Stop Copying Other Agents—How to Write Website Content That Sounds Like You

If you’re a real estate professional trying to build your brand online, here's the truth: generic content is killing your credibility.

Too many agents are copying the same templates, using filler bios, and slapping “top local agent” across their homepage—without saying what actually makes them different. If you want to stand out, get found online, and convert visitors into clients, your website copy needs to sound like you.

Let’s talk about how to do that—with clarity, confidence, and strategy.

💬 Why Generic Content Doesn’t Work

Search engines (and real people) can spot copy-and-paste content a mile away. Whether you're using a brokerage-provided website or a platform like Lofty, chances are you're sharing the same structure and words as dozens of other agents.

The result? You blend in.
You don’t sound trustworthy. You don’t sound real. And you definitely don’t sound memorable.

Your clients don’t just want someone who sells homes—they want to know who you are and why you’re the right fit.

🔑 Your Words Are Part of Your Brand

Your website design may grab their attention—but your words build trust.

That’s why I tell every client: don’t just design for beauty—write for connection.
Authentic copy shows your values, your style, and your approach to real estate.

📣 "People want to work with people—not just professionals. Your voice matters."

You don’t have to be a professional writer to get this right—but you do need to stop copying and start owning your message.

📝 Must-Have Pages That Deserve Better Copy

If you’re going to invest in any copywriting on your website, focus on these four essential pages:

1. About Page

This is one of the most visited pages on any real estate site. Skip the corporate-speak and write like you're talking to a potential client face-to-face.
✨ Talk about your background, your mission, and what drives your work.

2. Neighborhoods / Communities Page

Here’s your chance to stand out with hyper-local expertise. Don’t just list facts—share insights only a local expert would know. Help buyers feel the vibe of each area.

3. Listings Page

Each property should have more than just bullet points. Use compelling descriptions that create emotion and invite action.

4. Blog

Your blog isn’t just for SEO—it’s a way to educate, connect, and show your voice. Whether it’s “Moving to [Your City]” or “Why I Love Helping First-Time Buyers,” use your real stories and advice.

✍️ How to Write in Your Voice

Not sure how to sound like you online? Here’s a simple guide:

• Record yourself talking about why you love real estate—then transcribe it.

• Think of your ideal client and write like you’re speaking directly to them.

• Use “I” and “you” language to make it conversational.

• Avoid overly formal phrases like “our firm provides…” unless that’s truly your brand.

And if writing’s not your thing? No problem.

🧠 Tips for Building Trust Through Storytelling

People remember stories, not sales pitches. Here’s how to tell yours:

• Share why you became a Realtor and what lights you up about the work

• Include a real client success story (with permission!)

• Talk about what it’s like to live in your area—not just market stats

• Show behind-the-scenes moments or what it’s like to work with you

These small insights build connection—and connection builds conversions.

💡 Bonus: Work With a Designer Who Understands Real Estate

When your web designer knows how to merge design + messaging, magic happens.
Your content should align visually and emotionally with your brand—not just look good, but sound real.
