FAQs




Methodology: How I Chose the Best Real Estate Marketing Companies

As a seasoned real estate pro, I’ve test-driven my fair share of software. I test platforms just like I would if I were considering them for my own business. I dig into the features, user experience, and how these companies stack up against the competition. So, when I share my opinions on a tool or platform, you can trust that it’s coming from firsthand experience and a deep understanding of what gets results in the real world of real estate.

And just to make sure I’m being fair and objective, I also use an unbiased rubric designed by our team of licensed real estate pros, research and data geeks, writers, and editors to evaluate each platform. Read more about the specific methodology The Close uses for reviewing companies.

The criteria for this list of real estate marketing companies I used are broken down and explained below.

Pricing

There are so many different types of real estate marketing services on this list, and they all do various things in the real estate marketing space. But, looking at the cost of a platform’s services compared to its overall value is essential. So, I’m compelled to include the price in my analysis. 

One note about pricing in context to this rubric and scoring. Luxury Presence has an extremely low score in the pricing category based solely on the actual price for its offerings. However, Luxury Presence serves an elite clientele a very specific brand of website design that stands out from the competition. And if Agent Image had made the top of the list, it would have had a similar score. These companies offer a high-end product with a sophisticated price to match. That does not equate to the value these companies provide their clients. It’s simply a reflection of overall cost against other marketing companies on this list.

Ease of Use/Customer Support

For this list, I combined the platform’s ease of use with customer support to develop an individual score that reflects a company’s overall user experience. I believe that even the most feature-packed software falls short if it’s a struggle to use or you can’t get help when needed. By weighing both factors together, we get a complete picture of what it’s like to work with each company and how well the tools can support your real estate marketing efforts in the long run.

Expert Evaluation

To determine an expert evaluation for these diverse real estate marketing tools, I considered several crucial factors: standout features, value for money, and ease of implementation. While some tools may have a higher price tag, many often provide a more comprehensive feature set or automation level that can save time and effort in the long run. The expertise evaluation provides a quick and easy way to gauge each tool’s strengths and possible benefits. Still, the right tool for your business will ultimately depend on your specific needs and budget.

Features

While I didn’t include the features scores in this article, I did consider the individual features of each real estate marketing software to determine how much value you get for the money spent. I looked at the software’s usefulness, number of advanced features versus price, and how much it helped agents with efficiency in their workflow. I didn’t include these scores because the rubric is static, while all the different marketing companies offer so many different features and benefits it’s hard to pit them against each other fairly. So, in the end, I only included the scores for pricing, ease of use and customer support, and expert score. 


Your Take

Real estate marketing is my jam, and I love utilizing many tools from this list. Real estate marketing companies continue to innovate, creating more robust platforms with bigger and better tools to help agents attract more leads, close more deals, and do their jobs more efficiently. Who’s not on board with that? 

How about you? What’s in your marketing tech stack? Every agent probably uses different tools in unique ways, so share what you’ve got going on in the comments!
