New offering helps real estate organizations support agents at scale with email, automation, AI, integrations, education, and multi-account marketing tools.
SAN DIEGO, July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today at Inman Connect, Constant Contact announced Constant Contact for Real Estate, a solution built around how the industry actually operates rather than another standalone tool for individual agents. Brokerages and franchises can scale agent productivity while protecting brand consistency across their organization. Associations and MLSs can offer members a high-impact marketing benefit that drives engagement, supports continuing education, and strengthens retention. And agents get direct access to AI-powered content creation, automation, and marketing tools that plug into the platforms they already rely on.
The move reflects a broader shift in real estate technology toward connected ecosystems that reduce complexity while letting professionals keep using the tools they already know.
The investment was reinforced by Constant Contact's State of Real Estate Marketing research, which reinforced what the industry has long understood: relationships remain the foundation of real estate. The research found that 86% of an agent's business comes from their existing database and sphere of influence—evidence that long-term relationship marketing continues to outperform transactional marketing, and that professionals increasingly prefer connected technology ecosystems over isolated tools.
"Real estate has always been a relationship business, and that hasn't changed in the AI era—if anything, it matters more," said Jim Mandala, Vice President of Strategic Verticals at Constant Contact. "We made a deliberate, company-wide decision to build for how this industry actually works. Marketing should be the thread that connects the technology real estate professionals already rely on, and that's exactly what we set out to deliver."
Built around how the industry operates
Over the past two years, a cross-functional initiative spanning Product, Engineering, UX, Partnerships, Customer Success, Marketing, Sales, and Executive Leadership reshaped the Constant Contact experience for real estate. Constant Contact for Real Estate includes:
- Supports brokerage, franchise, team, and agent account structures
- Helps organizations manage brand consistency, templates, education, and adoption
- Connects with real estate CRMs, design tools, MLS/content platforms, and other workflows
- Uses AI to help real estate professionals create and automate marketing faster
- Gives individual agents access to enterprise-grade marketing tools, AI, and automation without having to piece together separate platforms
"Over the past two years, we've worked across product, engineering, partnerships, and customer success to build an experience that reflects the real structure of this industry—from associations and MLSs to brokerages, franchises, teams, and individual agents," said Stephanie Alfonso, Senior Director of Vertical Innovation at Constant Contact. "The research kept pointing us back to one truth: relationships drive this business. Everything we built starts there."
Alfonso will expand on these findings during her panel session at Inman Connect on July 29.
