Ads vs. Acquisitions: Which Is The Best Strategy For Growing Your Letting Agency?


Listen Later

Through our letting agency coaching with Sally Lawson, we have noticed two strategies stand out the most for the fastest way to grow a letting agency business.


In this podcast episode, listen along as Rhiannon Llewellyn and Gemma Warne battle it out on which is the better strategy. Is it acquiring portfolios, or is its driving traffic through ads?


Rhiannon and business partner Sophie Lang have taken their letting agency on an incredible journey since working with Agent Rainmaker. When they first met us, they weren't business owners - and we have seen them go from managing 300 properties to over 1000 properties through growth by acquisitions, making them the largest letting agency in Cornwall. This incredible growth crowned them the Agent Rainmaker's of the Year in 2023.

Our in house lead generation expert Gemma Warne has seen hundreds of leads being generated for letting agency businesses over the past 4 years. Co-director of our sister company Agent Marketer, Gemma has achieved as high as a 54x return on ad spend for letting agency businesses.
