Channels

Ad channels that bring listings and buyers

Sellers and buyers search in different ways and at very different click prices, so agents need both kinds of campaigns.

01

Seller search campaigns

Agent and home value searches sent to a valuation page with a short form.

02

Buyer search campaigns

Area, condo and school zone searches sent to matching IDX pages.

03

Agent lead listings

Pay-per-lead listings with a verified badge, once each agent's license clears.

04

Listing video tours

Walkthrough videos on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube for each new listing.

Costs

Seller clicks versus buyer clicks

Seller searches cost about ten times more than buyer searches, because a listing is worth more to an agent.

Ideas

Real estate advertising ideas for agents and teams

Portals win most buyer searches, and cash buyers bid up the urgent seller ones. These real estate advertising strategies help agents find the gaps, win listing appointments and build a pipeline of buyers who close months later.

How much do agents spend on advertising?Many agents set aside a share of last year's commission income. Start with seller searches, then add buyer campaigns. Management starts at $1,000/mo.Google Ads management
  1. 01

    Spend first on sellers

    A listing brings a commission and often a buyer for another home. Agent and home value searches cost $7 to $11 a click, and they deserve the larger share of the budget.

  2. 02

    Leave "sell my house fast" alone

    That search averages over $100 a click, because cash buyers want those homes. Unless you buy houses, those clicks rarely turn into listings.

  3. 03

    Offer a home value report

    People who search "what is my home worth" are weighing a sale. A report with recent nearby sales, sent by an agent, starts a real conversation.

  4. 04

    Win the cheap buyer clicks

    Condo and neighborhood searches often cost under $1. Pages for single buildings and small areas, with real images and a buyer's guide, give detail the portals lack.

  5. 05

    Give each property a video tour

    A short video tour on Instagram and YouTube proves to sellers how you market a home and builds trust. Meta treats housing ads as a special category, so target by area, not by person.

  6. 06

    Advertise open houses nearby

    A small radius campaign the week before an open house reaches a local audience of neighbors and buyers. Neighbors who visit often become future sellers or send referrals.

  7. 07

    Send closings back to Google

    Leads can take months to close. Import closed deals from your CRM into Google Ads, so bidding learns which searches bring clients who buy or sell.

Rules

License rules for agent ads in Florida and New York

State license law decides whose name an ad must carry, and Google checks licenses before agent listings run.

  1. 01

    Florida's brokerage name rule

    Every Florida ad must include the brokerage's licensed name. Online, it sits next to the contact details, and an agent's last name must match the license.

  2. 02

    New York's broker details

    New York ads must carry the broker's name and full address or phone. An ad that names an agent or team must also name the broker.

  3. 03

    Agent lead listings

    Google checks each agent's license and asks for professional liability insurance before verified agent listings run.

Pricing

Ad management pricing for agents

One monthly fee covers the work. Ad spend goes on the agent's or brokerage's own card.

Real answers

What agents ask about paid ads

Channels

How should real estate agents advertise?

Search ads for seller and home value searches, IDX pages for niche buyer searches and video for each listing. Follow up on every lead for months.
Words

What words are not allowed in real estate ads?

Words that describe the buyer you want rather than the home, like "perfect for young couples." Describe rooms, features and location instead.
Costs

Why do seller clicks cost more than buyer clicks?

A listing is worth more, and portals already dominate buyer searches. Agents compete hardest for the people ready to sell.
Cost

Do agents pay Rathly a commission?

No. We charge a flat fee from $1,000 a month, and each platform bills ad spend to you.Read the full answer →
