For real estate agents
Win listings, not likes.
Appraisal ads, just-sold posts, vendor guides: Tony checks every Facebook and Instagram ad at 7am and tells you which ones bring leads worth paying for, and which ones only bring curious neighbours.
Flick a switch once you’ve turned that ad off.
Example account. Yours uses your own numbers.
Why it matters
The cheapest leads on Facebook. Not the best.
Real estate gets some of the cheapest leads on Facebook, which makes it easy to fill a CRM with people who were never selling.

Your morning with Tony, in 20 seconds.
The check, your numbers, every ad with its call, and the alert when something goes wrong.
Calculator
What you’d keep each year.
Set your own numbers: what you spend on ads, what you pay an agency (slide it to zero if you run them yourself), the share you think goes to ads that never bring a listing, and your average listing.
An example using the numbers you choose, not a promise. Your free audit works out the real waste from your own ads.
Agency or Tony
You pay an agency for its time. How much of it is in your account?
Lead gen services for agents can cost thousands a month. Here’s what a retainer typically buys, next to Tony.
Plenty of agencies do good work. If yours does, the check below will say so.
Check your agency
Six questions. Thirty seconds.
Answer honestly. Nobody sees this but you.
Does someone look at your ads every single day?
Could you name, right now, the ad that brought your last paying listing?
Do their reports show cost per listing, not just reach, clicks and leads?
Are you locked into a minimum contract?
Does their fee go up when your ad spend goes up?
If an ad started wasting money this morning, would you hear about it today?
Questions
Before you start
Listings take months. Can Tony wait for that?
Yes. Each week you tell Tony how many leads listed, and it keeps a running close rate, so long sales cycles still count.
Can I use it for my own ads, not the office’s?
Yes, as long as you can see the ad account in Meta.
Will it change my ads?
Never. Tony is read-only. It tells you what to do and why; you make the change in Ads Manager, in about ten minutes a morning.
What does it cost after the free audit?
Tony Pro is A$99 a month, the same price whether you spend a little or a lot on ads. Monthly, no contract, with a 7-day free trial.
