🏡 Introduction
With over 500 million users in India, WhatsApp is no longer just a chatting app — it’s one of the most powerful tools for real estate marketing in 2025. Agents and builders across India are using WhatsApp to build trust, share property info instantly, and convert leads into bookings.
Let’s explore how to use WhatsApp strategically to grow your real estate business.
📲 Why WhatsApp Works for Real Estate
- High Open Rate: WhatsApp messages have a 90–95% open rate — way better than email or SMS.
- Instant Engagement: Buyers can ask questions and get answers in real-time.
- Rich Media Sharing: Share photos, videos, brochures, Google Maps, payment links — all in one message.
💬 How to Set Up WhatsApp for Real Estate Marketing
1. Create a WhatsApp Business Account
- Use a business profile with logo, description, working hours, and website link.
- Add auto-replies for FAQs like pricing, availability, etc.
2. Create a Click-to-WhatsApp Ad (from Meta Ads)
- Run Facebook or Instagram ads with a CTA that opens WhatsApp chat.
- Pre-fill the message like: “Hi, I’m interested in the 2BHK in Pune.”
3. Use WhatsApp API or Tools like Interakt / WATI
- Send property alerts, follow-ups, payment reminders at scale.
- Automate lead qualification with chatbot questions (e.g., budget, location, move-in date).
🛠️ Use Cases of WhatsApp in Real Estate
