🏁 Module 1: Understanding the Digital Real Estate Funnel
Before generating leads, understand how people buy or sell homes in 2025:
The 4 Phases of a Digital Real Estate Journey:
- Awareness—they Google, scroll, dream.
- Consideration—They compare agents, tools, and listings.
- Action—They submit a form or schedule a viewing.
- Decision—They hire YOU (or don’t).
Your goal? Build digital assets for each stage and guide them from interest to contract.
