Sarah Chen Realty

Overview

Sarah Chen left a corporate career to pursue her passion for real estate, focusing on helping first-time buyers navigate the Austin market. Starting from scratch, she needed to establish credibility quickly in one of the most competitive markets in the country.

The Challenge

As a new agent, Sarah had no online presence while competing against teams with decades of experience and six-figure marketing budgets. Her initial DIY website looked generic and failed to convey her expertise or the caring approach that made her special. After three months, she had received exactly two inquiries.

Our Approach

We developed a brand strategy centered on "making homeownership achievable" - guiding first-time buyers through what feels like an overwhelming process. The website design used warm, approachable colors and genuine photography. We created comprehensive buyer guides, neighborhood spotlights for Austin suburbs, and streamlined inquiry forms designed to reduce anxiety.

The Results

Within 6 months, Sarah went from invisible to appearing on page one for 23 target keywords. More importantly, the leads were ideal - young professionals and families buying their first home. The educational content pre-qualified visitors, resulting in consultations that converted at 68%. Sarah now has a waitlist of buyers.
