Tips For Creating Real Estate Marketing Brochures

By Karina Frost


In order to be successful, realtors must rely on a variety of different tools and efforts to spread the word about themselves and the homes on the market they are selling. Competition is usually high and agents often have to polish up their marketing efforts, or even try new things. These efforts include real estate marketing brochures.

A brochure is only as effective as the design. You do not want something overly flashy or smashed together with a bunch of text. It should be a blend of pictures, text, and graphics. To start, include a picture of yourself, such as one that would be used by your agency. You should also include pertinent information such as your phone numbers and email address so that clients have multiple methods to contact you. It is also a good idea to include the slogan for your agency. With this information, you are establishing a familiar aspect for your potential clients.

The printing of your brochures will be another factor that will greatly influence the success of your campaign. This includes two aspects. First, you should make sure that your brochure is printed on both sides. You should choose a few ideal properties, including good representative photos of the properties and crucial listing information.

In printing, your second aspect should be how you will get the brochure printed to be distributed. You can pay a company to design and print them, or you can do the designing on your own and use the company to print them for you. The latter option saves you some money since you do not have to pay for designing.

Your brochure should have a small section dedicated to providing potential clients with helpful tips to aid them in choosing a home, buying a home, or selling a home. The tips you provide should fit with the type of brochure you are creating. For example, if you are creating one that lists foreclosure properties, the tips should be related to the selecting or buying process for foreclosures.

Include a brief professional biography. Avoid putting in too much. The goal is to give yourself credibility, but putting in an extensive amount of details can make you come across though you are trying to inflate yourself. This is not professional. Limit your information to one or two special memberships or certifications.

The method of distribution also plays a role in an agent's success. In order for brochures to be effective, you will need a method that allows you to distribute widely. Your brochure can be sent through the mail with the use of a mailing list, handed out in person, or left at stores and businesses. Make sure the method you use is within the law.

Ultimately, it usually takes a compilation of multiple tools and methods for realtors to establish a name and remain high in the competitive market. An agent has the desire to be successful, of course, but he or she also has a duty to make the clients happy with their purchase or sale. Using brochures to help market their abilities and properties helps both the clients and the realtors.
