currency.
The way you open a video, a blog, a webinar — it sets the tone for whether someone leans in or tunes out. This is about more than marketing. It’s about connection. Empathy. Momentum.
Inside the Capture Curiosity pillar of The Arii Method™, we teach agents how to show up in a way that makes their audience feel seen — not sold to. That starts with the hook.
