Real Estate Marketing Calendar — 2025 (with Ideas)

To build a successful real estate marketing calendar you need to spend time planning out marketing activities that keep your current clients engaged while you attract new ones.

It can be a bit of a challenge. To help you reach your goals a little faster, we’ve put together a full year’s worth of real estate marketing ideas and holidays. These ideas will help you grow, educate, and delight your client base all year long. 

Start at the top and work your way through the entire year, or skip to the months that are traditionally a high priority and then go back through and see what you can add to your real estate marketing calendar in the rest of the months. And remember, taking your time to plan your 2024 marketing now will save you a great deal of time later — when you might not have it to spare.

That planning is your competitive advantage. For example, only 30% of real estate agents automate follow-ups or drip campaigns, according to our State of Real Estate Marketing Report. This creates a massive opportunity for you to streamline your business and nurture leads at scale. By using your calendar to build those automated campaigns, you ensure consistency and maximize your time.
