Nearly half (46%) say that their best quality leads are generated by social media compared to MLS (30%) or relationship management (26%). Yet, only 24% of Realtors spend more than $50 per month on lead generation.
But 96% of homebuyers look online for listings and 80% contact just one agent before they hire them. You should definitely increase your budget.
You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on advertising. It’s not necessary to spend thousands on ads. You can use the formulas for Facebook real estate ads that are proven.

13 great real estate Facebook ad examples
1. Show a floor plan
When I was looking for a house, I had a few specific, deal-breaker layout requirements. I would scroll to the end of a listing’s photos to check the floor plan first, then go back and see the other photos.
Am I weird? Probably. Are there other weirdos like me out there? Definitely.
Floor plan ads aren’t just for new construction projects. Try a Facebook ad about your latest listing’s floor plan, especially if it’s unusual or interesting.

Why it works
Effective ad for presales of new construction. Captures the attention of buyers immediately.
2. Bring to light a problem
Try to be super specific about a particular type of buyer or vendor instead of just talking about the property. Find out their biggest challenge in buying or selling, and then tailor your offer to that.
The company created a service that is all-inclusive for seniors who are experiencing physical and emotional stress due to downsizing.

Why it works
The most successful ads you run are not necessarily the ones with the largest audience. The most successful ads aren’t the ones that reach more people.
3. Push your latest listing
This Facebook ad really is what you thought it was. There’s nothing top-secret about this strategy: Just advertise your latest listing.
Consider this: Not all commercials air during That Big Annual Game. It’s okay if not every campaign is a possible Oscar nominee.
Choose a carousel or single-image ad. Facebook has created a real estate Facebook advertising format. These Facebook ads are “bread and butter” for real estate social media marketing.

Why it works
Buyers are interested in listings. Particularly millennials who spend 14 hours per week on social media looking at home listings.
Bonus: Would you like to save a lot of time by advertising your open houses and new listings on Facebook? Hootsuite allows you to create Facebook ads in just minutes from existing Facebook Page content.

4. Recent Sales Listings
This is the equivalent Facebook ad for seller’s agents. Choose a recently sold listing or a few from the same ZIP code and briefly mention a factor that you overcame to sell it.
Source: Rick Moore Realtor, Facebook
Why it works
Shows off your abilities, not just telling. Opportunity to showcase your problem-solving skills when dealing with difficult listings.
5. You can brag a little about your awards
Have you achieved the top 1% in sales this year or any other award? You may have won an award from your community or city.
You can use it to show people how good you are. Don’t over-bragging and you may turn people off. You can use your own judgment to determine where the line is.
The addition of the word “2012” makes this ad even more effective because the viewers immediately understand the positive connotation that comes with winning the award for 10 years. They form a subconscious judgement of “They must be great.”
Source: Leeds Real Estate on Facebook
Why it works
It inspires trust. Develops your reputation, particularly if the award is specific to one type of property, customer, or location.
6. Brag (a bit)
Your last listing sold in less than 24 hours? Did you sell your last listing for $100,000 more than the asking price? You can meet the client’s deadline? What other unusual or extreme achievement has been made?
It’s great to have client testimonials, but you can also be effective by pointing out the real results that you’ve achieved.

Why it works
It is the best way to demonstrate your abilities. The expression “the proof is in your pudding” is a good one.
7. Video tour promotion
Social media is dominated by video, and formats that are primarily video like Reels have seen a 50% increase in popularity year-over-year.
Facebook understands that video ads attract a lot of attention. They are constantly adding new features to improve the conversion rate of video ads. Why? Facebook makes more money if you buy more ads.
Recent changes to video ads are particularly powerful: The automatic playback of videos in the feed and the new objective for viewing video. Facebook claims that these changes have increased video ad reach and reduced costs.

Why it works
Videos are the most popular Facebook algorithm.
8. Free home valuation
Both first-time sellers and experienced ones know that the market is constantly changing. You may find that those who are considering moving will accept your offer of an appraisal.
At the end of this post, you will find out how to super-target your ads, including those who might want to move quickly.
Source: Tasha Carnes-Perez on Facebook
Why it works
Leads that fill out the form are usually highly qualified.
9. Post a Reel of your most recent listing
Video tours can be effective advertising, but they don’t have to be perfectly designed. Record yourself talking about the features you like in a house. Show off one area of the home, such as the lush backyard oasis during a hot summer’s day.
It may be uncomfortable at first, but if you want to build your brand and attract more customers, it is essential that you appear casually.
Source: Home Sale Hardy Facebook
Why it works
It is still true that people buy from people who they like, trust, and know. A candid video allows people to see your personality.
10. Create a neighborhood guide
Create a page or blog about the area you are specialized in.
Include information that buyers will find interesting. For example, the average age of residents, nearby restaurants and attractions, or how accessible it is.
Source: Kathy Zajac Real Estate on Facebook
Why it works
Attracts people who are already interested in the area. Very effective when combined with advanced targeting.
11. Promote listings within a particular neighborhood
Facebook’s latest properties ad format allows you to feature multiple listings in one ad. You can advertise a collection of luxury or affordable homes aimed at specific buyer leads, or showcase several properties in the same area.
It’s easy to target Facebook real estate ads by location, without creating a neighborhood guide.
Source: Sheri dettman and Associates on Facebook
Why it works
It is highly effective when combined Facebook location targeting. A buyer has a higher chance of liking at least one listing and clicking through to view it.
12. Share a testimonial
Most people will make the biggest transaction of their lives when they buy or sell a house. This is probably why 36% ask their friends and families for recommendations on realtors.
Your Facebook ad won’t be the same as Aunt Marg telling Mike to call her at the dinner table. It’s not enough to see that someone was satisfied with your work. You need to show strangers you are trustworthy.
These ads are also easy to create: Simply collect client testimonials into a document. Create a Facebook advertisement template. Replace the copy with your own, save the image and upload the ad.
Source: Caleb Wilkerson’s Facebook page
Why it works
Review and testimonials can be powerful for any business, but are especially important for “big-ticket” services such as real estate.
Hootsuite Canva integration makes it even easier to create testimonial ads. You can customize your template and then insert it directly into your post, without leaving Hootsuite Composer.
You can also choose your template based on the size of the image, which includes Facebook ads.

13. Focus on Lifestyle
After a few weeks, buyers may forget the generic details. Try creating Facebook ads that focus on the lifestyle surrounding the house, rather than the actual home.
Are there 4 coffee shops within walking distance? There are 4 coffee shops in walking distance. The best tacos in the world are only 5 minutes away? People care about these things.

Best practices for Facebook advertising in real estate
Optimize for mobile
Mobile-friendly ads are important for all devices. 76% of buyers search for agents and listings using a mobile device, such as a phone or tablet. Millennials are twice as likely to do this as older generations.
First, make sure you are using the correct Facebook image size. Consider mobile behavior.
85% of mobile video viewers turn off the sound. You can create videos that do not rely on audio to convey your message.
Run A/B tests
Social media trends change just as much as sales strategies or home staging. Do not be afraid to experiment with different Facebook ads, images, and videos to see what works for you.
A/B testing your Facebook ads is the easiest way to test something new. Create an ad as you would normally, and then create a second version with one change.
Why only one thing? If you make too many changes at once and your new ad converts better than the old one, it’s great…but you won’t understand why.
Try changing these things for an A/B Test. Test only one thing at a given time.

Tracking results
How can you plan your future if you do not know where you have been? True and cliche.
It is important to track your progress over time to determine what brings the best results. Visualizing your progress is also very motivating.

Try advanced targeting
Facebook’s ad-targeting can save you tons of money if you want to be nerdy. You’ll reach fewer people by targeting your ads. However, you will only pay to reach those you want.
Warning: If you’re a newbie to social media marketing, targeting Facebook ads can be tricky. If you are a novice, I recommend using Facebook’s automatic targeting options or letting Hootsuite automatically boost your Facebook posts.
Facebook real estate ad targeting includes:
Age rangeGenderIncomeLocation (country, state, or city)Behavior targets, such as people interested in or who follow real estate related Facebook Pages, such as Realtor.com, MLS, or many other options
