How to Generate LEADS as a Real Estate Agent [5 TOP STRATEGIES]

Presenter: Karis (real estate content creator and coach)

Key Themes

Lead generation is the primary challenge for real estate agents.
Effective lead generation requires a personalized, multi-channel strategy.
Both proactive and reactive lead generation methods are necessary.
Consistent follow-up and conversion strategies are critical to turning leads into clients.

Frameworks and Concepts

Lead Generation Types

Proactive Lead Generation: Immediate actions to create conversations, such as cold calling, door knocking, and direct outreach on social media (e.g., Instagram geotags).
Reactive Lead Generation: Actions that yield results over time, like posting on social media or sending mailers to expired listings.

Value-First Approach

(Inspired by Gary Vaynerchuk’s Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook)

Give value repeatedly before asking for something in return.
Create valuable content tailored to your target audience (e.g., checklists for people moving to Florida, investor guides).

Multi-Channel Lead Generation Strategy

Use a mix of organic social media, paid ads, vendor partnerships, and traditional methods like open houses.
Align strategies with your personality and strengths to ensure daily consistency.

5 Lead Generation Strategies

Create and Distribute Valuable Content
- Develop targeted value pieces such as guides and checklists relevant to your ideal client.
- Share organically in Facebook groups, social media, and your database.
- Amplify reach via paid ads targeting specific interests or demographics.
Leverage Paid Advertising
- Platforms include Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Google Ads.
- Upcoming Facebook policy change: Removal of “special ads category” restrictions will allow more precise targeting (age, gender, etc.).
- Best practice: Use video ads featuring yourself to build trust and direct leads to content capture forms.
- Karis offers step-by-step tutorials for ad creation.
Use Social Media Video Content
- Social media is a powerful free platform for lead generation when used strategically.
- Avoid posting only transactional content (“Just listed”, “Sold”); focus on value and storytelling.
- Case Study: Karis’s business partner Chrissy used home tour videos on social media to become a luxury agent within her first year, attracting high-value clients ($1M–$5M homes).
Partner with Vendors and Local Businesses
- Build symbiotic relationships with non-traditional partners like divorce attorneys (who often have clients needing multiple transactions) and local businesses.
- Provide value to their clients and promote their businesses (e.g., social media shoutouts, co-hosted events).
- Use these partnerships as lead sources while maintaining reciprocal value exchange.
Maximize Open Houses
- Host open houses for your own or others’ listings.
- Use a strategic approach: pre-market via social media (organic and paid), engage in-person, and follow up afterward.
- Open houses can generate leads for both buyers and sellers when executed fully.
- Karis has a dedicated video on advanced open house strategies.

Key Metrics and Business Recommendations

Lead volume vs. conversion: Many leads are useless without a solid conversion and follow-up strategy.
Consistency: Choose lead generation strategies aligned with your personality and execute them daily.
Multi-source approach: Combine proactive and reactive methods for balanced lead flow.
Video content engagement: Drives trust and attracts high-value clients.
Paid ads targeting: Monitor Facebook’s policy changes to optimize audience targeting.
Vendor partnerships: Can multiply transaction volume per client (e.g., divorce attorneys may lead to 3 transactions from 1 client).

Actionable Recommendations

Identify your personality and strengths to select lead generation strategies you will consistently execute.
Create valuable content tailored to your niche audience before asking for contact information.
Invest time in learning video creation and paid advertising to expand reach.
Build genuine, value-based partnerships with vendors and local businesses.
Develop a detailed open house plan including pre-event marketing and post-event follow-up.
Focus on lead conversion and follow-up processes as much as lead generation itself.
