How real estate agents use AI tools for marketing

No matter what market or specialization they’re in, real estate agents know that marketing themselves and their services is vital to attracting a client base. This is one of the most significant areas where AI for real estate marketing can help. Whether AI is integrated in existing software and tools, or if you’re using your preferred generative AI tool, here are some of the ways that the technology is streamlining how agents advertise properties and attract potential buyers:

  • Lead generation. AI tools organize new, potential, and existing leads with the goal of transforming them into clients.
  • Tracking existing interactions. Use AI to analyze data related to potential clients, such as the last time you reached out, and see where this interaction left off.
  • Cold calling. Use AI to suggest scripts for reaching new prospects, as well as sending automated follow-up emails and texts.
  • Real estate descriptions. Generate compelling and detailed property descriptions in seconds, helping you avoid hours of writing.
  • Marketing trends. By identifying which properties and specific areas are trending, agents tailor their listings to meet market demands.
  • Calculating costs and fees. Balancing fee totals and double-checking financial transactions such as closing costs can save agents time and avoid potential trouble with missed payments down the line.

How AI compiles data for market insights

In order to determine the value and advantages of a specific listing, real estate agents lean on data pulled from different categories of neighborhood data—which includes school districts, crime rates, and nearby amenities, plus additional factors that provide a comprehensive picture of a property’s value.

AI tools assist in analyzing market data and predicting price trends, which helps agents give informed advice to their clients. Use this insight to optimize advertising campaigns, create listing strategies, and suggest short and enticing copy in tones ranging from formal to casual. If you’re looking to revamp your company marketing materials and branding, AI also helps with arranging flyer layout, designing logos, and other graphics needs.

AI tools for follow-up messaging and client retainment

No matter how sophisticated your preferred AI tools become, they still can’t replace the most fundamental aspect of the real estate industry: the human connection. Rather than replacing the relationship between client and agent, AI chatbots enhance the connection by responding quickly to client questions and finding personalized recommendations. Chatbots powered by artificial intelligence answer common questions, schedule viewings, and suggest additional properties that align perfectly with a client’s needs (such as number of bedrooms, affordability, and location).

Additionally, platforms integrating AI with customer relationship management (CRM) systems organize client information, send reminders, and even suggest follow-up actions based on the client’s stage in the home-buying process. All of these possible implementations work towards creating a more personalized and efficient experience.

Prompts to ask generative AI tools

Whether you’re looking for new leads or you have a slew of properties to advertise, generative AI tools help in every step of the process. Here are prompts to potentially make real estate agents’ lives easier:

  • Generate an engaging description for the following 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom modern home highlighting its features and nearby amenities.
  • Write 5 captions for social media posts advertising a luxury condo listing with skyline views.
  • How can AI help with designing an interior for this Victorian home in a historic neighborhood?
  • What are trending restaurants in this neighborhood?
  • Can you outline a 300-word email newsletter that introduces the benefits of this suburban town, listing amenities, demographics, and median income?
  • What’s an effective follow-up message for a client who attended a recent open house?
  • What are blog post ideas to attract first-time homebuyers?
  • What are the market trends for single-family homes in this city?

Real estate agents can further hone these prompts to achieve the insights they’re looking for, saving themselves time from conducting in-depth research. For those who are juggling multiple clients, finalizing deals, and organizing showings, AI tools that simplify day-to-day activities can be a welcome addition to your daily routine.
