Unlock Your Marketing Potential With These Game-Changing Tools
No one said real estate was easy
If there’s one word that best describes your day, it’s probably “busy.” Between taking calls, entertaining leads, showing properties, and handling paperwork, the time can really get away from you.
But what if you could get help on time-consuming tasks so you can wrest control of your day? Enter marketing tools — tech-enabled assistants if you will. Not only do they make your day easier, but they can also help you land more clients as well.
Buffer
Fun fact: about 57% of real estate agents use social media to promote their business. Of course, this isn’t a surprise given the broad reach and undeniable popularity of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok.
And if creating content for these platforms is hard, manually posting them one at a time is even harder. That’s where Buffer comes in, a handy tool that allows you to batch-schedule your posts across various social media sites, which can save you hours of work.
But that’s not all: Buffer’s proprietary algorithm can also tell you the best times to post and the kind of post that could get the most engagement.
If you’re a solo agent or own a small brokerage, Buffer’s free basic plan should suffice. Paid plans, however, allow you to add more users and cross-post to more channels.
Ahrefs
Just because you have a website doesn’t mean people will find it. Search engine optimization (SEO) can help your site dominate Google searches and land on the first page of search results, which can dramatically increase click-throughs.
Now, you don’t have to be an SEO expert to give your website a fighting chance on the World Wide Web. Ahrefs offers a full suite of tools that will set you on the right track in no time at all. From analyzing your competitors, to auditing your site, to automating keyword research, to generating content ideas, this platform can do it all. Needless to say, it also has a powerful analytics suite so you can track your SEO progress.
Not all good things in life come for free, but you’ll be glad to know that an Ahrefs subscription starts at just $99.
Attentive
While SMS marketing may indeed be old school, it’s nevertheless effective. In fact, research shows that 97% of text messages get read within 15 minutes of receipt. Talk about getting people’s attention!
Using a marketing tool like Attentive can supercharge your SMS marketing efforts thanks to its robust feature set. Not only does it allow you to reconnect with your contacts and nurture leads, but it also boasts helpful features like signup forms, message personalization, CRM integration, analytics, and more.

Animoto
Property videos are more than just a marketing flex — research shows that 73% of homeowners are more likely to list with an agent who uses video marketing.
Fortunately for you, marketing tools like Animoto make creating beautiful videos so much easier. The suite provides pre-made templates that you can tweak to your liking. Then all you have to do is drag and drop photos and videos to create your video. What’s more, it has a treasure trove of colors, fonts, transitions, and stock music that you can use to make your videos even more outstanding.
The basic plan is absolutely free, but the tiered paid plans allow you to upload your own logos, add voice-overs, and output 1080p HD videos.
ChatGPT
Unless you’re living under a rock, you’ve likely heard of ChatGPT, the powerful human-like chatbot that’s supposed to be the next big tech innovation. As we’ve discussed in this earlier blog post, that may very well be the case.
Indeed, ChatGPT can write a wide range of marketing copy surprisingly well, including social media posts and full-length blogs. It’s also an ace at helping you ideate your next post, email subject line, or article topic.
