How do I get seller leads from Facebook ads without an agency?
Run a home value offer under Meta's housing category and send each request straight to your own CRM. Connect your ad account to Run My Ads, tell Ados your market and the kinds of homes you list, and it drafts a home value ad and a short form for you to approve. It then runs the ad, reports booked listing appointments, and pauses versions that bring form fills but no appointments.
How much should a real estate agent spend on Facebook ads to start?
Work it out from what one closed deal pays you and how many new conversations you can follow up on each week, not from a number someone else quotes. Pick one offer, such as a home value review or one listing, in the area you really work, set a daily budget you can hold for a few weeks so the campaign can learn, and judge it on booked appointments with buyers and sellers rather than clicks or form fills. Raise spend only on the offer that books. Ad spend is paid to Meta or Google from your own ad account.
What Run My Ads itself costs: Autopilot is $49 every 30 days; Done For You is $997 every 30 days plus a one-time $297 setup. Ad spend is on top and is not a Run My Ads fee. Big Spender: a custom plan for big budgets, priced on a call. Book one at runmyads.com/intro. See pricing
What is Meta's special ad category for housing and how does it change real estate ads?
It is a setting Meta requires on ads for selling or renting homes in the US, and it narrows who you can choose to reach so housing ads cannot shut anyone out. Under it you cannot target by age, gender or ZIP code, the smallest area you can pick is a wider radius around a city or address, many detailed interests are removed, and lookalike audiences built on demographics are not offered. Ados turns the category on for every real estate campaign and lets the listing, the offer and the creative find the right people instead.
Can AI write and run my real estate listing ads?
Yes. Ados is an AI that writes listing, seller and buyer ads for Facebook, Instagram and Google search from your listing details and photos, and runs them inside the spend limit you set. It describes the home, the street and the features, never the kind of person who should live there, and you approve every ad before it goes live. Once your account is connected, you can also ask your own AI assistant, such as Claude, how the ads are doing.
Should a realtor use Google ads or Facebook ads for buyer leads?
Use both, for different jobs: Google search for people already typing for an agent or homes in your town, and Facebook and Instagram for people who are not searching yet but stop for a home they like. Search tends to bring fewer, readier buyers, while feed ads bring more early buyers who need longer follow-up. Ados keeps them in separate campaigns so you can see which one turns into booked showings in your market.
