With growing competition and high customer acquisition costs in real estate, brokers across India struggle to generate qualified leads that actually convert. This is the story of how a Bengaluru-based real estate broker generated ₹1.2 Cr in property bookings using a well-structured Facebook Ads strategy—planned and executed by DM4RE, a digital marketing agency specializing only in real estate.
