The Secret Behind a High Converting Real Estate Marketing Funnel
Without a proper real estate marketing funnel, it can be difficult for agents to generate leads, upkeep multiple properties, and manage prospective clients.
The purpose of a real estate marketing funnel is to help you capture the attention of a lead, develop their interest in your properties, nurture the lead, and motivate them to take action or retarget if they stop responding.
There are several steps to gradually convert the leads into your clients. Let’s look closer at the key ingredients to create a real estate marketing funnel.
Use Your Website to Capture Leads
The first step of a real estate marketing funnel is capturing the attention of your leads through your website or a landing page.
Home buyers consistently use websites as their primary source of information when searching for a home.
Create an Intuitive Website
Intuitive web design allows visitors to easily navigate through your website from one page to another. Your website design should easily generate leads, while also creating a pleasant experience for your prospective clients.
To ensure visitors stay on your site, introduce a pop-up CTA or landing page that encourages visitors to provide their basic contact information.
Customized themes for different landing pages and eye-pleasing graphics can attract many users. Another important thing is to create a responsive website that is compatible with multiple devices.
Create Separate Landing Pages for Each Agent
There’s a reason they’re called landing pages. These pages are designed to be the first stop where your users take a specific action before moving further in the conversion process.
Master Templates:
Start by creating a base template that includes: a compelling headline, agent bio section, local market expertise, contact form, testimonials, and a clear call-to-action. Once perfected, duplicate this template for each agent.
Agent-Specific Customization:
- Unique URLs: Use yoursite.com/agent/[agent-name] or [agent].yoursite.com for easy tracking
- Personalized branding: Agent headshot, bio highlighting local expertise, and personal contact information
- Localized content: Neighborhood specializations, recent sales in their area, local market knowledge
- Custom CTAs: “Schedule with [Agent Name]” instead of a generic “Contact Us”
Lead Routing:
Include hidden form fields (agent_id) to automatically assign leads to the correct agent in your CRM. This ensures that no lead falls through the cracks and enables accurate performance tracking per agent.
Choose the Right Platform for Multi-Agent Funnels
When creating separate landing pages for multiple agents, your platform choice significantly impacts efficiency and results. Here’s how the top options compare for real estate teams:
ClickFunnels: Best for teams wanting all-in-one functionality with built-in CRM integration. Allows unlimited funnels and easy template duplication.
Leadpages: Ideal for quick deployment with real estate-specific templates. Strong integration with major CRMs.

Generate Interest
There are a number of small changes that can have a massive impact on how many leads you attract and maintain.
Leverage the Power of Visuals
If a picture is worth a thousand words, professional pictures of your properties can speak volumes. For example, high quality images of your listings on your website show clients that you are professional and that you know what they are looking for.
Videos are also a great way to effectively and visually convey your message. Embedding videos of your listings on your landing pages is a simple way to capture your visitor’s attention.
Consider creating simple real estate explainers to increase your credibility. A captivating virtual slideshow highlighting the unique features of the property or a complete walkthrough video can increase visitor’s interest and further influence their purchase decision.
Drive Traffic to Your Website with Blogs and Articles
Writing blogs and articles on client-oriented topics can help you drive more traffic to your website. Let’s imagine that most of your clients are experienced buyers; you can regularly write articles for that niche and publish them on your own website or with external publications for more exposure.
Making your content SEO-friendly is vital in order to rank higher in search results. Perform thorough research on the top-ranking keywords and integrate them into your blogs and articles. Overall, SEO-friendly content means better readability, proper linking, and well-structured headings as well as paragraphs.
Lead Magnets
Lead generation content is commonly called a lead magnet. Lead magnets are a marketing technique where the user is offered freebies in exchange for contact details, usually their email address.
The freebies can include a subscription to your newsletter, new listing updates, guides and ebooks, whitepapers, quarterly reports, etc. If a lead shows their interest in your lead magnets, you have an opportunity to nurture them and convert them into a client.
With your AgentFire website, we offer hyperlocal area guides that are designed to make your prospective client an active client.
Nurture Your Leads
The next step in the marketing funnel is to “nurture” the leads. This is the process of building relationships with your leads, taking proper follow up, and guiding them through the buying process.
One of the most effective ways to nurture and engage your leads is to use email marketing. There are multiple types of emails for different meanings and purposes. Sending the right type of email at the right time will help you better nurture your leads. Choose accordingly from the list below.
The Welcome Email
After receiving the contact details (e-mail address) of a prospective lead, your first action should be to send a welcome email. This is the stepping stone for your future communication.
The goal of sending a welcome email is to introduce yourself and provide a short snippet of your offerings. The welcome email should contain information about you, the reason for contact, and the valuable services you offer.
The Content Email
The content email is where the real lead nurturing takes place. Here, you can offer multiple resources to engage prospective leads.
Make sure to provide engaging content that is sharable and truly valuable to your clients. Sharing industry-related updates, for example, can be a great way to engage your audience. Consider offering smart investment tips to first-time real estate investors to get the attention of those prospective clients.
To move leads through the funnel, make your emails increasingly specific, such as updates on new listings in the local area. Once they start engaging with your content, you can learn more and more about their interests.
To make content creation as simple and easy as possible, AgentFire clients have the option of selecting the Blog Assist Pro Add-On. With the Blog Assist Pro Add-On, blogs are written by experts and shared with the real estate agent each week to be published on their site. With our MailChimp Add-On, these blogs will be automatically formatted and shared with your selected client list. With just a couple tools, your funnel can quickly start to come together!
Send Testimonials through Snail Mail
Testimonials help you demonstrate your success in the market. How can you be the best option to make a deal with?
Instead of sending just a review of your services, ask clients to tell their story. A story can be remembered for a longer period of time compared to a piece of information.
Then add recently submitted testimonials to your emails and website. Our AgentFire web designers can integrate testimonials into any page of your website you’d like – even your Zillow reviews!
Track Performance across Agent Funnels
To optimize your multi-agent funnel system, implement tracking that measures each agent’s performance individually:
UTM Parameters:
Use utm_source=agent_name in all marketing campaigns to track which agent’s funnel generates the highest quality leads. For example: yoursite.com/agent/sarah?utm_source=sarah&utm_campaign=facebook_ads
Key Metrics to Monitor:
- Conversion rate by agent landing page
- Lead quality scores per agent
- Time-to-close by lead source
- Cost per lead for each agent’s marketing efforts
A/B Testing at the Agent Level:
Test different headlines, photos, and CTAs for each agent’s page. What works for one agent’s target demographic may not work for another’s local market.
CRM Integration:
Ensure your CRM can segment leads by the originating agent and automate follow-up sequences specific to each agent’s communication style and specialties.
Remarketing
Remarketing, also known as retargeting, is the process of reaching out to prospective leads that were unresponsive after visiting your website. These types of leads may have been interested in your service, but left the website without taking further action.
There are a few types of remarketing that we should look at:
- Dynamic remarketing: Visitors will see adverts for specific products or services that they looked at on your website.
- Remarketing for mobile apps: Display advertising to people who have downloaded your app or visited your mobile website.
- Remarketing lists for advertisements: Display ads to visitors as they conduct additional Google searches.
Retargeting Unresponsive Leads
The last step in the real estate marketing funnel would be to retarget these hot leads with particular retargeting strategies. Real estate agents will often advertise to the leads using paid ads on different platforms to bring them back to your website.
Social media platforms allow you to create customized audiences to display tailored ads for existing as well as new leads.
You may construct customized lists and execute tests such as custom combination testing and bid testing with Google Ads retargeting.
Optimize Retargeting Ads
To make effective display advertising, make sure the image and language are clear and the ad contains some type of rich media.
Creating unique display advertising for each specific audience segment raises the likelihood that you’ll entice visitors back to your page.
The following are the main components of a well-designed retargeting ad:
- A catchy headline: This should be relevant to your website’s visitors’ experience.
- Relevant, visually appealing media: Your display ad can incorporate an animation or a static image. The chosen media, however, should be relevant to the offer highlighted in the ad copy.
- A clickable CTA button: Should be created in a stand-out color and contain actionable copy. (For example, “Show Me the Ebook”)
- Tailored copy: Display ads aren’t designed for long paragraphs, and you only have a certain number of characters to describe the offer. More clicks are likely to be generated by ad copy that gets to the point fast and gives viewers a reason to click.
