How to Rise Above the Competition: 8 Critical Real Estate Strategies

Standing out in real estate requires innovation, expertise, and a well-crafted digital presence. This webinar, led by Malte Kramer, founder and CEO of Luxury Presence, and Bally Khehra, product marketing expert, explores eight unique and underutilized strategies that address how to stand out as a real estate agent.

1. Add a marketing process page to your website

Most agents offer information for sellers on their website, but few go deep into their marketing process. By creating a dedicated marketing process page, you provide potential clients with full transparency into your listing methods, setting yourself apart.

This page should outline:

  • Your approach to marketing properties
  • The specific tools and strategies you use (e.g., professional photography, targeted ad campaigns, open houses)
  • A step-by-step breakdown and timeline of a typical home sale

By offering this level of insight, you build trust with clients and demonstrate your expertise in marketing homes effectively.

2. Create dedicated property websites

A single-property website gives each listing the attention it deserves, making it easier to showcase its unique qualities. When considering how to stand out as a real estate agent, these specialized websites can make a significant difference. Here’s what to include:

Remember, these additional elements keep visitors engaged and exploring longer — helping boost time on site and support SEO performance. And beyond attracting buyers, property websites also impress sellers by demonstrating your commitment to giving their home maximum exposure.

3. Implement high-quality video marketing

Video content is one of the most engaging forms of marketing in real estate. Agents who invest in professional videos for their listings, personal branding, and market updates create deeper connections with their audience.

Effective real estate video strategies include:

  • Property walkthroughs with storytelling elements
  • Market update videos establishing your local expertise
  • Behind-the-scenes content showing how you work with clients

Agents who master video marketing position themselves as thought leaders and attract more clients.

4. Leverage social proof and success stories

Client testimonials build trust and credibility. Instead of just collecting written reviews, take it a step further by:

  • Creating case studies that showcase how you helped a client
  • Filming short video testimonials with satisfied clients
  • Sharing before-and-after marketing successes on social media

Real-life success stories make your expertise tangible and relatable, helping future clients feel confident choosing you.

5. Personalize your brand and messaging

Many agents rely on generic marketing assets, making it hard for them to stand out. Personal branding is key to differentiation and a crucial element when exploring how to stand out as a real estate agent.

  • Adding high-quality images and videos
  • Encouraging satisfied clients to leave Google reviews
  • Posting updates and market insights

7. Utilize AI and automation tools

Top agents are using artificial intelligence and automation to improve efficiency and marketing effectiveness. Some powerful applications include:
