Real estate marketing plan that prepares, prices and markets your home

This 90-day plan walks sellers and listing agents through everything that must be done before a listing goes live, how to sequence photography and paid campaigns, what to measure each month, and how to decide when to change course. Use it to prepare your home in Mississauga, Brampton, Toronto or elsewhere in the Greater Toronto Area, and to evaluate any agent’s proposal. If you want a fast conversation about a tailored plan, start with the contact page on Amit Chopra’s website and request a WhatsApp or phone consultation.

Immediate action summary: the 90-day snapshot

Finish prelaunch tasks first: confirm a realistic list price range from comparable sales, complete small repairs, gather condo or title paperwork, and schedule professional photography and measurements. Launch the MLS listing with strong photography, floor plans and a clear marketing brief, run targeted social and email outreach, and host broker tours and open houses. Measure listing views, inquiry rate and scheduled showings weekly, then optimise channels in month two and move to negotiation and closing logistics in month three. A structured marketing plan should document your target audience, channel mix, budget and a 90-day calendar with monthly reviews so you track what converts into offers and signed clients (see guidance from how to make a real estate marketing plan and HousingWire).

Must-finish tasks before you go live

Prelaunch checklist: pricing, paperwork and repairs

• Comparable sales review: have an agent provide 3 to 6 recent, nearby comparables and a suggested list price range. Confirm market-moving differences such as lot size, finished basement and upgrades.
• Legal and condo documents: gather the deed, recent property tax bill, utility history and any condo status certificate so you can respond quickly to buyer requests.
• Safety and small repairs: complete visible maintenance issues that reduce perceived value, for example caulking, door hardware, burnt-out bulbs and any safety fixes.
• Inspections and reports: for some homes it is sensible to order a pre-listing home inspection or appraisal to reduce negotiation friction, but discuss cost and benefits with your agent first.

Presentation tasks: staging, declutter and photography

Visuals are the single most important conversion driver on MLS and portals, so schedule professional photography, accurate room measurements and, if useful, a short walkthrough video before the listing goes live. Light staging and decluttering should be completed ahead of the photographer’s visit so images reflect the best use of space. Prioritise exterior curb appeal photos and well-lit interior shots, and add a floor plan so buyers quickly understand layout and flow.

The 90-day calendar: what to do month by month

Month 0: final preparation and soft outreach (days −14 to 0)

• Finalise list price range with your agent and sign the listing agreement.
• Complete agreed repairs, staging and the professional photographer appointment.
• Create marketing copy, feature list and floor plans. Prepare a package for broker preview and neighbours.
• Soft outreach: notify selected agents, neighbourhood mailing lists and any buyers in your agent’s pipeline to create early awareness.

Month 1: listing launch and initial lead generation (days 1–30)

• Publish on MLS, syndicate to major portals and release the photo and video assets.
• Run short, targeted social ads to local audiences and buyer profiles, with a clear call to action to book showings.
• Host broker tours and schedule the first open house if the neighbourhood supports foot traffic.
• Track first-week KPIs: listing views, portal click-throughs, inquiries and showings scheduled. Early metrics tell you whether the listing copy and visuals are working.

Month 2: optimise, expand and convert (days 31–60)

• Review channel performance and move budget to the highest converting tactics. Avoid activating too many new channels at once so you can identify what actually creates qualified leads.
• Refresh creative if inquiries fall off, for example by adding a virtual tour or a short neighbourhood video.
• Increase targeted broker outreach and follow up with showings that produced buyer interest. Run an additional open house or invitation-only viewing for highly qualified prospects.

Month 3: negotiation, offers and closing path (days 61–90)

• Focus on converting interest into offers. Use the comparable sales packet and property history to support asking price during negotiations.
• If multiple offers arrive, evaluate terms beyond price such as closing flexibility and conditions, and let your agent coordinate a timeline for conditional acceptance windows.
• Prepare closing logistics: ensure all documents are ready, confirm accepted offer contingencies, and discuss escrow and closing dates with your agent and lawyer.

Channel mix and sequencing: where to spend time and money

A balanced channel mix typically includes MLS and portals, professional photos and video, targeted social advertising, email outreach to agent databases, broker tours and select open houses. Sequence channels so that high-visibility assets are ready at launch, then extend reach with paid social and email for two to four weeks. Industry templates recommend documenting a channel mix, budget and calendar in 90-day cycles and reviewing performance monthly to understand what converts into offers rather than testing many new tactics simultaneously (see how to make a real estate marketing plan and HousingWire for planning advice).

Channel expectations: what each channel typically delivers

• MLS and portals: broad exposure and the main source of qualified buyer inquiries and agent referrals.
• Professional photography and video: significantly increases click-through rate and perceived value.
• Targeted social ads: useful for creating immediate awareness and driving booked showings when the creative is strong and the audience is local.
• Broker outreach and email: drives earnest showings from agents who represent active buyers and often yields the most qualified leads.

KPIs and measurement: what success looks like each month

Track the following weekly and report monthly: listing views, portal impressions, ad clicks, inquiry rate (inquiries divided by views), showings scheduled, offers received, days on market and list-to-sale price ratio. Use these KPIs to run a monthly review, decide whether to refresh marketing, and reprice if comparable evidence supports a change. Document who owns each metric, the reporting cadence and a corrective action plan if targets fall short, for example refreshed creative or an adjusted ad spend.

Common seller objections and how to evaluate agent proposals

• DIY marketing versus agent marketing: ask to see sample assets and results. Professional photos and MLS exposure usually outperform amateur listings.
• Fee justification: require a clear budget and expected return, plus a 90-day calendar so you see deliverables tied to each commission milestone.
• Privacy and showing schedule: confirm a showing plan that respects your needs while maximising buyer access for peak windows.
• Aggressive pricing versus realistic pricing: ask for a comparable sales packet and a documented strategy for testing price and managing offers.

Decision criteria when choosing an agent

Use this checklist when interviewing agents: clarity of the 90-day calendar, sample marketing assets (photos, video, floor plans), measurable KPIs and reporting cadence, references and recent local sales, documented negotiation examples, and communication commitments including response time. A strong proposal will show which channels are used, the expected budget split and when you will receive performance updates.

Frequently asked questions

What must be finished before an agent lists my home?

Complete the comparable sales review, gather legal and condo documents, finish small repairs and staging, and schedule professional photography and measurements. These items ensure the listing launches at the right price with professional visuals.

How long does a 90-day real estate marketing plan typically take to generate offers?

Many listings receive qualified interest in the first 30 days if preparation and photos are strong. The 90-day plan sets milestones to generate visibility in month one, increase conversion efforts in month two, and focus on negotiation and closing in month three. Performance varies by neighbourhood and price band, so use the KPIs described above to decide on next steps.

Which marketing channels produce the most qualified buyers in the GTA market?

MLS exposure combined with broker outreach and professional photos typically produces the most qualified showings. Paid social can accelerate awareness and booked showings when targeted correctly, while email and agent networks often deliver serious buyer leads.

How do you measure whether paid ads are worth the cost for my listing?

Measure ad spend against booked showings and qualified inquiries. Track ad clicks, cost per inquiry and the conversion rate from inquiry to showing. If one channel gives a lower cost per qualified showing, reallocate budget there and pause low-performing campaigns.

What questions should I ask an agent to compare marketing proposals?

Ask for a 90-day calendar, sample photos and video, channel breakdown and budgets, KPIs they will track, reporting cadence, references and evidence of negotiation outcomes on similar listings. Confirm response time commitments and how urgent decisions will be handled during offers.
