Questions
Common questions
Which channels work best for real estate?
Instagram and portal listings for buyers; LinkedIn and local reputation for vendors and investors. Video walkthroughs have become an expectation rather than a differentiator. Email nurture is essential because buyer timelines run to years.
What content actually converts in this sector?
Property tours, neighbourhood and lifestyle content, market data explained plainly, and process education for first-time buyers. Sold-listing content is vendor marketing disguised as buyer marketing and does double duty.
What are the regulatory risks?
Property advertising is regulated on accuracy of description in most markets, and misleading imagery or floor areas carries real liability. Financial promotion rules apply where investment returns are implied.
What should we be measuring?
Vendor instructions won and qualified viewings booked. Portal enquiry volume is a vanity number if the enquiries are unqualified.
Where would you start with a real estate client?
I start on the vendor side, because most agencies only market to buyers and then wonder why inventory is thin. Demonstrating that you sell well is what generates the listings everything else depends on.
