I want to start a small real estate agency in my city.

I see many ads of Real Estate Gurus selling courses on how to find clients who want to sell their house or apartment.

These ads target real estate agencies like mine.
  • Do you know what techniques are these gurus selling?
  • Do you have any experience in this industry?

Thanks

Local classified sites, buy sell websites, FB marketplace, local FB groups. So many options. You can even make a landing page for your business and run google ads.

Getting initial 5-10 clients is difficult, after that you can get more simply through word of mouth.
 
start by walking down the street and putting handwritten letters on their mail, i gotta be honest this happen to me yesterday and we did take the letter, just to keep it as possibility
 
Starting a small real estate agency is exciting and yes, the internet is full of “gurus” promising secret methods to get sellers. Most of those ads are built around fear (“you won’t get listings unless you follow my system”) and oversimplified tactics.
 
The prospect of launching a little real estate agency is thrilling. The best course of action, in my opinion, is to forego expensive training in favor of cultivating connections and trust with locals. Although many so-called "gurus" promote methods centered on lead generation, cold phoning, and internet marketing, the best, most sustainable results are usually the product of actual effort and connections made through networking. The value of even a small number of practical transactions cannot be overstated.
 
In this field, consistent effort and building a strong reputation are crucial. Really get to know your local market. Don't overlook offline methods; genuine connections are powerful. Focus on offering solid value to potential sellers.
 
They typically sell direct mail/lead gen systems targeting distressed homeowners (probate, tax liens, code violations) and cold calling scripts; the real, sustainable method is building local authority through community networking, targeted Facebook ads in specific neighborhoods, and offering free, no-obligation valuation reports to generate seller leads.

Just distribute pamphlets in the area mentioning that you want to buy. You will have people queue up to you. Mention there that you do not want any brokers to contact you.

Build trust, know your local market, focus on real value, and consistent effort will bring long-term results .
 
Have you already started the agency, or are you still in the planning stage?

Most of those gurus are selling lead-gen systems, not secrets, mainly Facebook/Google ads, free home valuation offers, landing pages, and follow-up automation. I’ve worked with real estate agencies, and what works best long term is local visibility, Google Business, reviews, and consistent follow-up, not expensive courses.
 
Move beyond generic cold scripts. Build sustainable seller leads by establishing local trust: network in your community, run targeted neighborhood ads, and offer free, no-obligation home valuations.
 
You should reach local customers through classifieds, pamphlets, and flyers. Once you have a sell a few properties, you'll have enough reputation to reach more people through word of mouth and offline marketing.
 
Hello @bottingisfine,

Most of those gurus are essentially teaching the Home Value Calculator funnel using Facebook Ads. The strategy is to offer a generic automated valuation report in exchange for the homeowner's address and contact details. While it generates volume, I have found that you need a very aggressive follow up system to actually convert these leads because the intent is usually quite low.

reach out to the brokers in your area personally because there are brokers that have junior broker working for them or brokers who work on referrals.
 
Most of those courses are just packaging the same seller lead sources: expired listings, FSBOs, absentee owners, inherited properties and similar lists. Then they use calls, direct mail, ads and follow-up to turn those leads into appointments. The lead source itself usually isn’t the secret.

all they do is market their facebook home value funnel, which is nothing but a simple concept nd they have the records of probate/expired listings of the county. Wasted money.

Most of these real estate gurus are selling lead generation systems, things like facebook ads, cold outreach, networking strategies, follow up scripts, and ways to find motivated sellers. The real challenge is not just getting leads, it's building trust and converting them into clients.
