email marketing.

Your best asset is the list: investors, owners, tenants you toured. Most of it hears from you only when you need something. Email that stays useful keeps you the first broker they call.

Whole-list blasts

Every new listing goes to everyone. The industrial investor gets the retail strip, unsubscribes, and misses the warehouse next month.

Post-tour silence

A tenant toured and went quiet. No comparison followed, no check-in before the renewal window, and the landlord’s own broker renewed them.

Spreadsheet investors

Your investor list is a spreadsheet, a Buildout export and one broker’s inbox. Nobody knows who bought what, so nobody can send the right deal.

Availability update

A lease takes months to sign. A sample brokerage writes to the tenant reps and occupiers on its own list, and the first reply asks for the OM.

Example of a sample commercial brokerage, Brenlow Commercial. Before: the last mail Grant M., tenant rep had from them is 14 months old. After 141 of 1180 names are cut, the campaign “Availability update, first quarter” goes to 1039, and the email “Three spaces your clients can tour this month” lands in that inbox. It opens on one line written for them, and they reply. 12 weeks later 44 have replied and the ledger stands at +$16,650. Lease commissions as paid, before splits.

Before Fourteen months since the last email, and it said happy holidays.

  1. Before: Fourteen months since the last email, and it said happy holidays.
  2. Landed: The update goes to tenant reps, occupiers and investors.
  3. Opened: Three spaces, each with its size, its rate and a way to the OM.
  4. Replied: A tenant rep’s client has a lease ending. He asks for the OM.
  5. Back: Under zero for two months, then one lease signs. The second is still out.

What you get

  • Your list sorted by role, property type, size and submarket
  • New listings sent only to the buyers and tenants they fit
  • Just-closed announcements and a quarterly submarket note
  • Follow-up after every tour, and a check-in ahead of each lease expiration you know of
  • Every send, open and reply in your CRM

The cycle

Marketing works Growth: past clients, toured tenants and investors hear from you between deals, so the next deal starts with you.

  1. Lead

    Everything that gets you a lead.

    More people find you and reach out.

  2. Prospect

    Turn interest into a sale.

    More of them say yes, and you never chase.

  3. Client

    Keep the job moving.

    Jobs run on time, with less of you managing them.

  4. Kept or closed

    What happens after the job.

    Finished work brings in the next job.

  5. Growth

    Feed it back into the machine.

    Every finished job helps bring the next lead.

    • Marketing

Then it starts again.

CRM: Customers, conversations, bookings, jobs and employee tasks in one place, across all five.

What we build

The website

A site with every listing, its flyer and specs, and a page for each property type.

SEO

Listing and property type pages that come up when tenants search office or warehouse space.

AEO

Market pages on leases, zoning and build-outs that AI tools can quote when a tenant rep asks.

Lead generation

A space requirements form and listing flyers that ask for an email before the download.

Social posts

New listings and closed deals posted on LinkedIn, where owners and tenant reps look.

AI agents

An AI agent asks size, budget and move-in date before a broker spends a call.

Missed calls

A missed call from a sign gets a text back and a tour of the listing.

Booking

Property tours book into the listing broker’s calendar, with the address and suite.

The dashboard

Every tenant and buyer inquiry, filed by listing, on one dashboard.

Reviews and referrals

After a lease or sale, clients get asked for a review and the name of someone who needs space.

Email campaigns

New listings go to tenant reps and investors by property type and size.

PostHog analytics

PostHog shows which listings get read, and who comes back to the same one.

Session replay

Session replay shows the tenant rep who opened the flyer and never asked.

Monthly numbers

Each month you see inquiries by listing, tours booked and deals in LOI.

Every inquiry reaches one dashboard, and DocuSign stays for the LOI.

What we build

The plan

Less Work

Sends are sorted and written for you. You approve, they go.

Your questions

How often should I email my commercial real estate list?

As often as you have something worth reading for that part of the list: a listing that fits, a closed deal, a market note. Sorting the list is what lets you send more without losing people.

Can AI write my commercial real estate emails?

It can draft them. A broker should check every rate, size and address before anything goes out. We write from your deal data and you approve what is sent.
