Below, we’ll provide a brief overview of every real estate marketing material from the list so you can elevate its efficiency for your real estate business.

  • Property Presentations

Property presentations can be comprehensive documents or multimedia presentations. Must-have marketing material for brokers, because they are used for showcasing the unique features, benefits, and value proposition of properties.

  • Custom Email Templates with Prepopulated Content

Prepopulated content saves time by automatically including relevant information such as property details, contact information, and personalized greetings. It enables brokers to respond quickly to inquiries, nurture leads, and provide valuable updates to clients.

 

 

  •  Property Flyers with Availabilities

Property flyers, with normal size 1-2 pages, provide concise yet comprehensive information about the property, including key features, location, and leasing options. The visually appealing design of flyers captures attention and leaves a lasting impression on prospects, increasing the likelihood of inquiries and viewings.

  • Property Brochures

Compared to property flyers, property brochures are bigger, but they also serve as valuable reference materials for clients during property tours and negotiations, facilitating informed decision-making.

  • Listing Activity Reports

These reports provide valuable data on the performance of property listings, brokers and clients interactions regarding specific listings. Brokers can also present listing activity reports to property owners to keep them up to date.

  • Commercial Real Estate Offering Memorandums (OMs)

OMs provide detailed information about commercial property to potential investors. They serve as key marketing tools to secure financing and drive successful transactions in the CRE market.

  • Lease/Sales Comp Reports

These reports provide comparative data on recent lease or sale transactions of similar properties in a specific market. Must-have documents in portfolio for brokers, investors, and appraisers that need to assess market conditions, benchmark property values, and negotiate favorable terms.

  • Critical Dates Reports

Brokers use these reports to track and manage important deadlines and obligations related to leases, contracts, and agreements. Critical dates reports ensure compliance with contractual obligations.

The reports for real estate brokers can be easily generated, managed, and automated by AI, for instance, with the Ascendix intelligent document processing framework, which can extract the data from the document, generate summaries, and enter the data automatically into the existing system.

  • Online Listings and Portals

Online listings and property portals serve as centralized marketplaces where individuals and businesses can access comprehensive information about available properties and investment opportunities.

Brokers can create and manage online property listings and portals using MarketSpace by Ascendix. It enables brokers to upload property listings, complete with detailed descriptions, high-quality photos, videos, and virtual tours.

  • Websites & Landing Pages

Property websites and landing pages serve as digital storefronts, showcasing properties to potential clients 24/7. Property landing pages tailored to specific properties or campaigns enhance conversion rates, whereas professional websites establish credibility, build brand awareness, and attract leads.

  • Newsletters with Local Commercial Real Estate Market Updates

These newsletters aim to provide timely and relevant insights into the local commercial real estate market, including trends, developments, and property updates specific to a particular geographic area or market segment.

Brokers can utilize AscendixRE + Mailchimp Integration to streamline the process of creating and sending these newsletters.
