Ads for Real estate

Buyer and seller leads from your market, run inside the fair housing rules the platforms enforce.

Ados runs your ads on Meta and Google. You approve every ad before it runs.

Run My Ads is an AI ad service for real estate agents and teams. Its assistant, Ados, plans, writes and runs Facebook, Instagram and Google search ads for listings, home value requests and buyer guides, sets every Meta campaign up under the housing special ad category, and sends each buyer or seller lead to the agent's own CRM or calendar. It is for agents who want listing and buyer conversations from ads without hiring an agency, and the agent approves every ad before it runs.

Real estate ads run under special rules on Meta and Google, because housing ads must reach everyone fairly. Ados sets every campaign up under those rules from the start, and builds ads around your listings, your market and what sellers want to know. Ados makes the ads, you approve every one before it runs, and you can stop any ad any time.

Straight answers

What real estate agents ask about ads, answered.

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.

Is it right for you

When Run My Ads fits real estate agents, and when it does not.

A good fit when

  • You have listings, or want more of them, and a clear area you work in.
  • You or your team can follow up with new buyer and seller leads the same day, and keep in touch for months.
  • You want the ad accounts in your own name or your brokerage's, with every ad and every dollar visible to you.
  • You are comfortable with ads that describe homes and services rather than the people you hope to reach.

Not the right fit when

  • You want to pick your audience by age, family status or ZIP code. Housing ads on Meta and Google do not allow it, and Run My Ads will not work around it.
  • Your brokerage does not let agents run their own ads, or must approve each ad in a process too slow to keep up with new versions.
  • You want someone to call or text your leads for you. Run My Ads runs ads; each lead goes to your own CRM or calendar, and your team follows up.
  • You want to buy leads by the piece. Run My Ads does not sell leads; it runs ads in your business's name, in ad accounts you can see.
Problems we solve

What goes wrong with real estate agents ads, and what Ados does about it.

Home value ads bring names but few listing appointments.

What Ados does: Ados judges seller ads on booked listing appointments, and shifts budget toward the versions and areas that turn requests into appointments.

Where to start: Connect your calendar or CRM so a listing appointment counts.

Real estate ads get rejected or limited under the housing rules.

What Ados does: Ados sets Meta's housing category on real estate campaigns and checks each ad's wording for words that steer by who the buyer is, lines the ad platforms are likely to reject, before you see it.

Where to start: Start with one listing ad that describes only the home.

Listing photos sit on the MLS and do nothing else.

What Ados does: Ados turns each new listing's photos and details into short video and image ads, and asks you to approve them.

Where to start: Send the photos and details of your next listing.

The detail

How real estate agents ads are set up.

Who the ads reach

Housing ads reach people by broad location, so pick the towns and areas where you actually list and sell, with the wider radius Meta requires, and let the home and the offer do the sorting. Keep seller offers, such as home value requests, apart from buyer ads and single listings so each is judged on its own. On Google, split agent searches, home value searches and homes for sale searches into their own campaigns, and add negative keywords for rentals, jobs and licensing courses.

The ad rules that bite

Meta requires the housing special ad category for real estate ads in the US, which removes age, gender and ZIP code targeting, sets a wider minimum location radius, limits detailed targeting and drops lookalikes built on demographics. Google applies similar limits to personalized housing ads. Fair housing law bars ad wording that prefers or excludes people by race, color, religion, sex, disability, family status or national origin, and your state and brokerage may require your brokerage name on every ad. Ados checks each ad's wording for lines the ad platforms are likely to reject, and the platforms still review every ad; you and your broker stay responsible for state and brokerage rules.

Creative that works

Walk-through video of a real listing, filmed on a phone with you in it, usually beats a polished slideshow. Seller ads work when they offer something concrete, such as a home value review or a plain guide to selling in your town. Copy should describe rooms, light, the street and what is nearby in neutral terms, never who the home is for.

The budget ramp

Start with one seller campaign and one listing or buyer campaign, each with a daily budget held for a few weeks. Real estate leads close over months, so read booked appointments first and closed deals later once your CRM is connected. Move money to the offer and area that book, and pause the ones that only collect names; Ados moves budget only inside the limit you set.

A typical funnel

From the first ad to a customer.

  1. A listing or a question

    Someone sees a home or wonders what theirs is worth.

  2. A page for that offer

    Home value, buyer guide or listing page, with the fair housing logo where needed.

  3. Form

    A short form. The lead goes straight to your CRM.

  4. Ados reads the results

    Judged on booked appointments with buyers and sellers, not clicks.

Run My Ads runs ads. It does not call or text your leads; each lead goes to your own CRM or calendar for your team.

What not to do

Where the budget leaks.

The mistakes and platform rules that cost real estate agents the most.

Skipping the housing category

Meta requires real estate ads to run under the housing special ad category, which removes age, gender and ZIP code targeting. Ads that skip it get rejected or restricted.

Words that exclude

Fair housing law bans ad language that prefers or excludes people by family status, religion, disability and more. "Perfect for young couples" is a problem.

Only selling yourself

People respond to homes and answers more than to an agent's headshot.

Leads with no follow-up

Real estate leads take time. Plan the follow-up before you buy the clicks.

Questions from real estate agents

Can Ados run Facebook ads for real estate agents?

Yes. Ados sets the campaigns up under Meta's housing special ad category and builds listing, seller and buyer ads. You approve each ad.

Why can't I target by age or ZIP code?

Housing ads must not shut anyone out. Meta and Google remove age, gender and ZIP code targeting for them in the US, so ads reach people by broader location.

Does Ados promise a number of leads or sales?

No. Ados reports what each ad brought in and recommends changes. Results depend on your market and follow-up.

Is this legal advice about fair housing?

No. It is general information. Ask your broker or a lawyer about the fair housing rules that apply to your ads.
