Hi, i am looking to sell my popular Instagram account which now has over 190k followers and is growing at an average 1000 followers daily. Average likes per photo is 7k where those good ones can hit over 8k likes. It is a luxury niche Instagram page - Luxury homes. Potential business especially for those in the real estate industry. Does anyone of you you has any suggestions on where I can list it?


I am looking for a serious buyer only and that's why I'm not considering ebay.

You will struggle to find people to buy it outside the community of people that create buy/sell large pages. Let's be honest, if it had any value you could be selling leads to people that sell luxury houses. Not hating because I'm in the same boat. I have an 80k page.

I'd suggest making a blog linked to it, then perhaps selling it together in a package instagram + blog on flippa. Considered this for my page but not sure how well it will work.

Why sell it now? If someone offered you 5k would it be worth all the work?

My Advice: Keep growing it, take it to 500k followers there will be ways to monetize when the time is right. If you are making money from the followers then the account is way more valuable.

Yes currently I'm making some money by selling leads to other instagram pages that have the same niche as my page but not to Real estate agents or brokerage yet (very rare for them to contact me). I've spent time on contacting dozens of them but they can't seemed to be bothered. Good idea on listing it on flippa.

Lots of commitment to maintain the high quality of posts that we need to do daily. If someone were to offer me 5k, I will reject it as I totally agree with you that it is not worth it. I was offered at five digit figure recently and I'm still waiting for the person to get back to me.

Why don't you contact Niche Magazines such as Design Studios and see if they would like to purchase your account and/or use your account for marketing. License it to them... IDK just throwing ideas.

Maybe you could continue to grow the follower count and then have people in your niche pay your to promote their services in the account. Essentially getting ad revenue from people paying you per post or something. Plenty of people with 1 million+ followers do it. Just an idea.

why sell an asset?



There will be no one to replace me when I am away for 2 years serving the nation. Long term sustainability will not be achieved. Unless I hire social media management company to manage it but requires $$$$.

Yes I'm doing that already for few accounts but their contract with me is not long term.

Wow...
I'm a total newbie here. Just joined the forum today and I'm already getting business insights: build a FB/Twitter/Instagram page to having lots of followers and then get ad revenue from it.
Thanks guys...

The people that sit on Instagram and like pictures of luxurious cars/houses are typically the least likely to ever be in a position to purchase them. I'm sure there are exceptions, but the real go-getters are making it happen, while everyone else watches from the sidelines making up excuses.

I'm sure the page has value to some extent, but saying it would be of value for high end real estate is probably off base.

Just my 2 cents. Congrats on the sale.

Do you have a certain strategy when growing an instagram page? The only strategy I know is following and liking other pictures.

I'm also curious how much you sold the page for. Can you let me know also if you don't mind.


I apologize that i'm unable to disclose the exact figure. What I can share with you guys out there is that it is a 5 digit figure. I am also offering Instagram account management services to those looking into growing a page on this social media platform. Don't hesitate to dm me.


Thanks & wishing you a happy new year!

Hey Derekz !! I was actually trying to sell a few of my accounts, as well as potentially partner with you on the management end. I was wondering if you could link me with some buyers :) Dm sent
