Real Estate · Ireland

Realty

Example business: an agency with 14 sales agents in Galway, selling and leasing homes across the wider Galway area. Most seller leads came from Daft.ie and MyHome.ie and referrals, so the agency was competing with every other agent for the same vendors. The goal was to win more vendor appraisals directly, cut dependence on portal lead products and turn more appraisals into signed listings.

The challenge

Where a business like this gets stuck

  • Portal leads are shared with every agency in the area, and portal fees keep rising.
  • Seller and landlord leads are worth far more than buyer enquiries, but most marketing attracts buyers.
  • Agents spend hours on enquiries that were never going to list, buy or rent.
  • Peak season (new instructions peak in spring and early autumn) was not being planned for, so budget ran out when demand was highest.

The approach

Three services, one goal

This example focuses on Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram), SEO and CRM Follow-up & Remarketing, three channels that can suit real estate agencies in Galway. Every call, form and chat is tracked to a booked outcome from week one, so decisions are based on revenue, not clicks.
