Marketing for Real Estate

Real estate marketing that builds an audience before it asks for the listing.

Every agent posts listings. Very few build an audience — which is why most real estate marketing only works the week a property is live. An audience that knows you, trusts you, and watches you consistently produces buyers, sellers, and referrals year-round.

Running with Strategy builds that audience across platforms at once. Documented in the case studies: one broker, three platforms, 90 days — over 2.2 million combined views.

What do the numbers look like for one broker?

One real estate broker, one coordinated strategy, three platforms running simultaneously:

  • Facebook: 1.3 million views, ~500 followers gained
  • Instagram: 251K views, +172 followers
  • TikTok: ~693K views and growing momentum
  • Beyond the numbers: stronger authority and positioning in their market

Why does one strategy across platforms beat posting everywhere?

Posting the same listing to five apps is distribution; a content identity is marketing. The studio defines the lane first — who you serve, what you stand for in your market, what your audience learns to expect — then adapts that identity per platform. That is why the broker's growth happened on all three channels at once.

The philosophy underneath it is on the founders page: the agent is the brand, and the marketing has to sound like them. Agents building their own name specifically should read personal branding for realtors.

What does a real estate engagement include?

Full scope on the services page; the shape for most agents and brokers:

  • Market positioning and content pillars built around your niche and personality
  • Monthly content calendar — listings woven into a bigger story, never the whole story
  • Short-form video strategy across Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok
  • Monthly performance review with real numbers per platform

Questions

What marketing works best for real estate agents?

Multi-platform social content in the agent's real voice, run on one consistent strategy. Running with Strategy took a real estate broker to 1.3 million Facebook views, 251K Instagram views, and roughly 693K TikTok views in 90 days — simultaneously — with one content identity adapted across all three platforms.

Should realtors be on TikTok?

For most markets, yes — it is the fastest organic-reach platform available to agents right now. The same broker campaign generated ~693K TikTok views alongside Facebook and Instagram growth, all from one coordinated strategy.

How much does real estate social media management cost?

Running with Strategy's social media partnerships start at $2,200/month including strategy, content calendar, production, publishing across platforms, and monthly performance reporting. Start smaller: the Brand Clarity Session is $750, credited in full toward the $9,000 90-Day Brand Build.
