Selling their own specialist services to real estate agents

Real estate agencies are usually led by a branch manager or owner with a team of negotiators who are out on viewings much of the day. They spend on marketing, photography and software that helps them win listings, and they decide quickly when an offer clearly brings in more sellers.

Freelancers usually find work through their network, job platforms and word of mouth, which makes income uneven. A small lead database of your own gives you a steady list of companies to approach when the pipeline runs dry.

The real estate agents that need their own specialist services are listed publicly. What most freelancers lack is a list they own, with the right fields, that shows who was already contacted.

What freelancers run into with real estate agents

Outreach tools charge per credit or per seat, which is hard to justify on a freelance budget.

Riftjaw has no credits and a free plan to start, so you can build your first list without a card.

You forget who you emailed last month and risk writing to the same company twice.

Every contact has a status and a history of every mail, so you see at a glance who heard from you.

Sales and lettings teams in one agency use different addresses.

Tick sales@ and lettings@ in email from domain and record which team replied.

Branches of the same agency show up as separate listings.

Pick a key field such as the website so duplicates are flagged on import.

What to say to real estate agents

Pick one angle per campaign and write it once, with placeholders like {company|your team} for the details.

  • Show how your offer helps them win more instructions from sellers or landlords.
  • Reference their local area and current listings to show you know their market.
  • Offer something quick to try, because agents move fast and dislike long setups.

Questions people ask

Set the website or domain as the key field in your lead file. Riftjaw flags duplicates on import, so you decide whether to keep one record per agency or one per branch.

Yes. Add a field for sales or lettings and save a filter for each. Each one can be the audience of its own campaign.

If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, sales@, lettings@ and office@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.

Yes. The Free plan runs the whole pipeline on one list with small campaigns, and you do not need a credit card. Move to Pro when you want more lists, segments and bigger campaigns.
