• Writing a Business Plan

Writing a business plan may seem a daunting task as there are so many moving parts and concepts to address. Take it one step at a time and be sure to schedule regular review (quarterly, semi-annually, or annually) of your plan to be sure you on are track to meet your goals.

Why Write a Business Plan?

Making a business plan creates the foundation for your business. It provides an easy-to-understand framework and allows you to navigate the unexpected.

Quick Takeaways

• A good business plan not only creates a road map for your business, but helps you work through your goals and get them on paper
• Business plans come in many formats and contain many sections, but even the most basic should include a mission and vision statement, marketing plans, and a proposed management structure
• Business plans can help you get investors and new business partners

Source: Write Your Business Plan: United States Small Business Association

Writing a business plan is imperative to getting your business of the ground. While every plan is different – and most likely depends on the type and size of your business – there are some basic elements you don’t want to ignore.

EBSCO articles ( E ) are available only to NAR members and require the member's nar.realtor login.

Defining Your Mis​sion & Vision

Writing a business plan begins by defining your business’s mission and vision statement. Though creating such a statement may seem like fluff, it is an important exercise. The mission and vision statement sets the foundation upon which to launch your business. It is difficult to move forward successfully without first defining your business and the ideals under which your business operates. A company description should be included as a part of the mission and vision statement. Some questions you should ask yourself include: 

• What type of real estate do you sell?
• Where is your business located?
• Who founded your business?
• What sets your business apart from your competitors?

How to Write a Mission Statement ( The Balance , Jan. 2, 2020)

How to Write a Mission Statement ( Janel M. Radtke , 1998)

Using a SWOT Analysis to Structure Your Business Plan

Once you’ve created a mission and vision statement, the next step is to develop a SWOT analysis. SWOT stands for “Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats.” It is difficult to set goals for your business without first enumerating your business’s strengths and weaknesses, and the strengths and weaknesses of your competitors. Evaluate by using the following questions:

• Do you offer superior customer service as compared with your competitors?
• Do you specialize in a niche market? What experiences do you have that set you apart from your competitors?
• What are your competitors’ strengths?
• Where do you see the market already saturated, and where are there opportunities for expansion and growth?

SWOT Analysis Toolbox ( University of Washington )

Setting ​Business Goals

Next, translate your mission and vision into tangible goals. For instance, if your mission statement is to make every client feel like your most important client, think about the following:

• How specifically will you implement this?
• Do you want to grow your business?
• Is this growth measured by gross revenue, profit, personnel, or physical office space?
• How much growth do you aim for annually?
• What specific targets will you strive to hit annually in the next few years?

What are Business Goals? Definition, How To Set Business Goals and Examples ( Indeed , Jul. 31, 2023)

Establishing a Format

Most businesses either follow a traditional business plan format or a lean startup plan.

Traditional Business Plan

A traditional business plan is detailed and comprehensive. Writing this business plan takes more time. A traditional business plan typically contains the following elements:

• Executive Summary
• Company description
• Market analysis
• Organization and management
• Service or product line
• Marketing and sales
• Funding request
• Financial projections

Lean Startup Plan

A lean startup plan requires high-level focus but is easier to write, with an emphasis on key elements. A lean startup plan typically contains the following elements:

• Key partnerships
• Key activities
• Key resources
• Value proposition
• Customer relationships
• Customer segments
• Cost structure
• Revenue stream

Creating a Marketing Plan

You may wish to create a marketing plan as either a section of your business plan or as an addendum. The Marketing Mix concerns product , price , place and promotion .

• What is your product?
• How does your price distinguish you from your competitors—is it industry average, upper quartile, or lower quartile?
• How does your pricing strategy benefit your clients?
• How and where will you promote your services?
• What types of promotions will you advertise?
• Will you ask clients for referrals or use coupons?
• Which channels will you use to place your marketing message?

10 Questions You Need to Answer to Create a Powerful Marketing Plan ( The Balance , Jan. 16, 2020)

Forming a Team

Ensuring the cooperation of all colleagues, supervisors, and supervisees involved in your plan is another important element to consider. Some questions to consider are:

• Is your business plan’s success contingent upon the cooperation of your colleagues?
• If so, what specifically do you need them to do?
• How will you evaluate their participation?
• Are they on-board with the role you have assigned them?
• How will you get “buy in” from these individuals?

Implementing a Business Plan and Reviewing Regularly

Implementation and follow-up are frequently overlooked aspects to the business plan, yet vital to the success of the plan. Set dates (annually, semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly) to review your business plans goals. Consider the following while reviewing:

• Are you on track?
• Are the goals reasonable to achieve, impossible, or too easy?
• How do you measure success—is it by revenue, profit, or number of transactions?

And lastly, think about overall goals.

• How do you plan to implement your business plan’s goals?
• When will you review and refine your business plan goals?
• What process will you use to review your goals?
• What types of quantitative and qualitative data will you collect and use to measure your success?

These items are only a few sections of a business plan. Depending on your business, you may want to include additional sections in your plan such as a:

• Cover letter stating the reasoning behind developing a business plan
• Non-disclosure statement
• Table of contents

The Bottom Line

Creating a business plan may seem daunting, but by understanding your business and market fully, you can create a plan that generates success (however you choose to define it).

Our comprehensive Real Estate business plan template acts as an ideal guide to structuring your own detailed and efficient business plan. With its easy-to-follow sections, it requires you to think critically about all aspects of your real estate business, from the Executive Summary to Market Analysis and Financial Projections.

Each section of this template is designed to clearly present your business’s crucial elements to potential investors, lenders, and other interested parties and can be effortlessly tailored to suit your specific business characteristics.

By following these nine steps, you can create a solid business plan that will impress!

Table of Contents

1. Executive Summary

The executive summary is a concise introduction to your real estate business. It should provide an overview to investors and other readers. Although it’s the first section, you might find it helpful to complete it after all other sections have been detailed.

Introduction

Start by introducing your real estate business. What is its name? What exactly does your company do? Are you a residential, commercial, or investment property firm?

Example: XYZ Properties is a real estate company specialising in acquiring, refurbishing, and renting residential properties in Greater Dublin.

Business Overview

Give a high-level review of your real estate business. Explain your business’s core activities and the properties you deal with.

Example: Our primary business revolves around purchasing underperforming or outdated residential properties, revitalising them, and then marketing them for rent to young professionals and small families.

Mission and Vision Statement

Describe your real estate company’s mission statement and vision statement. This should define your business’s purpose, long-term goals, and strategies.

Example: Our full mission statement is to enhance the local residential market by transforming neglected homes into quality rental properties. Our vision is to contribute to community development and provide affordable, high-quality homes for the local populace.

Geographic Reach

Explain where your real estate business operates, your target areas, and your influence on the local real estate market in these regions.

Example: XYZ Properties currently focuses on the Greater Dublin area, specifically markets that show high rental demand yet lack updated, affordable housing options.

Service Type

Describe the type of property services you offer – buying, selling, renting, renovation, etc.

Example: We primarily purchase, renovate, and rent residential properties. We provide end-to-end property management services for our tenants.

Major Goals and Objectives

Outline your business’s short-term and long-term goals. These very smart goals should be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-bound) goals.

Example: Our short-term goal is to acquire and refurbish five additional properties within the next fiscal year. In the long term, we aim to expand our operations to cover additional geographical areas within the next five years.

2. Business Description and Value Proposition

This section provides an in-depth understanding of your real estate business, including its structure, operating principles, and how it stands out from the competition.

Nature of the Business

Describe in detail the makeup of your successful real estate business and its key operations. From property sourcing to renovation, leasing, maintenance, and eventual sale, explain your real estate business’s overall process and stages.

Example: XYZ Properties is a full-service real estate investment and property management company. We identify undervalued properties, purchase and renovate them, find suitable tenants and manage the property to provide high-quality living while ensuring a steady return on the investments.

Customer Problems and Solutions

Identify the major challenges that your potential customers face and how your business solves those problems.

Example: Many younger professionals and families struggle to find well-maintained, affordable rental homes in good neighbourhoods. We bridge this gap by providing fully renovated, comfortable homes at a budget-friendly price in appealing locations.

Uniqueness and Competitive Edge

Describe what differentiates your real estate business from competitors. This could be your business model, unmatched customer service, proprietary technology, strategic partnerships, etc.

Example: XYZ Properties distinguishes itself by offering an entirely hassle-free rental experience. Our dedicated property management team handles any maintenance issues promptly, and our online portal lets tenants pay rent, submit service requests, and communicate with our team with just a few clicks.

3. Market Analysis

This part helps to understand the environment in which your real estate business operates. It includes an analysis of the overall industry, target market, and competition.

Industry Description and Outlook

Give an overview of the real estate industry in the area you serve. Discuss aspects like growth trends, factors affecting the industry, opportunities, and challenges.

Example: The Dublin residential rental market has grown steadily over the past few years, with a growing population and demand for quality housing. With limited new constructions and current housing stock ageing, property refurbishment presents a favourable opportunity.

Target Market Analysis

Define your next target client or market in terms of demographics, geographic location, socioeconomic status, etc., and explain why this segment is ideal for your business.

Example: Our primary target market is young professionals and small families from middle-income brackets looking for rental homes. This group values quality living spaces in convenient locations and is willing to pay a premium for renovated well-maintained homes.

Competitive Analysis

Identify your main competitors in your area. Analyse their strategies, strengths, and weaknesses. Show how you’ll position your business to stand out.

Example: While several property management firms and individual landlords operate in our region, their primary focus seems to be maintaining the status quo rather than upgrading properties to cater to tenants’ rising expectations. XYZ Properties stands out by focusing on delivering quality, updated accommodation that appeals to our target market.

4. Business Structure and Management

This section discusses the legal and organisational structure that your real estate business adheres to and presents information about the management team.

Legal Description and Ownership Structure

Provide the legal structure of your real estate business. Are you a sole proprietor, partnership, or corporation? Clarify this and explain why such a structure was chosen.

Example: XYZ Properties is a Private Limited Company (PLC). This structure allows us to operate as an independent legal entity, which attracts investors, limits personal liability, and enhances business credibility.

Management Team

Present details about your key management team members, roles, industry experience, and qualifications.

Example: Our management team includes a CEO with a background in property management, a CFO with extensive financing experience, and a Property Manager who brings years of maintenance expertise. Their collective knowledge provides a comprehensive skill set to manage all aspects of our real estate business effectively.

5. Marketing and Sales Strategy

This part of your business plan needs to articulate how the real estate business anticipates marketing efforts attracting its target market.

Marketing Plan

Describe your real estate marketing strategy. Are you going to use real estate listing websites, social media, local advertising, network events, or perhaps a combination of the above? Explain each channel and its importance.

Example: We use a mix of online and offline marketing strategies. Our properties are listed on major real estate websites, and we leverage social media to showcase our refurbished units. We also have property listings and actively network with local businesses and community events to promote our quality rental homes.

Sales Strategy

Explain your sales strategy. This would include how you negotiate contracts, pricing strategy, sales forecast, etc.

Example: Our sales strategy is to price our rental units competitively, offering top-of-the-market amenities to justify the pricing. We leverage property viewings to highlight the benefits of our homes, focusing on the quality of refurbishments, location, and our dedicated property management services.

Growth Strategy

Discuss any plans to expand your real estate business – for instance, moving to new locations, adding new property types, or scaling your business model.

Example: In the long term, we aim to expand our portfolio to include commercial property and possibly venture into real estate development. In the medium term, our growth strategy involves expanding to newer suburbs in the Dublin region.

6. Operations

This part outlines the operational aspects of your real estate business, including location, facilities, equipment, and technology needs.

Geographic Location

Provide details on where your own real estate agent or business is based and where it operates. Discuss why these locations have been chosen.

Example: XYZ Properties is headquartered in downtown Dublin and operates across the Greater Dublin area. This region has been strategically chosen for its high rental demand and robust transportation network.

Facilities and Equipment

If applicable, describe the facilities needed to support your business, including office space, renovation equipment, etc.

Example: Our business operates from a compact office in downtown Dublin, where our administrative functions originate. All property renovation is performed with high-quality equipment and materials to ensure the delivery of superior residential properties.

Technology Needs

Describe the technology your real estate business uses. This could include software for property management, digital marketing tools, and customer relationship management (CRM) software.

Example: XYZ Properties uses cutting-edge property management software that streamlines most functions, such as rent collection, tenant communication, and maintenance requests. We also employ digital marketing tools to promote our business and properties.

7. Implementation Strategy

In this section, outline how your real estate business plan will implement your business strategies and define milestones and timelines based on your objectives and goals.

Role and Responsibilities of Team Members

Detail the roles and responsibilities of each team member. This should relate to the operational strategies you outlined earlier.

Example: Our CEO oversees strategic decision-making and investment sourcing. Our CFO is responsible for financial management and budgeting. The Property Manager handles all operational aspects related to properties, from overseeing renovations to interacting with tenants and addressing their needs.

Milestones and Timelines

Outline your business plan into a series of measurable and achievable milestones. Provide a timeline for when each milestone will be achieved. This gives your team a roadmap to follow and helps investors understand your approach.

Example: The immediate milestone is acquiring and refurbishing three additional properties within six months. We aim to lease those properties within a subsequent three-month period. Our longer-term milestones are focused on portfolio expansion and diversification, measured by adding an average of six new properties per year for the next five years.

8. Financial Plan and Projections

This section outlines your financial goals, sources of revenue, and detailed financial projections.

Start-up/Financial Summary

Describe the financial overview of your company. If it’s an existing business, provide your actual financial data, including revenue, costs, a cash flow statement, etc. For start-ups, describe the initial capital involved and how expenses would be financed.

Example: XYZ Properties, being a well-established company, operates on its steady revenues generated through rentals. Our revenues cover property acquisition, renovation costs, and operating expenses. A reserve fund is maintained for unexpected contingencies.

Revenue and Pricing Model

Discuss your source of revenue and your pricing strategy. In real estate, this typically involves property rent or sale prices, management or service fees, etc.

Example: Our primary revenue stream is rental income derived from our properties. We set rent prices based on the quality of the property, location, and market conditions while ensuring a healthy return on our investments.

Forecasted Profit and Loss

Provide a profit and loss statement forecast. This should include your average sales price forecast, expected expenses, and profits for at least three years into the future.

Example: Based on our current property portfolio and expansion plans, we project an annual rental income growth of 7% for the next three years. After accounting for all operating expenses and necessary investments in new properties, we expect a net profit margin of about 15% consistently over this time frame.

Projected Cash Flow

Offer your cash flow projection. This shows that your business is solvent and can successfully pay its debts and operational expenses.

Example: Our cash flow projections display the influx of income from rentals and the outlay for property acquisitions, renovations, maintenance, and administrative costs. We foresee a consistent positive cash flow, keeping our business financially healthy.

Project Financial Assumptions

Detail any assumptions made while creating your financial outlook.

Example: Our projections presume a steady rental demand and property market stability. We’ve also assumed steady cost escalations of around 3% per annum for property upkeep and other variable expenses. Our major capital expenses are assumed to be funded through internal accruals and bank loans.

9. Appendices

This section should include any additional documents or support for your business plan.

Organisational Chart

Attach a chart showing your real estate business’s organisational structure. This will help investors understand the hierarchy and functions within your company.

Example: Our organisational chart clearly represents the hierarchical construction of XYZ Properties. It indicates the roles of the CEO, CFO, Property Manager, and support staff, providing our investors with a clear view of our company structure.

Resume of Key Team Members

Attach the resumes of your key team members to give investors a better understanding of their skills, experience, and how they contribute to the success of your business.

Example: Attached are the profiles of our CEO, who has over 15 years of real estate investment and management experience, and our CFO and Property Manager, who have combined experience of 20 years in their respective fields.

Detailed Budget

Include a detailed account of your budget, showing everything from initial investment to projected income versus expenses.

Example: Attached is a detailed budget document that outlines our projected revenues and expenses for the next fiscal year, including acquisition costs, renovation expenses, operational costs, and anticipated rental income.

Market Research

Provide some market research to validate your business assumptions.

Example: Enclosed is a recent real estate market report for the Greater Dublin area. It highlights key trends in the rental market. It demonstrates the significant demand for quality rental homes among the young professionals and family demographic.

Which Real Estate Business Is Most Profitable?

The profitability of a real estate business largely depends on factors such as location, market conditions, investment strategies, and operational proficiency. That being said, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are often highly profitable, primarily because they allow investors to buy shares in commercial real estate portfolios that generate income. Rental property businesses, especially in high-demand areas, can offer consistent cash flow as well.

Flipping properties – buying homes, renovating them, and quickly reselling them for a profit – can be lucrative, too. However, it involves higher risk and depends on market trends. Commercial real estate, dealing with properties like offices, retail space, or warehouses , often fetches substantial returns but requires significant capital.

Ultimately, the key lies in understanding the market, assessing risk effectively, and managing investments wisely to ensure profitability in any real estate business.

Get Started In Real Estate

Remember that a high-quality, well-researched real estate business plan could be instrumental in your real estate business’s success and growth. It will guide your decisions, attract investors, and help keep your real estate business on the right track towards achieving its goals.

How to Write a Real Estate Agent Business Plan?

A business plan should be clear-cut and ever-changing. It should have goals, but also be flexible at the same time.

Moreover, it should be customizable as per your target market and location. You can write such a plan in many ways.

Although there are several changing and fixed aspects of a real estate agent’s business plan, there are certain essential areas that should be included to write a good business plan.

They are as follows:

1. Executive Summary

The executive summary section sums up what your entire business idea stands for. It is a brief overview of all of your business’s functions, including finances, target audience, operations, marketing, sales, etc.

This section, if written properly, can help you get funded as it presents your idea to the investors in a precise way and helps you gain their confidence.

2. Company Summary

This section basically consists of all the information about your agency’s history, its current situation, the idea behind its existence, and also the finances and funding it requires for becoming profitable.

3. Products and Services

In this product and services section, you’ll define your niche. Having a niche in real estate helps you get a better knowledge of the market and better deals in return. It also helps you meet the right people and the right customers.

As a real estate agent, you can decide whether you’ll deal with office spaces, residential spaces, rentals or buying, selling, etc. Working with a specific set of customers most of the time helps you stay at the top of your game in the real estate market.

4. Market Analysis

A thorough and ongoing market analysis helps you know the market trends and your target audience better. It helps you stay updated with the demands of your customers and how you can fulfill them in the best way possible.

Not just that, it also helps you in knowing where you stand in the market when you need to change your business model with a changing market, and when you need to upskill to stay relevant as a real estate agent.

5. Strategy and implementation

After you are done analyzing the market, writing this section would be a cakewalk. As you are familiar with the market you can formulate the best strategy to thrive in it.

As a real estate agent, having a good advertising strategy, sales strategy, and essentially a good pricing strategy is of utmost importance.

6. Operations Plan

The operations plan section in your business plan includes the day-to-day functioning of your company, as well as your goals and strategies to achieve them.

It is an ever-changing section and has to be tweaked as per the demands of the industry. Breaking your goal down into smaller milestones in this section is an effective way of writing it.

7. Financial Plan

A financial plan decides whether your agency would succeed or not. It prevents you from having mismanaged finances, and a dearth of funds and also helps you in managing the cash inflow of your business.

Ultimate Guide: 11 Points to Writing a Real Estate Business Plan

Failing to plan is planning to fail. Your business plan is the GPS for success. Instead of wandering, push towards your goals and objectives with clear direction. Developing a real estate business plan is critical to forming a healthy and sustainable business. 

A real estate business plan is an important step for any real estate agent looking to build a successful career in the industry. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach, there are certain key elements that should be included in any plan. First and foremost, it is essential to set clear goals and objectives.

A study of 2,877 business owners found that companies are twice as likely to secure loans and funding if they have a business plan and 75% more likely to grow. Another study showed that 64% of companies who created a plan increased their businesses, compared to 43% of companies that hadn't yet finished a plan. 

Your own business plan is an essential tool for any business, small or large. Real estate agents use business plans to map their marketing strategies, target their advertising, and track their progress. A business plan helps agents set goals and stay on track throughout the year. It is also a valuable reference point when meeting with clients and potential investors. 

While there are many different ways to create a real estate business plan, certain elements should be included in every scenario. These elements include an overview of the business, the company's goals and objectives, a marketing strategy, and a financial analysis. By having these key components, companies can ensure that their real estate business plan is comprehensive and will help them achieve their desired results.

Harvard Business Review (HBR) stated that the chances of success rose by 12% for those that spent no longer than three months on their plan . With any longer proving futile. So, how do you write a business plan for your real estate business without getting bogged down in the details? In this post, we'll look at actionable steps agents and brokers can take to outline, execute and measure the performance of a business plan.

As a real estate agent, you know that the housing market can be unpredictable. You need to be prepared for the ups and downs of the market, and one way to do that is to have a business plan. Your business plan will help you set goals and track your progress. It will also force you to think about the costs of running your business and how you will generate leads. There are many online resources that can help you write a business plan, but the most important thing is to get started. By taking the time to write a plan, you will ensure that your business is ready for whatever the housing market throws your way.

What is a real estate business plan?

A business plan is a written document that captures the future of your business. It details what you plan and how you plan to do it.

Real estate business plans are essential for two reasons. First, they provide a road map for agents to follow as they work to build their businesses. Second, they force agents to think through all the crucial aspects of their business, such as their marketing efforts, target market, and financial goals. 

By taking the time to write a Real Estate Business Plan, agents can ensure that they are taking all the necessary steps to build a successful business.

A Real Estate Business Plan is an essential tool for any business, whether you are just starting or have been in business for years. There are many benefits to creating a Real Estate Business Plan, including: 

• Having a Real Estate Business Plan forces you to take a step back and assess your business as a whole. It allows you to see where your business stands, and identify any areas that need improvement.
• A Real Estate Business Plan provides a roadmap for your business. It can help you to set goals and track your progress over time.
• A Real Estate Business Plan can help secure your business funding. If you seek investment from Venture Capitalists or Banks, they will often require a copy of your business plan before considering your request.
• A Real Estate Business Plan can help you to attract and retain top talent. If you are looking to hire employees or contractors, having a well-crafted business plan can be a significant selling point.
• A Real Estate Business Plan can be a valuable tool for managing day-to-day operations. A clear and concise plan can help you better decide where to allocate resources and how to utilize your team's time and talents best.
• A Real Estate Business Plan can help you to measure and track your marketing efforts. By setting specific goals and objectives, you can more effectively gauge the success of your marketing campaigns and make necessary adjustments along the way.
• A Real Estate Business Plan can serve as a valuable sales tool. A professional business plan can give you a significant competitive advantage if you are looking to sell properties or convert leads into clients.
• A Real Estate Business Plan helps to keep you organized and on track. Trying to run a successful real estate business without a plan is like trying to drive from New York to Los Angeles without a map - chances are, you'll get lost along the way!

Having a Real Estate Business Plan gives you credibility in the eyes of others. If you are working with other professionals such as lenders, appraisers, or title companies, having a well-developed business plan shows that you are serious about your business and increases the likelihood that they will want to work with you in the future.

Last but not least, creating a Real Estate Business Plan is empowering! Taking the time to develop a comprehensive plan shows that you believe in yourself and your business and sets the foundation for long-term success.        

Precisely, it conveys your business goals, the strategies and tactics you'll use to achieve them, potential problems you may run into along the way and how to overcome them, roles and responsibilities, SWOT analysis, and measurement strategies.

What should a real estate business plan include?

Real estate business plans are different from traditional business plans. 

Real estate agents need to focus on their target market, their uniqueness, and how they will succeed against the competition. Real estate business plans should also include an analysis of the current market conditions and the potential for growth in the future. In addition, real estate agents should outline their marketing strategy and have a budget for advertising and promotions. By taking the time to create a comprehensive business plan, real estate agents can increase their chances of success in this competitive industry.

Real estate business plans vary in length and complexity, but all should include the following elements: 

• An overview of the real estate market 
• A description of the agent's target market 
• A marketing plan 
• A financial plan 
• A discussion of the agent's competitive advantages 

Real estate business plans provide a roadmap for agents to achieve their goals. They should include specific strategies for generating leads, marketing properties, and closing deals. The business plan should also outline the agent's budget and target income. Additionally, the real estate business plan should set forth a schedule for prospecting, listing appointments, and open houses. By following a real estate business plan, agents can increase their chances of success in real estate.

How do you assemble a real estate business plan?

A business plan is essential for any real estate business, whether you're just starting out or have been in the industry for years. It provides a roadmap for your business, laying out your goals and strategies for achieving them. But how do you go about assembling a business plan?

First, you'll need to identify your target market. Who are you trying to reach with your real estate business? Once you know your target market, you can start developing your marketing strategy. What methods will you use to get potential clients? How will you differentiate yourself from other real estate businesses in your area?

Next, you'll need to put together a financial plan. What are your revenue sources? How much money do you expect to bring in each month? What are your expenses? How much do you need to save for a rainy day? A clear financial picture will help you make sound decisions for your business.

Lastly, don't forget to include a personal development plan. What skills do you need to improve to succeed in the real estate business? What classes or training programs can you take to close more deals and earn more commissions? A well-rounded business plan will help ensure your real estate business is booming.

Writing a Real Estate Business Plan in 11 Easy Steps

1. write a detailed business description.

There's a story and context behind your business, and the business description is where that should shine. Write a brief overview of your Real Estate business. Include your business goals and how you plan on achieving them. Then create a description of your company, including its history, structure, and other relevant information.

The mission statement is part of the business description — which helps keep the rest on the track. Many mission statements follow a familiar format, like:

"To be the best, full-service Real Estate company in the Triangle and to enhance our quality of life through active community involvement.".

In a microstudy of 200 mission statements, it was found that mission statements most often talk about the company's dedication to customers (85%), shareholders (37%), employees (21%), and society (3%).

As well as a defined mission statement, make sure to include:

• When you were founded
• Where you are located
• Who the leaders are
• Special advantages/partnerships
• Market opportunities
• Legal structure

A very brief real estate business description example is:

"Norris & Company Real Estate is Vero Beach's premier upscale real estate firm. They specialize in luxury waterfront homes and condominiums, particularly in Vero Beach and Indian River County, FL."

2. Market Analysis

Research the Real Estate market in your area and identify any trends or opportunities. Include this information in your business plan.

Real estate agents must constantly be aware of the market conditions in their area to serve their clients best. Agents can provide expert guidance and advice by understanding the trends and opportunities.

When writing your Real Estate business plan, including a comprehensive analysis of the market conditions in your area. It will help you better understand your client's needs and identify potential opportunities.

Your market analysis should include:

• An overview of the Real Estate market in your area
• Identification of any trends or opportunities
• An explanation of how you will address these trends or options in your business plan

By including this information in your Real Estate business plan, you will be able to show potential clients that you are knowledgeable and prepared to help them navigate the Real Estate market.

3. Perform a SWOT Analysis

A SWOT analysis is a technique used to identify and define several key characteristics that will impact your business: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats.

Think of it this way:

Strengths and Weaknesses are internal. Threats and Opportunities are external.

An analysis can be as simple as making lists of items under each category.

For example, a strength could be a solid and experienced sales team, while a weakness might be that your business is expensive to run because you haven't nurtured supplier relations.

It could be as simple as filling four sheets of paper with descriptions of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats — collaboratively or alone. To make the answers clearer and the exercise more manageable, you can use questions like:

• What do our competitors do better than us? Threat .
• What's our unique selling point? Strength .
• Why have customers churned in the past? Weakness .
• Which markets are underserved in your territory? Opportunities .

4. List Your #1 SMART Goal

It's great to be ambitious, but focusing on one goal makes it easier to stay motivated, track progress, and see the measurable effect of achieving it. Even better if that goal is a SMART Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timed – goal.

Examples of SMART goals you might set for your growing real estate business are:

• Build a new real estate website in the next three months
• Hire and onboard three new SDRs in the next six months
• Increase monthly leads by 50% by next year
• Sell ten houses in the Dallas metro area in the next 30 days.

Pick one at a time and focus on it! Sticking to an achievable goal with a time limit makes it more likely to come to fruition. And, even just writing it down makes you 42% more likely to attain it.

5. Identify Your Market Niche

Before setting out your facts and figures, it's essential to spotlight your target market and how you'll serve this niche. It helps you decide what's realistic and feasible to achieve in your business plan.

Determining your market niche is a fancier way of saying: Who are your services best suited to? While honing in on a narrow target seems a little exclusionary, niche marketing can save you time, effort, and money on marketing.

One tool to help you define your market is a buyer persona. A persona is a fictional typification of your ideal customer, with information that enables you to steer your sales and marketing in the right direction.

It's essential to assess your niche and ensure it is consistent with the market in your area.

For example, if you've decided to focus on first-time buyers, do some research to look at relevant stats and figures:

• What percentage of sales in your market were to first-time buyers in the last 12–14 months?
• What was the average sales price to first-time buyers?

Also, assess how competitive this market is:

• Are you the only agent catering to the young first-timer?
• Are you competing with well-known heavy hitters?

A competitive SEO audit can be a helpful starting point in finding your competitors in the online space, where almost all leads will turn at some point in the buying process.

6. Implementation Plan

Before you can begin implementing your real estate business plan, you must clearly understand your goals and objectives. What are you trying to achieve with your business? Are you looking to buy and hold properties for long-term appreciation, or are you more interested in flipping houses for a quick profit? 

Once you have a good idea of your goals, you can start to put together a plan for how to achieve them. For example, if you're interested in buying and holding properties, you'll need to generate enough income from rentals to cover the mortgage and other expenses. If you're more interested in flipping properties, you'll need to find motivated sellers and then negotiate deals that provide you with a healthy profit margin. 

Regardless of your goals, careful planning is essential for success in the real estate business.

Breaking your goals into action steps makes them more tangible and ensures you're making strides to fulfill them. Here are some keys to converting your real estate business plan into actual business practices.

7. Monitoring & Evaluation

Successful real estate businesses have a plan to monitor and evaluate their progress. This plan includes setting clear goals, measuring progress against those goals, and making adjustments as needed. Without this proactive approach, it can be challenging to identify areas of improvement or stagnation. 

Additionally, a well-executed monitoring and evaluation plan can help to keep employees focused and on track. By regularly assessing performance and goal progress, businesses can ensure that they are making the most of their resources and achieving their desired results. Ultimately, a sound monitoring and evaluation plan are crucial for any real estate business that wants to stay ahead of the competition.

8. Risk Management

Real estate investing comes with a certain amount of risk. But with a well-thought-out risk management strategy, you can minimize the potential for loss and maximize your chances for success.

One of the most critical aspects of risk management is diversification. Investing in various property types in different markets spreads your risk and increases your chances of finding a profitable investment.

Another critical element of risk management has a solid business plan. Thoughtfully consider each step of the real estate investing process, from finding deals to financing them to managing the properties. Have a clear exit strategy for each investment to know when to sell or refinance. And always remember to stay within your comfort level; don't let greed or fear make decisions for you.

With careful planning and discipline, you can create a real estate investment portfolio that withstands market fluctuations and generates long-term wealth.

9. Financial Plan

Having a sound financial plan for your business is essential. To assist you, we've created spreadsheets you can use to estimate goals, income, and expenses. You will find specific instructions in the spreadsheets, but here are some guidelines for creating a financial plan:

To create your plan, determine what your expenses will be.

Here are three main areas your expenses may fall into:

• Licensing: These expenses will include training, state exam fees, etc.
• Personal: This can consist of your wardrobe, technology fees (like computer and phone), and car fees.
• Business: Business expenses include broker fees, website and MLS fees, marketing, advertising, etc.

Our template divides these expenses into the startup and yearly costs to help you discern which payments will recur and which are one-time-only. Here's an example of what your startup expenses might look like.

Yearly expenses might include recurring costs like office rent, electricity bills, and annual license fees.

Estimating income is the biggest concern for most new agents. To do this, you must decide how much money you need to make in your first year and how much you would like that figure to grow. You will also need to research some basic statistics for your market, like the average sale price for homes.

Use our business plan template to help calculate these numbers.

Transactions and Leads 

To meet your income goals and cover expenses, you'll need to conduct a certain number of transactions. And, to complete a certain number of transactions, you'll need to work a set number of leads. There's no need to work this figure out by hand. ‍

Our template will automatically calculate the number of transactions and leads you will probably need to meet your goals. Still, you will have to assess these figures to decide whether they are reasonable. For example, if you plan to work part-time as an agent in your first year but need to close 20 transactions to meet your goals, you are unlikely to have enough time.

10. Create a Personal Development Plan

A personal development plan is an essential tool for any real estate business. By taking the time to assess your strengths and weaknesses, set goals, and create a roadmap for success, you can ensure that your business is on track to reach its full potential. While it may seem daunting, creating a personal development plan is simple. 

Start by taking stock of your current situation. What are your strengths and weaknesses? What are your goals for the future? Once you clearly understand where you are starting, you can begin to map out a plan of action. Set realistic goals and create a timeline for achieving them. Put together a resources list and ensure you have everything you need to reach your goals. Finally, implement your plan and monitor your progress along the way.

Remember, your development plan should be flexible and adapt as your needs change over time. With some planning and effort, you can create a roadmap for success that will help you achieve your long-term goals in the real estate business.

11. Write an Executive Summary that Captures the Vision

Your executive summary is an anchor point you can use to understand the overall goals, cement the parameters of your target market, and make decisions aligned with your plan. It's also a way to get inspired by your original vision.

For real estate, it would include points on:

• Target neighborhoods and price ranges
• Target clients and a brief description of the persona
• Brief marketing plan overview
• Market threats and opportunities

Think of the executive summary as the section of your business plan you would explain to a friend a football game when asked how you plan to make money as an agent or broker in your local town/ city or state.

Note: due to the specific details in the executive summary, this part of the business is typically one of the last completed items.

Real Estate Business Plan Template

If you're considering starting a real estate business, you'll need to create a business plan template. Here's a basic template that you can use to get started. Remember that your business plan should be tailored to your specific business and industry.

• Executive Summary

The executive summary is a brief overview of your business plan. It should include your company's mission statement and an overview of your products or services, target market, and growth strategy.

• Company Description

This section will provide an overview of your company, including its history, structure, and team. Be sure to include information on your company culture and values.

• Mission statement

In this section, you will summarize the reason for being and the guiding principles of your organization. For example: "We are a nonprofit that provides free legal aid to those in need." You can also provide a brief overview of what we want them (the users) to come into contact with. 

Why should they care about our mission or message by telling them why it is vital to their lives now and later down the line?

• Company goals

This section will provide a high-level overview of your company's top business goals for its first years in operation.

• Market Analysis

In this section, you will need to analyze your target market thoroughly. It should include information on your customers, your competition, and the overall industry.

• Product or Service

In this section, you will need to describe your product or service. Be sure to include information on your pricing strategy and any unique features or benefits your product or service offers.

• Marketing and Sales Strategy

In this section, you will need to outline your marketing and sales strategy. It should include information on how you plan to generate leads and convert them into customers.

• Operational Plan

This section will need to provide an overview of your business operations. It should include your production process and distribution and fulfillment strategy.

This section will briefly describe what your company offers to customers.

• Target customer

To effectively reach the people we want as customers, you must provide a clear overview of who they are and how your product or service can benefit them. In this section, I'll go over some questions worth asking yourself when determining who your potential clients may be. 

• Best Practices

Write out your ideal practices for how you'll deal with qualified leads versus unqualified leads, how quickly you'll follow up with interested parties, your methods for helping a leader throughout the final steps of the sales process, and how you'll stay in touch with customers after papers have been signed.

• Financial Plan

In this section, you will need to provide detailed financial information for your business. It should include your income, balance, and cash flow statements. The following will include startup expenses, assets, liabilities, capital, break-even analysis, and loan repayment.

• Exit Strategy

This section will need to provide an overview of your exit strategy. It should include information on how you plan to sell or exit your business in the future.

Individual Agent Real Estate Business Plan

Real estate agents need a business plan like any other entrepreneur. A real estate business plan outlines your goals, strategies, and how you plan on achieving them. It is essential to have a business plan because it will help you stay focused and on track. Real estate is a competitive industry, so you need to be able to stand out from the rest.

A business plan will also be helpful if you ever need to seek funding for your business. Investors and lenders will want to see that you have a well-thought-out plan before they give you money. 

Creating a Real Estate Business Plan is essential if you want to build a successful career in real estate. With our easy-to-use template, you can get started today and be on your way to achieving your long-term goals.

There are many benefits to creating a Real Estate Business Plan, including:

• Clarifying your goals and strategies
• Mapping out a clear road map for your business
• Identifying potential obstacles and solutions

• Increasing your chances of success

So, if you are considering starting a real estate business, sit down and write a business plan. It will be worth it in the long run!

Real Estate Team Business Plan

Before you start your real estate team, it's essential to have a business plan in place. It will help you define your goals, map your strategies, and track your progress over time. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach to creating a business plan, certain key elements should be included. Here are a few of the most important things to keep in mind:

• Your team's mission statement: What sets your team apart from the competition? Why do you exist?
• Your target market: Who are you trying to reach with your services? What needs do they have that you can address?
• Your marketing strategy: How will you get your target market and communicate the benefits of working with your team?
• Your financial goals: How much revenue do you hope to generate? What are your expenses? How will you fund your business?

By thoughtfully developing your real estate team business plan, you'll increase your chances of success in an increasingly competitive industry.

Real Estate Brokerage Business Plan

A real estate brokerage business plan is a document that outlines the goals, strategies, and financial projections of a real estate brokerage business . It should include an executive summary, market analysis, business model, operational plan, and financial plan. The executive summary should briefly describe the company, its target market, and its competitive advantages. The market analysis should assess the size and growth potential of the target market. 

The business model should describe how the real estate brokerage plans to generate revenue. The operational plan should outline the business's day-to-day operations, including staffing and marketing initiatives. Finally, the financial plan should provide detailed information on the anticipated costs and revenues of the company. A well-crafted real estate brokerage business plan can be valuable for attracting investors and achieving long-term success.

Remember that your business plan is a living document that should be updated as your company grows and evolves. Regularly reviewing and revising your business plan ensures that your real estate brokerage is always moving in the right direction.

Ready. Set. Plan

Whether you've got a ready-to-execute business plan or it's still being drafted, the most important thing is to start now — and fast.

At its core, a real estate business plan should outline the steps necessary to achieve specific goals, such as increasing sales or expanding into new markets. It should also identify potential obstacles preventing the business from achieving its objectives. By taking the time to create a comprehensive business plan, real estate businesses can increase their chances of weathering storms and coming out on top in the long run.

A business plan puts you on a clear track that makes your business 75% more likely to grow.

By following the above points, you'll be well on writing a comprehensive Real Estate Business Plan.

Building a Solid Foundation: How to Create a Real Estate Business Plan That Works

A killer real estate business plan isn't just about setting a goal to hit 1 million in sales next year. (It would be a lot easier if it were!) 

A truly great real estate business plan defines exactly what drives your business, where you're headed, and how you'll navigate the market's unpredictable currents. It should be a razor-sharp action plan to scale your real estate empire. 

So, how do you craft this master blueprint without getting bogged down in the details? 

If you’re ready to join the cast of Million Dollar Listings—or if you just want to grow your modest real estate business—we can help.   

We’re going to break down how to create an actionable real estate business plan in just six steps. Your future self, with a thriving real estate portfolio, will thank you. 

What Should a Real Estate Business Plan Include?

A real estate business plan is a comprehensive document designed to help you navigate the ups and downs of the real estate industry and plan for long-term growth. 

TL:DR: A great business plan serves as a complete roadmap to help you get from where you are now to where you want to be. 

So, what should your real estate business plan include? The best plans include these eight sections: 

• Executive Summary: A concise introduction to your real estate venture. Highlight your primary goals, the niche you're targeting, and your unique value proposition in the real estate market.
• Business Description: Discuss the scope of your real estate operations—whether you're focusing on residential sales, commercial properties, rentals, or a mix. Also, mention the regions or neighborhoods you're targeting.
• Market Analysis: Delve into housing trends, regional property demand, and average property values in your selected areas. Study growth patterns and forecast potential shifts in the market.
• Marketing and Sales Strategies: Explain how you'll attract listings and buyers. This might include leveraging MLS, hosting open houses, using digital marketing tactics, or networking at community events.
• Service Offerings: Detail the range of services you plan to offer. This could include buying/selling, property management, consultation, or even staging homes for sale.
• Organizational Structure and Management: As a solo realtor, this might be about your role and responsibilities. If you have or plan to have a team or build a brokerage, describe team member roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
• Financial Projections and Strategy: Outline anticipated earnings from property sales or rentals, operational expenses, and commissions. Factor in marketing costs, licensing fees, and other industry-specific expenses.
• Growth Plan: Since real estate is as much about scaling and expansion as it is about individual sales, describe how you plan to grow—by expanding into new areas and niches, or by adding more agents to your team.

Keep in mind—these sections are suggested, not required. If some of these sections don’t make sense for your business, feel free to drop them. Maybe you want to add something else? If you’re not sure where the heck to start—that’s where this list comes in handy. 

Why Do I Need a Real Estate Business Plan?

Honestly—you don’t have to have a business plan. If you’re feeling good about your business and happy with your growth, feel free to click away. But, if you’re not closing as many deals as you’d like or if you’re just not feeling great about your business’s direction, you might want to stick around. 

In addition to increasing your sales, an effective business plan can help you: 

• Gain a Competitive Advantage : The world is full of real estate professionals. To succeed in this industry, you need an edge. A real estate business plan gives you an advantage in the market because so few competitors will create one. You'll know the exact steps to take to grow your business. Case in point: a well-crafted business plan can boost your chances of success by 12 percent .
• Mitigate Risk: Every new business venture is a risky proposition. Back in 1994, nobody thought Jeff Bezos could sell books online. Now, Amazon is one of the biggest companies in the world, and Mr. Bezos has a cool net worth in the $150 billion range. While your real estate business plan might not help you hit the billion-dollar range, it will help you mitigate risk by helping you identify potential threats and weaknesses.  
• Gain a Deeper Understanding of Analytics: Drowning in data? A great business plan will outline your goals and campaigns, and help you track the metrics that really matter. You can look at your plan in a year and assess your progress toward your goals, and adjust your approach accordingly. This will help you eliminate poor tactics or destructive behaviors and double down on what works for your business.

A business real estate plan also gives you something to celebrate. When you hit the milestones in your plan, reward yourself with a fancy dinner or pop open a bottle of champagne. Treat yo’self. Then get back to selling! 

6 Steps to Create an Effective Real Estate Business Plan Fast 

Now you know what your real estate business plan should include and why they matter. Cool. Now it's time to actually create that killer plan that will help your business grow. Ready? Follow these step-by-step instructions to create a proven plan of action you can use to grow your business.

1. Start With Your Story

Who are you as a real estate professional? Are you a master of landing the right deal? Love helping families find their forever home? 

All good business plans start with a story that explains who the individual or company in question is, what they do, and the business goals they want to achieve.

To accomplish this, make sure your business plan includes:

• An executive summary: A sentence or two that summarizes what your business does.

Example: "I sell homes to middle-income buyers in the greater Denver area."

• Your mission statement: A few sentences that explain why you do what you do.

Example: "At Smith Real Estate Group, we strive to provide our clients with amazing experiences they'll remember for the rest of their lives. Buying a home is a monumental responsibility. Our goal is to make the process simple, fun, and stress-free for our clients so they're delighted with their purchases."

• Your vision for your business: A couple of sentences that illustrate what the world will look like once you've achieved your mission. 

Example: "Eventually, I want to be the most trusted name in Boise real estate, effectively serving a range of clients who come to me to get the highest possible price for their homes."

• The SMART goals you want to achieve: The individual objectives you'll work to accomplish, i.e., "Sell 15 homes next year," or "Make $150,000 annual salary." Remember, the best goals are SMART, which stands for specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. 

Example: "I'll start making $150k a year (or more) within 36 months. To accomplish this, I'll invest in new marketing techniques to promote my services so I can sell 15+ homes every year."

2. Research Your Target Market

Which area of the real estate market do you specialize in? Do you sell high end luxury condos? Help businesses find the right place to expand? Maybe you’re all about helping folks find tiny homes. 

To answer this question, I suggest a fair bit of research—especially if you're brand new and don't have an established client base. Look for sections of the market that are growing and ones that are slowing down.

It's important to look at data for the location you’re serving . Nation-wide trends are useful to a point. But you really need to know what's happening in your corner of the world.

Also, research your city's other agents, brokerages, etc., as you'll compete with them for potential clients. The more you know about them, the easier it will be to differentiate yourself and achieve your short and long-term goals in the real estate industry.

3. Identify Your Ideal Clientele

Now it's time to zero in on the specific people you sell to.

There are plenty of options. You could be a condo specialist and only engage new leads who want to buy condos in your area. Or focus on real estate listings for new home buyers. Or work in the top end of the market and help wealthy individuals settle into their second homes. You do you. 

The specific demographic you choose to serve should depend on the local market, your unique skill set, and your passions. Find a balance between these three things.

When you know your ideal clientele, take a moment to define buyer personas .

Not familiar with the term? Don’t worry—it's not as weird as it sounds. A buyer persona is a fictional person you invent to represent your real-world target market. Feel free to get weird with it—your persona could be Fred the Family Man, or Suzy the Soup Maker. Just be sure to include personal details, such as goals and pain points to make it useful. 

While it may seem silly, a buyer persona keeps you focused on your ideal clientele so you can ensure your marketing efforts always match the people who want to help. 

4. Perform a SWOT Analysis

A SWOT analysis helps you pinpoint your strengths and weaknesses and find the opportunities and threats in your chosen real estate market. Think of it like a battle plan to help you conquer your real estate market. Here's a quick example:

• Strengths: Maybe you have amazing people skills, so you host open houses for your clients on a regular basis. This helps you meet potential buyers and sell clients' homes. It also acts as a terrific lead generation strategy . Or, maybe you’re really, really good at staging older homes. 
• Weaknesses: Maybe you hate social media, so you never use platforms like Facebook and Instagram—even though other agents use them to close deals . This would be a weakness, but it doesn’t mean you need to change things. Instead, acknowledge it and adjust your strategy accordingly. 
• Opportunities: If most of the real estate professionals in your town focus on low- to mid-priced real estate listings, you could target the small collection of luxury buyers in the area.
• Threats: Are there a ton of other real estate agents in your area? Maybe a nationwide brokerage is opening a new office and threatening to take your knees out with a bat. (Who knew real estate could be so brutal!) The point is: being aware of threats helps you target your services effectively so you can become a real player in the game. 

5. Set a Clear Marketing Strategy

You might run the best real estate brokerage in the United States. But if nobody knows about your real estate team's supreme skill set, you’re not likely to make many sales. Which won’t be an issue if you’re running a mob front—but if you actually want to make a profit, marketing is crucial. 

Fortunately, you've defined your target market, ideal clientele, and personal strengths and weaknesses. So, building an effective marketing strategy should be easy. 

Think about your target audience: how can you reach these people? Social media is probably your best bet if you serve young, first-time homebuyers. If you serve an older, more affluent crowd, in-person meetups and cold-calling techniques might be a good option.

Consider your competitors, too. What channels do they use to connect with new leads? Use another approach to differentiate your services better.

Finally, take a hard look at your abilities. Just because a marketing plan works for one person or company doesn't mean it will work for yours. Since you're building your business, you need to assess your strengths and weaknesses. This will help you implement strategies that suit your skills and disposition.  

6. Make a Financial Plan

Yes, we gotta talk about money. Adding financial details to your real estate business plan gives you a strong starting point to drive growth. 

How much will you spend on licensing, lead generation, and a real estate CRM ? Remember to budget for everyday expenses while working, like gasoline for your car and meals while traveling. (Just no two martini lunches!) 

You should also include the amount of money you want to make after expenses and taxes and the number of deals you'll need to close to make the numbers work together.

Most people shy away from their finances. Don’t make this mistake. You need to know what your operating expenses are to know what your cash flow is. If you don't know that, you won't know if you're on track to reach your short-term or long-term goals.

One more thing: make sure your financial plan is realistic . Dreaming of million-dollar closings might feel nice, but those numbers won't help you. Do your research and input proper cost estimates. 

3 Tips to Create a Real Estate Business Plan That’s Actually Useful 

BOOM! Now, you know how to create a business plan for your real estate business. Go you. But to make sure your plan is top-notch, keep these three best practices in mind:

KISS: Keep it Super Simple

It’s easy to get lost in the weeds and wind up overwhelmed. Don't overcomplicate the process.

Your real estate business plan doesn't need to be professionally designed unless it’s being shared with business partners or investors. You can write it in Word on your laptop computer. Or scribble it on a napkin while you sip a cocktail at the bar. Whatever feels good to you. 

The most important thing is that you actually create a plan for your real estate business . The way it looks is less crucial. Don't get caught up in the details. 

Differentiate Yourself

What makes you special? No, not just in the “My mom says I'm special!” way. Like, what really makes you stand out from the other real estate agents and brokers in your local area?

Ask yourself questions like " What can I do better than everybody else?", “Why would clients want to work with me over another agent?” or "What am I willing to do that my competitors aren't?"

Did you come up with a few things? Good, now add them to your real estate business plan.

Being average is boring—so figure out where you stand out. Then, infuse it into every aspect of your business, from your website to how you engage with clients. That way, people know what sets you apart.

Revisit Your Plan Regularly

One more thing: your real estate business plan should be a living document. In other words, you should revisit it regularly to make sure it's actually benefiting your business.

Did you choose the right market? Are you serving the right clientele? Is your marketing plan actually working? Assess your business quarterly to see what's working and what isn't. Then use the takeaways to adjust your approach. That way, you can “always be closing” more deals. 

Pro tip: when starting out, use a business plan template . This gives you a starting point and makes it easy to edit your plans at any point. 

Level Up Your Real Estate Business 

If you want to build a successful real estate business, you need a plan. Luckily, you’ve already got one. 

Once you create your plan, you'll have a clear vision you can implement systematically to grow your business faster.  

Know what else will help you succeed in this industry? A solid CRM software with proven contact management, cold calling, email marketing, and sales reporting features.

How to Write a Solid Real Estate Business Plan in 2024

March 13, 2024

If you want to grow your real estate business , then you’ll need to get clear on where you want to go and how you can get there.

Research from the Harvard Business Review indicates that entrepreneurs who create formal business plans are 16% more likely to achieve viability than those who don’t. Further studies also demonstrate that business planning can accelerate a firm’s growth by 30% , and the time invested in writing a business plan can significantly enhance the likelihood of success .

In this article, we’ll guide you through the critical elements of a strong real estate business plan, helping you create a unique strategy aligned with your company goals.

Why every agent and broker should have a real estate business plan

A real estate business plan acts as a strategic blueprint for an agent, team, or brokerage, mapping out key facets, critical milestones, company goals, and the business’s overall financial health. A plan needs a clear vision and roadmap for how the company will achieve its goals and grow within its specific market.

Additionally, general business plans are pivotal in securing capital and compelling potential investors or partners. A great business plan can attract skilled employees and top-level talent, leading to further expansion and growth.

For an agent or a broker, a real estate business plan is essential for determining your identity in the luxury market and what you can offer clients. It helps you hone in on your ideal customer and allows you to assess the financial viability of your business easily. 

Your real estate business plan is a guide to your goals and a clear-cut strategy for how you can stand out from the competition, grow your business, and fulfill your overarching mission.

Real estate business plans: the basics

When constructing your real estate business plan, it’s best to keep things simple, manageable, and achievable. Focus on where you are now, where you want to go, and how you can reasonably get there.

Here are six critical elements of a straightforward real estate business plan:

• Executive summary:  The executive summary serves as a brief overview of who you are, your purpose, and your goals.
• Overview and objectives:  The overview and objectives section can vary somewhat based on your individual needs, but they should include your mission statement, your history, and your objectives.
• Market opportunities and competitive analysis:  Your business plan should outline where market conditions are ideal for the rapid growth of a business and what your competition is already doing in that space.
• SWOT analysis:  SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats and is a useful analytical tool for determining your strategic position.
• Marketing plan:  The marketing plan identifies and details how you will reach and attract your target audience.
• Financial plan:  A financial plan is a fairly straightforward snapshot of the economic health of your business.

Most business plans adhere to a timeframe of three to five years, though some are as short as one year, others as long as seven. Although everything in this article provides recommendations for a three to five-year plan, it’s worth looking beyond five years for future growth opportunities.

Creating your own real estate business plan 

Now that you know the main sections of your real estate business plan, let’s dive into exactly what goes into each element. 

Executive summary

A good summary is typically one to two pages (although one is optimal) and should include the following:

• Description of services
• Summary of objectives
• Brief market and competition snapshot (you’ll dive deeper into this later in your business plan)
• Capital or partnership requirements, if applicable

Your executive summary is the one part of your business plan you can recite from memory. There’s no fluff. Consider this your elevator pitch to sell your vision and convince others to join you on your mission.

Overview and objectives

Mission statement.

Your mission statement is why you do what you do—the guiding principles for your business. 

For example, here are two excellent real estate company mission statements:

• Compass : Our mission is to help everyone find their place in the world. Compass is building the first modern real estate platform, pairing the industry’s top talent with technology to make the search and sell experience intelligent and seamless.
• Sotheby’s Realty : Built on centuries of tradition and dedicated to innovation, the Sotheby’s International Realty brand artfully unites connoisseurs of life with their aspirations through a deeply connected global network of exceptional people.

Your history is just that—when you started, location, leadership, milestones, and notable services or specializations.

Objectives are your primary goals. A common technique for establishing your goals is through the “SMART” method, ensuring your goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.

Objectives that might cover the course of a five-year plan include:

• Rebrand the company website in 30 days.
• Establish a social media presence in 90 days.
• Close five transactions per month in year one and double transaction volume by year three.
• Double the size of the firm by year five.

Ensure your goals are targeted and realistic within your set time frame. 

More likely than not, your business will have multiple objectives simultaneously. Group them based on category and designate a team member who will be responsible for managing achievements, setting milestones, and assessing progress.

Market opportunities and competitive analysis

Understanding your market and your competition involves taking stock of the landscape’s size, demographics, demands, and trends.

Market opportunities

When determining your market opportunities in your business plan, consider the following questions: 

• What is the size and stability of the market?
• Is the market currently on an upward or downward trajectory?
• What are the current demographics of the market?
• What segment of the market do I want to target? 
• Is there a demand for a particular type of housing? 
• Are there more sellers than buyers, or vice versa? 

Also, pinpoint specific market circumstances that could significantly impact your business, like interest rate trends or local economic development. Be sure to document these insights in your plan as well. 

Competitive analysis

In many business plans, competitive analysis is worthy of its own standalone section. Regardless of how you present it, devote some space to your competition and thoroughly research what they currently do in the real estate market.

Include both immediate and secondary competitors, and note if the market is primed for new competitors in the future. Also, identify the risks and opportunities when comparing your niche market and services versus others vying for similar business. 

Remember to ask yourself:

• What do I offer clients that the competition does not? 
• Can I stand out in this market and generate revenue?
• How can I advertise myself to showcase these differences?

SWOT analysis

Through its matrix-like formatting, you can use data-backed facts to analyze your team’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in a visual way. Here are some questions you can ask yourself for each section:

• Is your brand recognizable?
• Do you have an in-house expert for each specialization within residential or commercial real estate (or both)? 
• Do you have an active pipeline of new leads ? 
• What is your unique selling proposition (USP)?
• Do you lack consistent social media or online content? 
• Is your brand relatively new or unrecognizable ?
• Are you missing out on lead-generation opportunities?
• Is your website engagement lacking?

Opportunities

• Has your team just branched out to a new area of real estate? 
• Is market demand growing in your area? 
• Have you uncovered a new source of referrals ?
• Are there any new teams in your niche with a USP similar to yours?
• Are mortgage rates rising enough to slow down demand?

By uncovering factors in each grid of the SWOT analysis matrix, you can identify areas that need immediate attention or capitalize on specific strengths.

Marketing plan

Creating a marketing plan is an exercise in understanding your ideal client and then molding a campaign that ensures you can target those customers. Here are a few key points to outline in your marketing plan:

Demographics

• Consider your ideal client persona, including age, location, income, and profession.
• Consider what attracts this ideal client. What are they looking for in properties? What are they avoiding?
• What type of neighborhoods, amenities, or lifestyle are they seeking?

Marketing channels

• Which platforms are your ideal clients engaging with the most? Which ones do your competitors frequently utilize?

Along with these aspects, consider how to position yourself better than your competitors to attract this client. Think about the benefits you can offer and how you can showcase this with a smart real estate marketing campaign .

Financial plan

A financial framework is a crucial aspect of your real estate business plan since it provides insight into the economic health of your business. It gives you a better idea of the valuation of your business, acts as a guide for your budget, and helps you set more realistic financial goals.  

Here are the elements of a financial plan that should be included:

Profit and loss statement

• This is also called an income statement or pro forma. This shows a company’s profitability (or loss) over a certain length of time.

Cash flow statement

• This statement provides an overview of your actual cash position.

Balance sheet

• A balance sheet shows where you stand regarding assets, liabilities, and equity at a specific point in time.

Operating budget

• An operating budget is a detailed view of your income and expenses, usually over 12 months. 

Break-even analysis

• This outlines the revenues necessary to cover all costs and your business’s potential to be profitable. 

Depending on your real estate business position or if you’re an individual broker or agent, you can simplify this area with just an operating budget and break-even analysis.

4 common mistakes agents make when creating a real estate business plan

1. thinking the business plan needs to be perfect.

Your real estate business plan will not be built overnight. You can still run a successful company while your business plan is being created. Instead of waiting to make a “perfect” business plan, follow our step-by-step guide to get started. Then, you can modify as you learn more about your client, your competition, and the trends in the market. 

2. Not having someone else review your business plan

Like any other business document, having a second pair of eyes review your real estate business plan is always helpful for typos or mistakes and for any glaring questions or inconsistencies. Be open to feedback from people, both in the industry and outside it—if someone is confused by an aspect of your plan, chances are they won’t be the only one. 

3. Not using the business plan to gain more clients

While your plan is useful for an overview of your business and its goals, don’t forget to use it as a guiding tool. For example, once you make your marketing plan, you’ll have a stronger idea of your ideal customer. So, be sure to use that information to create more targeted outreach efforts. This includes:

• Adjusting your marketing and advertising budget
• Creating a more targeted marketing campaign, including website, social media, and email
• Determining how to nurture non-specific outreach efforts such as referrals , SEO , and open houses
• Developing a data analytic strategy—how will you measure your marketing success and make changes if necessary?

4. Not coming back to the business plan 

Your real estate business plan is not a one-and-done proposition or something to be written, tossed in a drawer, and forgotten. 

Make time to periodically reevaluate your progress and see where you stand in reaching your goals. Once every 90 days is a good rule of thumb, but review more or less frequently as you see fit. And if you start hitting those goals early, take the time to make new ones.

Lastly, don’t be afraid to pivot if something isn’t working. Goals can change, so return to your business plan and modify it as your company ebbs and flows.

10 Things Your Real Estate Business Plan Needs (FREE Template)

A real estate agent business plan is essential for success in today’s competitive market. It helps you set clear goals, define your vision, and outline the steps to achieve short-term and long-term objectives. As a real estate professional, having a well-crafted business plan can be the difference between being a top producer and struggling to make ends meet.

In your business plan, you’ll want to start by creating a vision statement that outlines the purpose of your real estate business and reflects your values. Setting firm goals will help you stay accountable and focused, allowing you to adapt to market changes or growth and remember that your business plan should be fluid and up-to-date to stay aligned with your ultimate objectives.

Your real estate agent business plan should be thorough, covering various aspects such as market analysis, organization structure, and marketing strategies. By having a comprehensive plan, you’ll be better equipped to navigate the challenges and seize the opportunities that come your way, ensuring your real estate business flourishes.

Understanding Your Target Market

Identifying your ideal client.

Understanding your target market is crucial to establish a successful real estate business plan. Begin by identifying your ideal client. Consider factors that may define your target clients, such as age, income level, family status, and property preferences. Reflect on your strengths as an agent and which clients you connect best with. This will help you focus your marketing efforts and create tailored strategies for your target audience.

Market Segmentation

Market segmentation divides your target market into smaller, more specific groups based on shared characteristics. In real estate, you can segment your market into categories such as:

• First-time homebuyers
• Empty nesters

By segmenting your market, you can tailor your services and communication strategies according to the unique needs of each group. This will lead to more effective marketing efforts and a better understanding of your potential clientele.

Analyzing Local Market Trends and Opportunities

Gather data on your local real estate market to identify trends and opportunities for your business. Analyze factors like:

• Market growth
• Market saturation
• Local property values
• Employment rates
• Infrastructure development
• Population demographics

By analyzing local market trends, you can identify areas with potential growth or areas that are becoming overly saturated. Use this information to adapt your services and expertise to market conditions, helping you stand out among competitors and position yourself as an expert in your niche.

Remember, a comprehensive understanding of your target market is essential for shaping your real estate agent business plan. By identifying your ideal clients, segmenting the market, and analyzing local market trends and opportunities, you’ll be better equipped to create tailored marketing strategies and make informed business decisions. This will ultimately contribute to the success and growth of your real estate business.

Lead Generation Strategies

Building an online presence.

To create a robust lead generation plan, build a strong online presence. A real estate agent must have a well-designed and user-friendly website to capture leads. Keep these factors in mind:

• Make sure your website reflects your branding and expertise
• Optimize your site for search engines to enhance its visibility in search results
• Include clear calls-to-action (CTAs), so potential clients can easily contact you
• Utilize high-quality images and videos to showcase properties
• Share helpful and informative content through a blog or resources section

You can also leverage social media channels to expand your reach and showcase your expertise in the industry. Focus on the platforms most relevant to your target audience and share valuable content related to real estate, local events, or home improvement tips.

Networking and Referrals

Building a strong professional network is essential for generating quality leads. Here are some strategies to boost your referral pipeline:

• Attend networking events, conferences, or workshops in your area. Engage with professionals in real estate or related industries
• Establish relationships with local businesses and community organizations
• Hold open houses or host educational seminars to engage potential clients in person
• Develop relationships with past clients and ensure you stay top of mind so they recommend you to their connections

Additionally, create a referral program that rewards clients and other referrers for sharing your services with their network. This will incentivize them to talk about you and help expand your reach.

Traditional Marketing Methods

Despite the increasing importance of digital marketing, traditional methods still have their place in generating leads for real estate agents:

• Send direct mail campaigns, like newsletters or postcards, to targeted neighborhoods, highlighting your strengths and successes
• Advertise in local print media, such as newspapers or specialized real estate publications
• List your services and properties in industry-specific directories, both online and offline
• Design and distribute eye-catching flyers, brochures, and business cards
• Participate in community events or sponsor local charities to enhance your company’s reputation and visibility

Make sure to keep track of the effectiveness of each lead generation method and evaluate their strengths and weaknesses. This will help refine and improve your overall marketing strategy and ensure you invest resources into the most productive channels.

Lead Conversion Techniques

Building rapport and trust.

To build rapport and trust, focus on the following:

• Be genuine and authentic with your prospects, showcasing your expertise and knowledge.
• Listen actively, taking the time to understand their concerns and needs.
• Display empathy towards their situation, offering tailored solutions for their specific problems.
• Stay engaged through the entire process, from the first interaction to closing.

Qualifying Leads

When it comes to qualifying leads:

• Ask open-ended questions to gauge their needs, timeline, and motivation for buying or selling
• Inquire about their financial situation and any potential barriers they may have
• Learn more about their preferred neighborhoods, housing type, and other preferences
• Prioritize leads based on their level of interest and readiness to move forward

Effective Communication and Follow-Up Strategies

For better communication and follow-up:

• Establish a consistent schedule for checking in on leads, such as every few days or weekly
• Personalize your communication, tailoring messages to each lead’s unique situation and preferences
• Practice active listening and respond thoughtfully to their questions or concerns
• Utilize several communication channels, including email, phone calls, text messages, and social media

Utilizing CRM Systems for Lead Management

Leveraging CRM systems can help you organize and optimize your lead management process:

• Track important lead information and interaction history in a centralized location
• Set reminders for follow-up tasks, appointments, or important milestones
• Analyze your leads’ behavior to understand their needs better and provide personalized service
• Create targeted marketing campaigns to engage your leads and nurture them toward conversion

By implementing these techniques and focusing on leads, marketing strategies, and communication, you’ll be well on your way to creating a thriving real estate agent business.

Closing Deals and Earning Commissions

Negotiation tactics.

When closing deals, it’s crucial to employ effective negotiation tactics to help both you and your client reach a favorable outcome. Some negotiation tactics include:

• Understanding the market: Know the local market trends and use this information when discussing price adjustments or concessions.
• Compromise: Find common ground and offer reasonable solutions to meet both parties’ needs.
• Leverage: Use your expertise in the real estate industry to highlight your client’s strengths and make convincing arguments.

Handling Objections and Overcoming Challenges

As a real estate agent, you’ll encounter objections and challenges in closing deals. To address them efficiently, consider the following points:

• Listen to the client’s concerns and empathize with their situation.
• Identify the objection: Determine the root cause of the objection and respond with a compelling solution.
• Maintain professionalism: Stay calm and composed, avoiding confrontational behavior.

Preparing and Presenting Offers

Presenting a well-prepared offer is vital to increasing the chances of closing a deal. Keep in mind:

• Research: Analyze comparable properties in the area to establish a competitive price for the offer.
• Documentation: Ensure that all necessary documents, such as pre-approval letters and proof of funds, are in order.
• Presentation: Employ clear and concise communication when presenting the offer, highlighting its benefits to the seller.

Managing the Transaction Process and Paperwork

Effectively managing the transaction process and paperwork helps keep the deal on track, which includes:

• Organization: Maintain an organized system for tracking important deadlines and required documents.
• Communication: Regularly update all parties involved in the transaction, ensuring they know the progress and address any concerns.
• Attention to detail: Ensure all forms, contracts, and other documents are accurate and complete.

By successfully closing deals, you’ll earn commissions based on your agreed split with your broker. For instance, if you close a deal worth $350,000 with a 6% commission rate, the gross commission income will be $21,000. If your commission split with your broker is 70/30, you’ll earn $14,700 while your broker receives $6,300. Utilizing the strategies discussed in this section will help you maximize your commission income and prove beneficial to your real estate business plan.

Client Retention and Building Repeat Business

Maintaining client relationships after closing.

Building lasting relationships with your clients is essential for repeat business and referrals. After closing a deal, continue to provide value by offering support with any post-closing issues, such as paperwork or maintenance concerns. Keep in touch with your clients and remember important milestones, such as anniversaries or birthdays. Show appreciation for their trust in you by sending thoughtful gifts or cards or simply checking in periodically.

Asking for Referrals and Testimonials

Word-of-mouth marketing is an incredibly powerful tool in the real estate industry. Encourage your satisfied clients to share their positive experiences with friends and family. To achieve this, be proactive in asking for testimonials and reviews, which you can later showcase on your website, social media, and other marketing materials. Here are some strategies to obtain them:

• Reach out via email or phone, and kindly request a testimonial or referral
• Provide a simple template to make it easy for clients to write a review
• Offer incentives, such as discounts on future services or gift cards, to show gratitude for their time and effort

Staying Top-of-Mind Through Regular Communication and Updates

Establish regular communication with your past clients to stay top-of-mind and generate repeat business. Keep them informed about the latest market trends, neighborhood developments, or listings that interest them. Here are some communication tactics you can employ:

• Send personalized monthly or quarterly e-newsletters
• Share relevant content, such as articles or videos, on your social media platforms
• Organize events, like client appreciation parties or educational seminars, to maintain connections and foster new ones

Maintaining client relationships, requesting referrals, and staying top-of-mind through regular updates will strengthen your real estate business with repeat clients and new prospects. Remember, satisfied customers are the key to long-term success in the real estate industry.

Measuring Success and Adjusting Your Strategies

Setting goals and key performance indicators (kpis).

To measure the success of your real estate agent business plan, start by setting SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound). These can serve as benchmarks for success and provide direction on areas to focus your efforts. Consider setting goals for various aspects of your business, such as sales volume, new client acquisition, and customer satisfaction.

In addition to your goals, establish key performance indicators (KPIs) to track your progress. KPIs are quantifiable metrics that help you evaluate the effectiveness of your strategies. Examples of KPIs for a real estate agent business plan include:

• Number of new leads generated per month
• The conversion rate of leads to clients
• Average days on market for properties
• Percentage of listings sold

Tracking and Analyzing Results

With your goals and KPIs established, continually collect and analyze data to track your progress. Regularly monitoring your results allows you to identify trends, spot potential problems, and evaluate the effectiveness of your marketing efforts. Some methods to track your data include:

• Using a CRM system to manage client relationships and interactions
• Employing analytics tools to evaluate the success of digital marketing campaigns
• Conducting a SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) to identify areas where you excel or need improvement

Pay close attention to competitor performance and market trends to better understand how your strategies compare and identify any gaps you may need to address.

Adapting and Optimizing Your Strategies Based on Data

Once you’ve gathered and analyzed your data, use insights to adapt and optimize your strategies. Make data-driven decisions to improve your marketing efforts, streamline processes, and better allocate resources. Some steps you can take include:

• Adjusting your marketing budget and tactics based on your marketing ROI
• Revisiting your goals and KPIs to ensure they still align with your overall business objectives
• Fine-tuning your pricing strategies or the type of properties you focus on to meet market demand better

Maintaining a proactive approach to adjusting your strategies will keep your business plan agile and responsive to the changing real estate market. This will go a long way in helping you achieve the success you envision for your real estate agent business.

Time Management and Organization

Prioritizing tasks and setting a daily schedule.

In your real estate agent business plan, it’s crucial to have a time management and organization strategy. Start by prioritizing tasks that align with your [business goals]. Break down tasks into daily, weekly, and monthly goals. Then, create a daily schedule following the block scheduling method:

• List your key tasks for the day.
• Assign specific time blocks for each task.
• Stick to the schedule and avoid multitasking.

You’ll notice increased productivity and improved time management with this approach.

Using Productivity Tools and Apps

Take advantage of productivity tools and apps to help you stay organized and manage your time efficiently. Some popular tools for real estate agents include:

• Calendars: Apps like Google Calendar or Outlook can help schedule appointments and manage deadlines.
• Task Managers: Utilize tools like Trello, Asana, or Todoist to manage your projects and collaborate with your team.
• Time Tracking: Apps such as Toggl or Harvest provide insights into your work habits, helping you identify areas for improvement.

Remember to limit the number of tools you use to avoid digital clutter and duplicate information.

Delegating and Outsourcing Tasks When Necessary

As a real estate agent, delegating and outsourcing non-core tasks is essential to focus on your primary responsibilities. Here are some tasks you can consider delegating:

Identify areas where your expertise may not be as strong or where your time can be better spent, and consider outsourcing those tasks to professionals. This approach will help you manage your workload and improve the quality of your services.

Ongoing Education and Professional Development

Staying up-to-date with industry trends and changes.

To stay competitive in the real estate market, you must keep up with industry trends and changes. By monitoring resources like the National Association of Realtors (NAR), California Association of Realtors (CAR), and multiple listing services (MLS), you can stay informed about the latest developments in your field. Set aside time to read industry publications, attend webinars, listen to podcasts, and follow industry-leading professionals on social media.

Pursuing Relevant Certifications and Designations

Continuing education is crucial for staying current in the fast-paced real estate industry. Pursue relevant certifications and designations to add credibility and value to your practice. Organizations like NAR and CAR offer various designations demonstrating your expertise and commitment to professionalism to clients and colleagues.

Examples of real estate certifications and designations include:

• Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR)
• Certified Residential Specialist (CRS)
• Green Designation (Green)
• Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES)

To obtain these certifications, you must complete specific coursework, pass exams, and maintain membership in the relevant organizations.

Participating in Networking and Learning Events

Engaging in networking and learning events within the real estate community can help you build relationships, share ideas, and learn from the experiences of others. Attend conferences, workshops, and local meetups relevant to your niche, region, or areas of interest. Not only will this enhance your industry knowledge and skills, but it can also be an opportunity to form valuable connections that will benefit your business growth.

In summary, staying up-to-date with industry trends, pursuing certifications and designations, and participating in networking events can help you maintain and develop your skills as a real estate professional. Committing to continuous learning and professional development is essential to ensure your long-term success in the real estate business.

A well-structured business plan is essential for success as a new real estate agent. With a solid plan, you can set your goals, identify your target market, and analyze your competition. A comprehensive business plan lets you plan your marketing strategies, map your operating expenses, and create revenue projections.

To get started, consider using a business plan template tailored to real estate agents’ needs. This will give you a framework to follow as you develop your plan.

Developing a business plan is just the first step in the process. You need to take action and implement your strategies to realize your goals and achieve success. Revise your plan regularly, adapting and updating it as needed. This will ensure you stay on track with your goals and remain competitive in the ever-changing real estate market.

As a new real estate agent, taking bold steps toward your objectives may feel intimidating. However, trust your plan, apply your outlined strategies, and stay persistent. Your dedication will pay off in the long run.

Starting a career in real estate can be challenging, but you don’t have to face the journey alone. There are numerous resources and support networks available to help new real estate agents excel:

• Professional networks : Join local real estate associations and online forums to connect with experienced agents, ask questions, and expand your knowledge.
• Mentors : Seek accomplished real estate agents who can offer guidance, share valuable experiences, and provide personalized advice.
• Training and education : Keep your skills fresh by attending workshops, participating in webinars, and pursuing continuing education courses relevant to your field.

By leveraging these resources and committing to your business plan, you are setting yourself up for a successful career in real estate. Don’t forget to celebrate your achievements along the way and take pride in your progress. Now is the time to take action; you will surely achieve your goals with determination and hard work.

Here are several real estate business plan samples created by Cayenne Consulting:

How to Create a Commercial Real Estate Business Plan

My step-by-step blueprint for success.

By Lee Muhl

Cayenne maintains a very active practice in real estate business plans – including funds and development plans for commercial, residential, and agricultural uses, along with many specialty projects aimed at mixed-use, live-work, hospitality, medical, entertainment centers, smart/sustainable developments, and others. Also created for our clients are detailed “ capital stacks ,” including debt, equity, “impact/cause funding” along with consideration of public investment, grants, and special tax opportunities.

Cayenne’s practice in real estate is broad, but commercial real estate (CRE) makes up a large portion of Cayenne’s real estate consulting services to developers, sponsors, owners, contractors, and vendors.

While each client project is unique and is accorded special consideration and treatment, there are some important issues that arise in many commercial real estate business plan projects.

This post will mention a few of the types of issues that owners, developers, sponsors, or other stakeholders in commercial real estate might take into consideration when you create a commercial real estate business plan.

Keep it Exciting, Simple, and Digestible

While any commercial real estate project will have many details, it’s important to create a compelling, simple, and understandable story.

Who is the audience for the business plan? Funders come in every shape and color. On the debt side, there are direct lenders, traditional banks, convertible debt lenders, etc. On the equity side, real estate investors range from family offices to angels, to angel funds, to private investors who may be HNW (high net worth) or to F&F (friends and family) investing from a self-directed IRA. Your business plan will differ depending on what types of funders are going to see it.

On that note, it’s always a good idea to include two things: (i) a simple Guidance and Disclaimer that the business plan is for funder/stakeholder information and not a securities offering; and (ii) a Glossary of commercial real estate terms which not only helps the reader, but reinforces the reader’s impression that the project’s team is expert in commercial real estate concepts. By way of example, while a funder might be very familiar with IRR (internal rate of return), he/she/it might not be as conversant with terms like CRA (Community Reinvestment Act), FAR/Bonus FAR (Floor Area Ratio/Bonus Floor Area Ratio), flex (multi-use) space, MSA/CSA (Metropolitan Statistical Area/Combined Statistical Area) or New Market Tax Credits. A good business plan helps educate the reader on these items.

Text, Deck, Financials, Artwork, or All?

A commercial real estate business plan can be scribbles on a napkin, 120 pages of text, a 10-slide deck, or a 50-slide beautifully illustrated digital presentation . For example, if the format you want is a presentation deck, it’s good to decide in advance approximately how long it should be, what type of content, and what type of visual look you desire. Should it be page after page of charts and colored shapes, or should it be a nice, illustrated presentation of your concept and market?

For sizable commercial real estate business projects, multiple documents may be needed, that can range from, and include one or all of, Financial Book, Market Study, Business Plan, Deck, FAQs (frequently asked questions), Term Sheets, LOIs (letters of intent), Plats, Renderings, GC (general contractor) bids, 3D imagery, and so on. Much of the time, the whole menu isn’t needed up-front, but many, or all, could come into play before the project reaches completion.

Bottom line, there isn’t a “one size fits all” in commercial real estate business plans. So, before you opt for a Do-It-Yourself template, it’s always good to take a hard look at the actual Scope of Work, identify your end goals, the detailed stages that your business plan and fundings may proceed through, and in what order.

What’s the Simple Story?

Whatever the project is, there should be a way to encapsulate it in one or two sentences.

The idea is not to dumb it down, but to be able to say simply to any funder or stakeholder – here is what it is. The right one sentence can then beckon an audience to longer discussions of the concept.

What’s The Opportunity in the Market?

One key goal is to present to a potential funder or stakeholder the fundamental issue of how valuable the concept can be.

Sometimes this is obvious. Sometimes it isn’t, or it won’t be to your audience, so you will need a clear statement of how much money your company stands to make out of the target market. Far too many entrepreneurs, plans, and providers opt for high-level online overviews that say things like “The 2021 global market in multi-use commercial real estate is $__ billion and CAGR (cumulative annual growth rate) of 21% is expected over the next 5 years.” Those are positive statistics, but they don’t say anything about your project’s potential.

Rather, the core issue to include in your plan is – how much of that global market are you going to grab with your business model? And then prove it with defendable numbers.

Another great addition is a section on “market drivers” which can include concepts such as reduced risk, effective land use, limited competition in the area, a captive tenant base, portfolio diversification, diversity of tenants (e.g., in a multi-use project that combines retail, hospitality, and housing), convenience, and demographic appeal.

Who’s the Visionary/Sponsor/Developer and Who’s on the Team?

One thing we see again and again is that, after all the numbers are crunched, the i’s dotted and the t’s crossed, a funding decision comes down to this: does your funding audience have confidence that you and your team will execute on your commercial real estate business plan? A great team, with a great track record, helps get you past this speedbump, and you should try to include fairly detailed bios of the team showing experience, time in the commercial real estate industry, former companies, former titles and responsibilities, and educational background.

Another plus in this part of the story is a tight, powerful listing of key goals that the team has already accomplished, and a projection of what the next several years will bring.

The Business Model

It’s easy to look at commercial real estate as a familiar concept without a lot of new ideas. But there are many special aspects that a specific project can point to, such as: (i) the market niche is hot at the moment; (ii) planned diversification across regions, cities, and neighborhoods, or (iii) that the project arose from the owner/developer’s “nine-point” project evaluation set of criteria that profile the area, amenities, transportation, funding benefits, target project size and typical time to completion, occupancy rates in the area, expected hold until stabilization, and liquidity solutions available for funders.

Innovations and Success Drivers in the Business Model

While real estate is one of the oldest industries in the world, it is constantly changing in exciting ways. If your project is a multi-family development, why is it different – and hopefully better – than the apartment complex across the street? What are the “success drivers”? Is it better-constructed, greener, smarter, more sustainable, technology-enhanced, more likely to hold value, better designed, more attractive, or in an area with public funding or tax benefits available, etc.? One concept that is increasingly dominant in commercial real estate business plans is presenting amenities. What special amenities separate your development from the rest of the neighborhood?

Another consideration is the huge upsurge in “cause-related,” “social benefit,” or “impact” investing. If your project is designed to provide some real social benefit , it is great to flag this for funders and stakeholders. It can also open up new funding opportunities with CRE investors/funders who are seeking, or are required to seek, social benefit in their portfolios.

What is the Funding Opportunity?

Your commercial real estate business plan should explain how much funding is needed, and in detail, what it will be used for – e.g., development, acquisition, construction, construction take-out, and limited-term senior debt.

In commercial real estate, a presentation of the capital stack is critical, and it is often quite detailed. For example, the project’s capital stack might involve a combination of senior secured debt, additional subordinate debt, and equity financing, as well as grants and tax credits, in accordance with local community development, economic development, and workforce development interests in the municipality, plus tax incentive programs related to Historical Structures, New Markets, Low Income Housing, Opportunity Zones, and Business Improvement Districts.

Building Your Commercial Real Estate Financial Model

While simplicity in telling the story is always important, your financial model could often present a laundry list of benefits. You might point to five to seven different ways that the funding model uses leverage; or you might point to abundant collateralization, or to regulatory benefits such as CRA ( Community Reinvestment Act ) portfolio points, or to tax benefits for investing in an Opportunity Zone , or to the simple point that commercial real estate is, traditionally, a very safe investment, that goes up with inflation and, as a hard asset, it will always maintain some level of value and worth.

For prospective stakeholders, projected yield, MOIC (multiple on invested cash), IRR, and any special liquidity solutions are great to mention. At the end of the day, one point can always be made – commercial real estate is the type of investment that is safer than most, can provide steady income, and offers special financial protections from property value, lease payments, and, often, government incentives.

If the plan is for a commercial real estate fund, it’s always good to identify the special nature and characteristics of the fund, e.g., the fund might be a closed-end, leveraged, managed distribution fund that will only invest in certain types of assets, with certain target capitalization rates (a measure of how risky commercial real estate investment is).

The Property

It’s always good to have a section in the Plan that speaks to the property, or to possible properties that may be selected. This can be exemplified with photos, maps, renderings, drawings, plats, descriptions of the property, amenities, and the locale – in short, a part of the Plan that brings the concept to life – a moment of punctuation that delivers a moment of “Wow, there it is, that’s where the project will be built.”

Competitive Differentiation

A key question is always “how do the project and the funding opportunity stand apart from other developers and profit-seekers that focus on similar property investments?”

What helps here is to identify why the developer/sponsor/owner has a plan for development that is innovative, data-driven, and fueled by ground-level experience.

Another concept that helps here is to identify strategies for enhancing the value in the property/project, or, if applicable, in the portfolio.

Writing Your Commercial Real Estate Business Plan

Now that you’ve thought through all these issues, get ready to craft your commercial real estate business plan that features all the essential sections including: the business plan’s Highlights (a powerful type of Executive Summary), Introduction, the Company, Management, the Market, the Property, the Funding Opportunity, the Financial Strategy, and how you are different from, and better prepared for success than, the Competition. The business plan samples above should prove helpful.

Frequently Asked Questions on Real Estate Business Plan

What is in the real estate business.

Real estate business refers to the activity of purchasing, selling, or renting out real estate, structures, or homes. A real estate transaction is when the rights to a piece of property or designated real estate are transferred from one party to another. For example, in a conveyance, one party is the seller(s) and the other party(s) are the buyer(s).

What is the business model of real estate?

Real estate includes property sales, rentals, and management. Real estate business models all seek profit.

Standard real estate business models are:

• Real estate agents : Real estate agents help homebuyers and sellers. They earn 3%–6% of the home's sale price.
• Property managers manage rentals . They collect rent, maintain the property, and market to tenants. Property managers charge 5% to 10% of the rent collected monthly.
• Real estate investors : Investors buy properties to profit. The properties can be rented or sold. Real estate investors can make money by buying properties at a low price and selling them at a higher price or buying properties that need repairs and fixing them up to sell. 
• Real estate developers : Real estate developers build new homes, apartments, and commercial buildings. These properties are usually built with bank loans—real estate developers profit by selling them.

Kamala Harris is going full YIMBY — and housing experts are optimistic

• Vice President Kamala Harris shared a plan to build 3 million new homes in her first policy speech.
• Housing experts told Business Insider that targeting America's housing supply shortage is critical.
• The experts were more lukewarm on some of the other housing proposals and want to see more details.

Vice President Kamala Harris' newest housing proposal is giving YIMBY — and that's great news for the housing market, where supply has been unable to keep pace with demand, forcing prices up and buyers out.

The Democratic presidential candidate revealed the first details of her new economic agenda on Friday, which she hopes to implement during her first 100 days in office. A key part of her proposal involves building 3 million new homes over a four-year period.

It slots neatly into the YIMBY movement , which stands for "Yes, In My BackYard," and is a pro-development movement focusing on increasing high-density and affordable housing supply by targeting barriers to new building. (It's a counter to the NIMBY, or "Not In My BackYard" movement.)

Harris said Friday that her administration plans to build 3 million units by working in partnership with workers and the private sector to go after obstacles in the way of new construction at both the state and local level.

"There's a serious housing shortage ," Harris said on Friday. "In many places, it's too difficult to build, and it's driving prices up. As president, I will work in partnership with industry to build the housing we need both to rent and to buy."

Housing policy experts say that's the most crucial aspect of her multi-pronged plan, because what the market needs most right now is greater supply .

Jung Hyun Choi, principal research associate at the Urban Institute's Housing Finance Policy Center, said the lack of supply "is the root cause of the current problem" with the housing market, adding that Harris' proposal to build more homes is "really the key solution of the housing market problem."

Four housing policy experts Business Insider talked to all agreed.

"The strongest aspect I see in this proposal is that it recognizes the key issues with housing right now and that it is very explicit on trying to improve the number of homes being built — and not just the number of homes but the number of affordable homes ," John Walsh, a research analyst at the Urban Institute's Housing Finance Policy Center, told Business Insider.

Homeownership is one of the most reliable ways to create stability in Americans' economic lives and should be a priority, according to Christopher Mayer, a professor of real estate at Columbia Business School who praised Harris' emphasis on supply.

Related stories

"I think most people should be homeowners," Mayer said, noting the falling homeownership rate among young people. "Owning a home is a proven way of building wealth. It creates stability for households."

Addressing the housing shortage

However, with the low supply of starter homes, those making the jump from renting to owning often have to contend with both high prices and steep mortgage rates.

America is facing a significant housing shortage, with the country between 4 and 7 million homes short, NPR reported in the spring of this year . Builders have cited supply chain issues, among other reasons building has stalled. Zoning also remains a large barrier to homes being built.

COVID-19 only exacerbated the issue, Mayer said, as more people started working remotely. With her proposal to build 3 million new starter homes, Harris is aiming to address that critical gap.

Harris' housing proposals expand on policies President Joe Biden has attempted to implement since taking office, including loosening regulations that restrict construction. Former President Donald Trump also urged states and cities to pursue some zoning reform while he was in office.

The vice president's plan to build millions of new housing units depends on several novel methods. She intends to provide the nation's first tax incentive for builders who construct starter homes and sell them to first-time buyers. Harris also intends to create a $40 billion federal fund to incentivize local housing construction, an expansion of Biden's proposed $20 billion fund . To top it off, she vowed to expand existing tax incentives for businesses that construct affordable rental housing.

"The answer is more supply, and also the answer is more supply at the sweet spot, which is first-time ownership," said Susan Wachter, a professor of real estate and finance at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

She thinks Harris' commitment to building 3 million homes is the strongest part of her plan, as it will address what she called a "generational crisis" of rent and housing prices. The increase in home supply needs to correspond with an increase in available land, Wachter added.

Part of Harris' proposed federal fund to encourage housing construction would make some federal lands eligible to be repurposed for new, affordable developments — something Trump recently promised to do as well.

Both Choi and Walsh were quick to caution that while Harris' proposal is a great start to alleviating housing burdens and reducing wealth disparity, more details are needed to determine its ultimate effectiveness.

"The devil is really in the detail of where these homes would actually be used," Walsh said.

Targeting down payments and Wall Street

Harris' other flagship proposals — offering $25,000 in down-payment assistance to new homeowners and preventing investors on Wall Street from buying up starter homes — drew more mixed reactions from the experts that spoke to Business Insider.

In Mayer's view, the down-payment policy is rooted in good intentions but may not be particularly cost-effective. Many first-time homeowners traditionally rely on their families for help with a downpayment, Mayer said, meaning lower-income buyers often don't have access to generational wealth, and the $25,000 could significantly help them. Yet, he would rather find ways to lower down payments across the board than distribute money as Harris is proposing.

Wachter, meanwhile, said she supports the effort to aid potential homeowners with their down payments but is not confident the proposal would garner broad political support.

While Wachter declined to comment on Harris' proposal to limit Wall Street's ability to buy single-family homes, Mayer is less enthusiastic about it.

"The vast amount of single-family rentals are not owned by people on Wall Street, they are owned by people who own small numbers of houses," he said of the plan. "Institutional investors bring efficiencies to management of that, and those efficiencies generally result in better opportunities for renters."

Despite lingering doubts about some aspects of Harris' proposal, the experts agreed that the basic premise of building more affordable, first-time homes is what the country needs.

"This would be a huge impact," Wachter said. "Right now, what's threatened is the ability to get onto that ladder to achieve housing security. And housing security where there are markets, where there are jobs, is the key issue for young Americans today."
