Real estate marketing agencies · Real estate and construction

Be the agency a developer calls when the next launch is only a quarter away.

A marketing head at a mid-sized builder in Chennai has a launch of a hundred and twenty apartments coming and a sales team that complains about lead quality.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

In one paragraph

Real estate marketing agencies plan and run launches, lead generation, channel partner events and creative for developers. Their own sales depend on a promoter or marketing head trusting them with a project budget. GullySales builds case-led pages, a developer outreach list and a follow-up routine for each proposal.

A call to two peers at other developers produces the names of agencies worth meeting, and each one is then looked up. The agency that shows launches by project type, how leads were handled after the form and what the sales team said gets the first meeting.

A developer judges a pitch against the last agency's mistakes. Describing the work in the developer's terms (site visits, bookings, the cost per booking) makes an agency easier to compare than one that talks of impressions.

How buyers decide

How real estate marketing agencies are chosen.

A developer's marketing head or promoter shortlists agencies by recommendation from other developers, by a launch they remember seeing, and by a quick check of the agency's own website and the projects it names. They look for experience in the same segment: affordable, mid-market, luxury, plotted or commercial.

They then ask hard questions: who will run our account, what happens when the leads are poor, how do you work with our sales team and channel partners. A marketing head who once received a report of leads and no site visits listens for the handover to sales. An agency that explains it step by step has answered the hardest question.

Promoters decide on trust and budget, so the first meeting may include the promoter and a relative or adviser. Fee models vary between retainer, per-launch and per-lead, so state yours and let the client choose.

The problem

What usually goes wrong for real estate marketing agencies.

What owners tell us on the first call, in their words.

  • “Developers hire on a recommendation and we are not recommended”

    The shortlist is made over a phone call between two marketing heads. By the time an RFP is sent, we are not in the room.

  • “Our case work is under non-disclosure”

    We cannot name projects, so our website says little and every pitch starts from scratch.

  • “Clients judge us on lead quality that depends on their sales team”

    We deliver enquiries, the sales team replies late, and the developer says the agency failed.

  • “We pitch and then lose the proposal in silence”

    After the presentation the proposal sits with the promoter's office and we have no routine to follow up.

  • “We compete on price with freelancers and boutique studios”

    Developers compare retainers line by line and miss the planning and sales handover that make results possible.

  • “One large client is most of our revenue”

    A single developer can cut a budget after a launch. We have no steady stream of new developers.

What we do

What we do for real estate marketing agencies.

Everything included for real estate marketing agencies.

  1. Case pages by project type

    Pages for each segment you serve, such as affordable apartments or plotted layouts, describing the brief, the approach and the sales handover, without client names if you are bound by confidentiality.

  2. A page on how leads move to the sales team

    A clear description of what happens to an enquiry after the form: who qualifies it, who calls and how site visits are confirmed.

  3. A developer prospect list

    A list of developers in your regions by size, segment and upcoming launches, with the person who decides on marketing.

  4. A pitch deck and proposal template

    A structured deck and proposal covering plan, budget, fee model and sales handover, written in the developer's language.

  5. A proposal follow-up routine

    Who calls the promoter's office, the marketing head and the finance team after a proposal goes out, and what each call asks.

  6. A client referral and reference routine

    A way to ask satisfied developers for introductions to peers, within what they allow.

How the result is measured

  • Developer conversations started
  • Proposals sent and proposals won
  • Time from first meeting to proposal
  • Share of new clients from referral
  • Revenue concentration in the largest client
  • Lost proposals revisited

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Priority campaigns

Campaigns for what real estate marketing agencies most want to sell.

Each one planned around when your buyers decide, and measured against the baseline.

  • Developer outreach on LinkedIn

    A short sequence to marketing heads and promoters at developers with launches planned, sharing a relevant example and offering a short conversation.

  • Launch-readiness content

    Articles and short guides on pre-launch planning, channel partner briefings and sales team handover.

  • Event presence at trade bodies

    Preparation for developer association meets and real estate expos, with a follow-up for every contact.

  • Re-engagement of lost proposals

    A courteous note to developers whose proposals did not proceed, tied to a launch they have announced.

Beyond search

Where we reach buyers of real estate marketing agencies, beyond Google.

Search matters, but it is rarely the only way this industry's buyers find a supplier.

  • Marketing heads and promoters at developers

    A list by city, project type and size, with a note of who is planning a launch.

  • Channel partner networks and broker associations

    Channel partners attend launches run by several agencies and see how each event is handled. Be visible and useful at their meets.

  • Architects, sales consultants and project management firms

    They advise developers and can name agencies they have worked with.

  • Banks and housing finance partners

    A home loan desk set up at a launch sees the sales gallery from the buyer's side. Ask what they noticed, and check what your own rules allow before offering anything in return.

  • Real estate media and industry bodies

    Developers read trade publications and attend association talks. An article on launch planning or sales handover puts your thinking in front of them before any pitch.

Who it is for

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
  • You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.

How it works

How the work runs for real estate marketing agencies

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Review your wins, losses and client mix

    Which developers you won, which pitches you lost, how you are paid and where the pipeline is thin, set side by side.

  2. 2

    Choose the segments to lead with

    The project types and cities where your results are strongest become the base for the message.

  3. 3

    Build the case pages, deck and prospect list

    Pages and a deck, with every claim approved by you, and a list of developers to approach.

  4. 4

    Run the outreach and the proposal follow-up

    The message sequence, an owner for each contact and a reply routine are written down for your team.

  5. 5

    Review pitches by source

    Each proposal is traced to where it began, so routes that bring developers who sign can be told from those that do not.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

GullySales builds every engagement from three pieces of sales work. This page is not one of them, but the same three steps apply to the business behind it.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions real estate marketing agencies ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

We cannot name our clients. Can we still show results?
Describe the segment, the brief and what you did, and add a figure only if the client allows it. Do not imply a client you cannot name.
Does this work for a small agency with a few clients?
Yes. A small agency with a clear segment and a visible sales handover is easier to recommend than a larger one with a vague pitch.
Should we sell on leads or on site visits?
Sell on what you can control and what the developer values. An agency can report site visits and bookings, explain the lead step, and say clearly where the sales team's part begins.
How do we follow up a proposal without nagging?
Offer something useful each time, such as a launch timeline, a competitor launch in the area or an answer to an objection. Agree the next step at the end of every call.
Can you write case studies we are not allowed to publish?
We can write them in an anonymous form for private use in pitches, with the client's approval where needed.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
To start, last month's enquiries in any format and time with whoever handles them. After that, access to the accounts the work touches, such as the website, Google Business Profile or CRM.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
