PR Services for Real Estate Developers, Brokers, and Investment Firms

Real estate public relations is the strategic approach to building awareness and credibility for real estate projects through earned media coverage and storytelling. It gets your projects in front of journalists, bloggers, and influencers who cover real estate, lifestyle, and business topics (and, by extension, the public).

We tell your development's story through media coverage, thought leadership, and tailored communications that build trust with buyers, investors, and community stakeholders. Think of it as creating buzz without buying ads.

Yes, we work with both residential and commercial real estate clients.

Our residential expertise covers everything from luxury condos and master-planned communities to affordable housing developments. On the commercial side, we promote office buildings, retail centers, industrial facilities, and mixed-use projects.

Absolutely. Property launches are one of our core specialties.

We develop launch campaigns that generate buzz before your grand opening and sustain momentum throughout your sales period. That includes securing features in real estate publications, lifestyle magazines, and local news outlets.

For high-profile developments, we can also coordinate media tours, arrange interviews with stakeholders, and create press materials for journalists.

We write press releases for high-value or unique property listings that have genuine news value.

Not every listing needs a press release, but when you have a record-breaking sale, historic property, or celebrity home, we create releases that media outlets are excited to publish. We focus on the story behind the property: architectural significance, neighborhood transformation, or market trends it represents.

Property development PR is actually our sweet spot, and it’s one of the best use cases for real estate PR services. We work with our developer clients from ground-breaking through grand opening to create sustained media attention that follows your project timeline.

New development announcements, construction milestones, design partnerships, and community benefits are a few of the things we’ll plan for. If the project demands it, we can even keep neighbors, city officials, and investors informed on your behalf.

And for larger developments, you can have us coordinate ribbon cuttings, media tours, and VIP preview events that generate both immediate coverage and long-term buzz.

We position investment firm leaders as market experts and thought leaders in their respective areas. We land them speaking opportunities at industry conferences, arrange podcast interviews, and get bylined articles placed in trade publications.

We’ll also promote your company’s major transactions, new fund launches, and market insights through targeted media outreach. That way, you build your reputation with current/future investors, brokers, and partners.

Yes.

High-end properties need sophisticated storytelling that appeals to affluent buyers and premium lifestyle publications. To accomplish this, we craft narratives around architectural pedigree, exclusive amenities, and the lifestyle your property enables. Then, we create an aura of exclusivity around your listings through “exclusive” media access.

Our media relationships include luxury magazines, high-net-worth lifestyle publications, and multinational real estate outlets that reach wealthy demographics.

PR builds trust and credibility in ways that advertising simply cannot match. It creates a lasting digital footprint through online articles, podcast appearances, and social media mentions that continue working for years.

When a respected publication features your development or a journalist quotes you as a market expert, that third-party validation carries enormous weight with potential clients and buyers. You also reach audiences who might never see your ads, like people reading business journals, lifestyle magazines, or industry publications.

Smart real estate companies use PR to stay visible during both hot and cold markets. In booming markets, it helps you stand out and command premium prices by showing what makes your properties special. During slower periods, consistent media presence keeps your brand top-of-mind when buyers return to the market.

You can also use PR to build relationships with city planners, community leaders, and industry influencers who impact your business long-term.

A winning real estate PR strategy starts with clear messaging that differentiates your brand and properties from the competition. You need compelling story angles (think: design innovation, community impact, market expertise, or unique amenities).

Once you nail that, consistent content output is crucial: market insights, project updates, and thought leadership pieces that position you as an industry expert.

You'll typically see initial media coverage within 30-90 days of launching a campaign, depending on your news cycle and story angles. Building consistent brand recognition and thought leadership takes 6-12 months of sustained effort.

For property launches, we usually start PR campaigns 3-6 months before sales begin to build anticipation and generate qualified buyer interest.

The most valuable results — like being recognized as a market leader or having journalists call you for expert commentary — develop over 12-18 months of consistent coverage.

Real estate PR is the epitome of “a marathon, not a sprint.” The companies that invest consistently over time see exponentially better results than those looking for quick hits.

Absolutely. Through PR, you can build a positive media presence that pushes down negative search results and creates a buffer of goodwill for when challenges arise.

When construction delays, neighbor complaints, or market downturns happen, existing relationships with journalists help ensure balanced coverage as opposed to one-sided negative stories.

For agents and firms dealing with existing reputation issues, we develop strategic campaigns that highlight positive community impact, successful projects, and thought leadership to rebuild credibility over time.

The most successful real estate PR campaigns focus on visual storytelling (architectural renderings, construction progress photos, and lifestyle imagery). This is what helps people envision living or working in your spaces, something that’s important even for investors.

As for specific strategies, there are a few: project milestones (for development projects), thought leadership (for agents and execs), community impact stories (for drawing in local support), lifestyle and design-focused stories (to attract investors/buyers), and awards/recognition (for irrefutable third-party credibility).

Most successful real estate companies invest 5-10% of their revenue on PR, though this varies significantly by company size and project scale.

For major developments, PR investment often ranges from $10,000-50,000 per month during active campaign periods, scaling up for launches and major milestones. Smaller developers might start with $5,000-15,000 monthly retainers focused on consistent thought leadership and project coverage.

Consider your customer lifetime value. If one media-driven buyer is worth $1M+ at the sale, modest PR investment pays for itself quickly.

Start local and expand strategically based on your actual customer base and growth plans. Local PR delivers immediate ROI because most real estate decisions happen within specific geographic markets, and local journalists are more accessible for building relationships.

National PR makes sense when you're targeting investors, expanding into new markets, or have truly newsworthy developments that warrant broader coverage. Still, we’d recommend using a 70/30 split: 70% local market focus with 30% national thought leadership that supports expansion goals.

The biggest mistake is treating PR like advertising by pushing sales messages instead of creating genuinely newsworthy stories that journalists want to cover. In fact, lots of companies wait until they're ready to sell before starting PR, missing months of relationship-building and anticipation-generating coverage.

On top of that, ignoring negative coverage or community concerns instead of addressing them proactively will make small problems become major reputation issues.
