🏡 Introduction
In a competitive market like India, many real estate agents struggle to get consistent leads. The problem? It’s often not the budget—it’s the marketing strategy.
Whether you’re spending on Facebook ads, property portals, or hoardings, making the wrong marketing moves can cost you clients, money, and time.
In this blog, we’ll cover the 5 biggest marketing mistakes real estate agents make—and how to avoid them.
❌ Mistake #1: Relying Only on Property Portals
Many agents depend entirely on platforms like 99acres, MagicBricks, or Housing.com.
🧨 The problem: You’re just one listing among thousands.
💡 The fix: Start running your own lead generation ads through Facebook and Google. You’ll get direct leads without heavy competition.
❌ Mistake #2: No Follow-Up System
Agents often lose 60–70% of leads because they don’t respond fast enough.
🧨 The problem: Leads get cold in minutes.
đź’ˇ The fix: Use WhatsApp automation or CRM tools to auto-respond within 2 minutes.
❌ Mistake #3: Wrong Targeting in Ads
Running ads to “All India” or “Age 18+” wastes money.
🧨 The problem: Your ad shows to the wrong people.
đź’ˇ The fix: Target local areas like “Mumbai – 5 km radius” and age groups 28–50 who can afford your properties.
❌ Mistake #4: Poor Ad Creative
Using blurry images or no videos kills ad performance.
🧨 The problem: People scroll past bad visuals.
đź’ˇ The fix: Use high-quality photos, drone shots, or simple walkthrough videos. Tools like Canva or InVideo make this easy.
❌ Mistake #5: No Online Presence or Branding
Many agents don’t have a website or even a basic Google presence.
🧨 The problem: You don’t look trustworthy.
đź’ˇ The fix: Create a simple website or landing page. Set up a Google Business Profile to show up when people search.
