Platform & Format Strategy

Best platform: Facebook (real estate has one of the largest Facebook ad audiences, agents, buyers, renters, landlords are all highly targetable). LinkedIn for B2B brokerage tools. Google for high-intent queries..

Best ad format: Process Steps (showing property workflow simplified), Brand Story (why traditional real estate is broken). Channel order: Facebook (massive targetable agent/buyer audience). Google Search (specific proptech solution queries).

LinkedIn for B2B brokerage/institutional tools.. Budget at stage: Seed: $2k $6k/month. Growth: $8k $25k/month targeting specific agent or property owner segments..

The Core Creative Challenge

Real estate tech suffers from 'we've seen it all' ad fatigue, agents receive 10+ software pitches per week. Video must show a specific time-saving outcome in the first 5 seconds or it's scrolled past.

What Separates Winners From Wasted Spend

Time and money specificity. 'Saves agents 8 hours/week on admin' or 'landlords reduce vacancy by 23 days on average' beats 'the future of real estate'. Real estate professionals are numbers people, give them numbers.

The FluxNote Workflow for This Vertical

One video per agent/landlord pain point: listing presentation prep, tenant screening, maintenance requests, lease renewals, commission tracking. Each video = one campaign targeting the specific role with that specific problem.

The Mistake That Burns Budgets

Targeting 'real estate' as an interest on Facebook instead of targeting by job title (real estate agent, property manager) or life event (recently listed home, recently moved), the interest audience is 10× too broad and inflates CAC.
