Before Your Call — Here's What to Know

The call will cover two questions almost everyone asks:

  • →Will this work in my market?
  • →How likely is this to work for me?

At the end of the day it comes down to one thing: Will I get a return on my ad spend? We'll walk through everything you need to make an educated decision.

The Most Important Thing to Understand

We Don't Have the Lowest Cost Per Lead — and That's Why Our Clients Have a Higher ROI

When we first started running Meta ads for ourselves, we were getting 1 in 35 leads to a contract. On the surface our CPL looked cheap. But we were flooding pipelines with junk — and junk leads don't close, they just clog up your conversion rates and waste your team's time.

So we changed how we qualify leads on the lead form. That change took our lead-to-contract down to 1 in 15. Yes, the cost per lead went up. Here's what happened to the numbers:

Before Quality Changes

Leads to contract1 in 35
Cost per lead$60
Cost per appointment$800

After Quality Changes

Leads to contract1 in 15
Cost per lead$120
Cost per appointment$400

Return on ad spend

Our average cost per lead across all active clients as of April 2026 is $77.71. But the number that actually matters is cost per appointment— that's what drives your contract rate and your ROI. If you want to work with someone who focuses on return on investment rather than the cheapest CPL number, you're in the right place.

How We Keep Lead Quality High

People who've tried Meta ads before usually say one of two things: “It worked for a while, then lead quality dropped” — or — “The leads were just low quality from the start.”Common problems when accounts aren't managed correctly:

  • ✕A lot of retail leads — people who just want to list, not sell to an investor
  • ✕Leads that weren't ready to sell for months or years
  • ✕Out-of-area leads that waste your team's time
  • ✕Unverified phone numbers that never answer

These happen when there's no game plan to fix issues for each account individually. Most agencies are one-size-fits-all. Ours is highly customized — and we look at your account every single day.

  • ✓We review your 7-day and 30-day CPL daily and make adjustments before you'd ever know there's an issue — extremely proactive
  • ✓Weekly lead quality review — location, equity, and sales team feedback
  • ✓Our lead form is built to train Meta's algorithm — not just gather the 4 pillars of information (condition, timeline, motivation, price). Those tell you about the property, not whether the seller actually wants to sell. When we used the 4 pillar qualification form, our lead-to-contract ratio was 1 in 35. Now that we filter for the correct avatar, our conversion is 1 in 15
  • ✓Every lead has equity, fits your buy box, and has a verified phone number — ~90–95% answer the phone
  • ✓We primarily use pain-focused video ads — 9% lower CPL and 20% higher quality lead vs. image ads, targeting sellers who need to sell in the next 30 days for a financial reason

If performance is ever slow — that's data, not failure. Whatever the issue is, we have a process to diagnose and fix it.
