Renting shared data when you sell to real estate agents
How many competitors bought the same list you did? Here is how people who sell to real estate agents fix it.
How many competitors bought the same list you did?
Bought or rented contact lists are sold to many companies at once. The same prospects receive the same kind of email from everyone.
It hits harder when you sell 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.
You compete for attention with every other buyer of that list. Prospects grow tired of messages and replies drop.
Your own list, not a shared one.
Riftjaw does not sell data. You build your own list from sources you choose, such as directories, member lists and your own research. It stays private on your account's own server.
- Fields that fit real estate agents, such as branches
- Email prefixes that fit, like info@, sales@, lettings@ and office@
- Status, tags and a segment on every record
The fix, step by step
- Choose your sources. Pick public directories or lists that fit your niche.
- Collect the companies. Export the list or paste the page into the scrape tool.
- Import into your database. Keep the result private and build on it over time.
Other walls when prospecting real estate agents
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.
Negotiators change often, so named contacts go stale.
Role addresses stay valid, and notes keep the history even when people move on.
Fields worth recording for real estate agents
Add these as fields in your lead file. Any column in your import can become a field.
| Field | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Company name | The key field. Duplicates are checked on it or on the website. |
| Website | Needed to derive an email when the export has none. |
| Branches | Multi branch agencies buy centrally and in larger volumes. |
| Sales or lettings | Letting agents and sales agents have different needs. |
| Area covered | The towns they list in help you split by region. |
| Portal presence | Which portals they use hints at their marketing budget. |
| Branch manager | The decision maker for local purchases. |
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.
