Frequently Asked Questions

What is a typical lead-to-close conversion rate for a real estate agent?+
Industry benchmarks suggest an average real estate agent converts roughly 3–8% of leads into closed deals, though this varies enormously by lead source. Cold internet leads may convert at 1–2%, while referrals from past clients often convert at 50%+. Track your own numbers for the most accurate planning.
How many deals does a real estate agent need to make $100,000 in Canada?+
It depends on your market's average sale price, commission rate, and brokerage split. In a market with $700,000 average prices, a 2% side commission, and 80/20 split, one deal nets approximately $11,200. To net $100,000 after $30,000 in expenses, you'd need roughly 12 closed transactions.
How do I generate more real estate leads in Canada?+
Common lead generation strategies for Canadian agents include geographic farming (door-knocking, mailers in a specific neighbourhood), online advertising (Google, Meta), open houses, past client referrals, sphere of influence outreach, and platforms like HouseSigma or Zolo. Referrals from past clients typically have the highest conversion rate.
What is the difference between a lead, a prospect, and a client?+
A lead is someone who has expressed interest but not committed to working with you. A prospect is a lead you've qualified — they have a genuine need, timeline, and ability to transact. A client has signed a buyer or listing agreement. Tracking your conversion at each stage helps identify where to improve your process.
