Calculate Your Specific ROIPlanning a Lead Generation Budget for Real Estate
These are not set prices. Work your budget out from the leads you need, using the indicative market ranges on this page as a starting point.
- 1
Start with the lead target. Decide how many qualified enquiries a month your team can realistically follow up and close.
- 2
Multiply by an indicative cost per lead. For real estate that is typically $45-130 per lead, which gives you a rough monthly ad spend.
- 3
Sense-check it against customer value. With indicative customer values of $5,000-25,000, work out how many new customers the spend has to win to pay for itself.
Ad spend goes to the platforms. Management is a separate, flat monthly fee, never a percentage of what you spend.
