Real Estate Agent Email Scraper — Instagram Realtor Leads

📊 Example output (real run)

Find real estate agents on Instagram by hashtag and pull the leads Apollo and ZoomInfo can't touch — handle, name, email from the bio, follower count, and engagement. Social-first prospecting for a channel the big B2B databases ignore.

Point this actor at hashtags realtors actually use — #realtor, #realestateagent, #luxuryrealestate, #[yourcity]realestate — and get back a clean list of active agents with the contact and social signals you need to reach them where they already spend their day.

Why Instagram beats a static B2B database here

Apollo, ZoomInfo, and UpLead are built on corporate email databases. Real estate agents are independent, social-first operators — many run their entire business from an Instagram bio, not a company directory. That's exactly the gap this fills:

	This actor	Apollo / ZoomInfo
Finds solo/indie agents	✅ via hashtag	❌ weak coverage
Bio email extraction	✅	❌
Engagement / follower signal	✅ prioritize active agents	❌
Freshness	Live Instagram profiles	Stale corporate DB
Cost	Pay per run	Per-seat subscription

Follower count and engagement_pct let you prioritize agents with real reach instead of dormant accounts — a signal a corporate database simply doesn't have.

What you get (real output fields)

• username, full_name, profile_url, profile_pic
• email — extracted from the bio when present
• external_url — the agent's linked website/landing page
• biography — full bio text
• followers, following, posts, engagement_pct
• is_business, business_category, verified
• found_via_hashtag — which hashtag surfaced the lead

Example row (real output)

{
  "username": "_perfectproperty",
  "full_name": "Perfect Property | Houston Realtors",
  "biography": "Top Producing team of agents serving Houston and its surrounding areas. 🔑🏡 eXp Realty",
  "external_url": "http://miaromarhomes.com/",
  "followers": 279,
  "following": 204,
  "posts": 1301,
  "is_business": true,
  "found_via_hashtag": "realestateagent",
  "profile_url": "https://www.instagram.com/_perfectproperty/"
}

When an agent lists an email in their bio it lands in the email field; when they don't, you still get the external_url (their site) and handle to reach them via DM or their contact page.

Use cases

• Brokerage recruiting — find producing, socially-active agents to recruit.

How to use it

1. Enter one or more hashtags (city + niche hashtags convert best) and how many profiles to pull.
2. Run the actor (schedule it to refresh your target hashtags weekly).
3. Export as CSV, JSON, or Excel, or pull via the Apify dataset API.
4. Load into your CRM, Clay, or outreach tool. Filter by followers / engagement_pct to work the highest-reach agents first.

Notes on data quality

• Data comes from live Instagram profiles, not a cached DB.
• Emails are only returned when the agent published one in their bio — no fabricated addresses.
• Missing fields (email, business_category) are returned as null rather than guessed.

Pair with our people-enrichment actor to append and verify a deliverable email for agents who only listed a website, and our realtor.com and SEC Form D actors to build a full lead engine.
