Do FB Seller Ads Truly Work?
I’ve done Facebook ads for years and I have come to the conclusion that seller campaigns just are not effective, and in order to get sellers you have to ask the right questions to buyer leads. For example:
If you ask, “Do you have a home to sell,” you may never truly know if they own a home because the question is not asking them that. It’s asking them if they have to sell before buying. If they say “no,” then you may assume they just don’t currently own a home. A FB lead has no reason to disclose that information to you, or to assume you are meaning to find out if they own.
If you ask, “Do you have a home to sell,” you may never truly know if they own a home because the question is not asking them that.
The two questions to ask if you really want the answer are:
“Do you currently rent,” or “Do you currently own a home.” Those two questions will help lead you in the right direction. NAR revealed that,
“Buyers 41 to 55 (Gen Xers) consisted of 24% of recent home buyers. This group continues to be the highest earning home buyers with a median income of $113,300 in 2019. Buyers 56 to 65 consisted of 18% of recent buyers and buyers 66 to 74 consisted of 14% of recent buyers.”
With this information and with the right ad targeting (higher net worth targets), you will be sure to get the answers you’re looking for, as those age ranges are sure to be owners as opposed to younger Millennials.
Ask the questions the right way, and you’ll save yourself a bunch of ad dollars as seller-targeted ads run 3-4X’s more than buyer-targeted ads.

Top-producing agents don’t outpace the field because they work harder or have more talent. They grow faster because they cut out the wrong work sooner. Where most agents wonder if they can take on another task, high-output agents ask a better question: Should this even be on my plate? That single shift from capability to […]
Brokerages spend heavily on technology, but most platforms never see real adoption. The problem is not the software itself. It is how these tools are built. Too often, real estate tech can add steps rather than removing work. When a platform creates extra tasks or new routines, agents stop using it, no matter how promising […]
