Using Instagram to sell a house in Seattle

Soundside

Log onto Instagram and you’ll see videos of celebrity interviews, food recipes and, lately, homes for sale.

These days realtors are leaning more on social media to show property listings. They take their audience on immersive tours and give details about a home’s price, features and neighborhood.

These posts get plenty of attention from casual viewers, but they do also attract potential buyers.

A real estate agent shares how she's using social media to sell homes around the city.

Guest:

• Candace Hagen, a real estate agent in Seattle.
