The Power of Retargeting in Home Sales
By Phil Slezak – Raleigh Real Estate Expert
In today’s digital-first world, most buyers don’t make a move after the first click. In fact, 97% of visitors leave real estate websites without taking action on their first visit. But here’s the secret: I don’t let that first visit be the last. Thanks to retargeting, I keep your property front and center in the minds of buyers until they’re ready to make a move.
If you’re selling your home in Raleigh or investing in real estate here, knowing how digital marketing—specifically retargeting—works can make all the difference in closing a great deal.
What Is Retargeting and Why Should Sellers Care?
Retargeting is a strategy that allows me to show follow-up ads to people who’ve already viewed your home online. Whether they checked it out on Zillow, my website, or clicked through an email—once they’ve shown interest, I use retargeting to stay top-of-mind.
This means when potential buyers browse Instagram, scroll Facebook, or read the news, your listing continues to show up in their feed—even days later. The result? More showings, more offers, and faster closings.
How I Use Retargeting for Raleigh Home Sellers
Here’s a peek behind the curtain of how I use this tool to work smarter (and harder) for my clients:
1. Smart Tracking on Listings
Each one of my listings is equipped with tracking tools (like Facebook Pixel and Google Tags) that capture visitor data. These tools help me build a warm audience of potential buyers who've already expressed interest.
2. Dynamic Ad Campaigns
Using that data, I create ads specifically tailored to those buyers. Think reminders of open houses, price drops, or key features like "home office space" or "chef's kitchen." The ads aren't generic—they’re personalized based on what the buyer has already viewed.
3. Multi-Platform Visibility
Retargeting isn’t just about Facebook. I retarget across Google Display Network, Instagram, YouTube, and even on popular local news websites. That means your home shows up wherever the buyer goes online.
4. Video and Visual Content
Retargeted ads that include video walkthroughs or eye-catching photo carousels drive more clicks than plain images. I use visuals to bring your listing to life—even after someone has left the page.

Real Results from Retargeting in Raleigh
I recently worked with a seller in North Hills whose listing got strong early interest but no serious bites. Using retargeting, I kept the home in front of all the initial viewers, and within days we saw a jump in return traffic to the listing page. One of those return visitors scheduled a tour—and ended up buying the home.
This strategy helps re-engage interested buyers, creating more opportunities to convert traffic into offers.
Why Retargeting Is Perfect for the Raleigh Market
Raleigh is growing fast, and many buyers are relocating from other states. They may browse listings late at night, from another time zone, or in between job interviews. Retargeting helps keep your home in front of them while they weigh their options—and reminds them that your property is still on the market.
For investors and sellers, this means better exposure without spending thousands on broad ad campaigns. I’m able to focus marketing dollars on warm leads—people already interested in your home.
