Website
Having a website is essential for any real estate agent.

A well-structured website with an attractive design can be the difference between capturing a customer or losing them to the competition.
SEO
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is a tool that optimizes the website so that it appears in the first results of search engines, such as Google. This is done through techniques that include using relevant keywords, creating quality content, and optimizing website loading speed. A good positioning on Google can significantly increase the broker's visibility and attract more customers.

Furthermore, email marketing allows you to segment your customer base, sending personalized messages according to each customer's profile.
Social Networks
Social networks are a direct communication channel with customers. They allow the broker to share information about properties, decorating tips, real estate market news and other content of interest. Furthermore, social networks are an excellent tool for interacting with customers, answering questions and receiving feedback.
Google Ads
Google Ads is an online advertising tool that allows you to create ads that appear in Google search results. With it, the broker can target their ads to a specific audience, increasing the chances of attracting potential customers. Additionally, Google Ads offers detailed reports that help you understand your ad performance and optimize your marketing strategy.
CRM
CRM (Customer Relationship Management) is a tool that helps manage relationships with customers. It allows you to organize customer information, track interaction history, schedule follow-up reminders and much more. A good CRM can be the key to increasing customer satisfaction and loyalty.
