Digital marketing for brokerages and agents

Real Estate Marketing Agency for Seller and Buyer Leads

Référenceur is a real estate marketing agency for independent brokerages, teams and agents. We help homeowners and buyers in your market find you on Google, Maps and AI search, trust your local expertise and contact you, with campaigns built to respect fair housing rules.

A real estate marketing agency built for listing searches

Portals capture much of the buyer traffic, but sellers still search “what is my home worth,” “best real estate agent in Scottsdale” or “sell my house fast in Tampa.” We position your brokerage on those high-intent searches and turn your local knowledge, from school districts to recent sales, into content that portals can’t copy.

Digital marketing for brokerages and agents: what makes the difference

Seller leads, not just page views

We build home valuation pages, neighborhood guides and listing presentations that capture seller inquiries, and we track calls and forms all the way to listing appointments.

Fair housing–compliant campaigns

The Fair Housing Act prohibits ads that indicate a preference or limitation based on protected characteristics, and Google doesn’t allow US housing ads to target by age, gender, parental or marital status, or ZIP code. We build every campaign within those limits.

Why brokerages need specialized marketing

Real estate is local down to the neighborhood and school district. Generic marketing can’t compete with large portals on broad terms; you win on hyper-local expertise.

We create community pages, market updates, relocation guides and agent profile pages that show experience and licensing, and we optimize each agent’s or office’s Google Business Profile.

Buyer conversations have changed too. Since August 17, 2024, under the practice changes that followed the NAR settlement, MLS participants working with buyers must have a written agreement with them before touring a home, and offers of compensation can no longer appear on the MLS. We help you explain your buyer services and value clearly on your website.

Be the agent AI recommends

Buyers and sellers ask ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews “which neighborhoods in Austin are good for families” or “how to choose a listing agent.” We publish authoritative local content and keep your brokerage and agent data consistent across Google, Zillow, Realtor.com and your website, so AI tools are more likely to cite your expertise.

Customers already ask ChatGPT and Google’s AI for a recommendation. Your business should be one of the answers.

Your questions, answered

It generates seller and buyer leads through local SEO, Google Ads, IDX websites, social media and AI search visibility, and tracks them to appointments and closings.

Not on broad terms, but you can win on neighborhood searches, home valuation searches, your brand name and your agents’ names, with content portals don’t provide.

The Fair Housing Act prohibits ads that indicate a preference or limitation based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status or national origin, and many states and cities add protected classes such as source of income. Google and Meta also restrict targeting for housing ads, and HUD’s equal housing opportunity logo or slogan is commonly used in ads.

Not for US housing ads on Google: its policy restricts targeting by ZIP code, age, gender and parental or marital status. We rely on broader location targeting, search intent and strong local content instead.

Yes, we work with your MLS and IDX provider to integrate listing search into a fast website, and add unique local content around it.

Only if they’re members of the National Association of REALTORS®. It’s a membership mark, so it should be written in capitals with the ® symbol and refer to membership, not used as a generic word for agent. Most state license laws also require the brokerage name to appear clearly in ads, so we build both into every template.

Both. We can build a brokerage-wide strategy or support individual agents and teams, within your brokerage’s brand and compliance guidelines.

There’s no one-size-fits-all price: the budget depends on your goals, your market, local competition and the channels that actually make sense for your business (website, SEO, Google Ads, AI visibility). After a free assessment, we send you a detailed, tailored proposal with no commitment. Any ad budget is paid directly to Google or Meta and stays under your control.

It depends on your market and your competition, and no result is guaranteed. Once your accounts are approved, Google Ads can bring in first inquiries within days. SEO and AI visibility take several months to build: we show you the progress every month, with concrete numbers.

It depends on what you need. A website is a one-off project with a clear start and finish. SEO, Google Ads and AI visibility work best over time, but the format and length of the engagement are decided together, based on your goals. In some cases, month-to-month support is possible. Everything is spelled out in writing in our proposal before any work begins.
