10 Questions to Ask Before Hiring Your Condo Marketing Agency

By Tori Lewandowski

Marketing a condo community is about creating a desirable community that buyers want to invest in and call home. The projects that sell out fast aren’t necessarily the best and biggest buildings on the market—they’re the ones that won the race to be positioned correctly, marketed effectively, and sold strategically.

Choosing the right marketing agency is critical to ensuring a strong return on investment. Below are ten key questions to ask before hiring a condominium marketing agency. These questions fall into four categories: strategy, brand, demand, and enablement.

Strategy

1. Do you have expertise in condominium GTM?

The real estate market is broad, and condominiums have unique challenges compared to single-family homes or multifamily apartment communities. An agency with proven experience in the condominium sector will understand the complexities of pre-sales, homeowner associations, lifestyle positioning, and buyer demographics.

2. What is your go-to-market approach for condominium developments?

A well-structured go-to-market strategy can make or break a project. The right agency should have a clear plan that includes market research, buyer profiling, competitive analysis, and an adaptable strategy to maximize sales from the pre-construction phase through final unit sales.

Brand

3. Are you a creative agency or a digital marketing firm?

The best agencies blend creativity with data-driven digital marketing. A well-branded condominium project must have compelling visual design, a strong narrative, and an effective digital strategy that ensures the right audience sees the message.

4. How do you define and target our ideal buyers?

Every condominium development attracts a different type of buyer—whether it’s young professionals, retirees, or luxury investors. The agency should have a precise process for identifying and targeting these demographics with tailored messaging and outreach strategies.

5. Do you focus more on branding or lead generation?

While branding creates awareness, lead generation drives sales. The best agencies balance both, ensuring that branding efforts translate into real buyer engagement and reservations.

Demand

6. How does your approach accelerate and enable sales?

A successful condominium marketing agency should go beyond generic lead generation and a logo. They need to have proven strategies that convert interest into deposits, streamline the sales funnel, and keep potential buyers engaged throughout the decision-making process.

7. How do you measure marketing success for condominiums?

Effective marketing is results-driven. Agencies should provide clear metrics on lead conversion rates, cost per acquisition, engagement levels, and sales velocity. If an agency only focuses on creative output without measurable performance indicators, reconsider the partnership.

8. How do you align marketing with our sales team?

A disconnect between marketing and sales can cost developers valuable leads. Ensure the agency has a structured communication process with the on-site sales team to adjust campaigns in real time and provide insights that help close deals faster.

Enablement

9. Do you have in-house technology and web capabilities?

A strong digital presence is crucial for condominium marketing. Agencies should offer in-house expertise in website development, search engine optimization (SEO), customer relationship management (CRM) integration, and digital advertising. If they outsource web tech to third parties, it can lead to delays and inconsistencies.

10. What integrations do you have with real estate and property management software?

Seamless integration with real estate platforms, customer databases, and property management software ensures smooth lead nurturing and buyer communication. Ask whether the agency has experience working with platforms like MLS, CRM systems, and digital sales tools.

It's A Tough Market Out There, Choosing the Right Partner Matters

Selecting the right marketing agency isn’t just about flashy visuals or trendy social media campaigns—it’s about finding a partner that understands the condominium market and can drive tangible results.

A great agency will align its strategies with your sales goals, integrate seamlessly with your on-site team, and adapt marketing efforts based on real-time data. By asking the right questions, condominium developers can ensure they choose a marketing partner that delivers not just leads, but committed buyers ready to invest in the community.
