FAQ

Playbooks common questions

What is real estate marketing automation?

Real estate marketing automation is the use of software to automatically create, deliver, and publish marketing materials for property listings — including social media posts, emails, flyers, postcards, and open house promotions — without agents or staff producing each one manually. The best tools connect to your MLS, detect new listings and status changes, and turn each event into a complete, branded campaign delivered to the right agent.

What are listing marketing Playbooks?

Playbooks are Xara Cloud's listing marketing automation system that automatically generates, delivers, and walks agents through executing branded marketing campaigns for every MLS listing. Each Playbook covers a different listing event (Just Listed, Open House, Price Reduction, Just Sold, Under Contract, Coming Soon) and turns it into ready-to-publish social posts, emails, and print materials.

Why do brokerages need real estate marketing automation?

Brokerages need marketing automation because agents spend up to 2 hours a day on marketing tasks that pull them away from closing deals, and most listings are inconsistently promoted as a result. Marketing automation removes the design and admin work, ensures every listing is promoted, and keeps marketing on-brand across the whole brokerage.

What's the difference between real estate marketing software and real estate marketing automation?

Real estate marketing software helps an agent produce marketing assets when they sit down to do it; real estate marketing automation produces and delivers those assets without anyone sitting down to do it. Playbooks is automation — when a new listing or status change is detected in the MLS, the campaign is created and emailed to the agent without a request.

How does Playbooks work?

Playbooks works by connecting to your brokerage's MLS, detecting new listings or status changes (Just Listed, Open House, Price Reduction, Under Contract, Just Sold), and automatically generating a branded marketing campaign tailored to each agent for that event.

Can Playbooks personalize materials per agent?
