The real estate and insurance worlds are deeply intertwined. But for many insurance agents, the struggle lies in building consistent, meaningful relationships with local realtors that lead to warm referrals. Cold calls are exhausting, door knocking feels outdated, and waiting for luck just isn’t scalable.
So, what is the answer?
Referral marketing. More specifically, targeted B2B marketing for agents who want to become the go-to insurance partner for real estate professionals in their area.
At RECAMP, we understand the pain points you face in building sustainable pipelines. This guide will walk you through everything you need to market to realtors effectively with proven pitch decks, marketing scripts, and even partner offers. If you’re an insurance agent ready to grow your referral funnel, you’re in the right place.
Why Should Insurance Agents Market to Realtors?
Real estate agents are in a unique position of influence. They guide buyers through one of the most significant financial decisions of their lives-buying a home. And every home purchase needs insurance.
When an agent refers to you as a trusted partner, the conversion rate skyrockets. But that referral didn’t happen by chance. It’s earned through value-driven outreach and relationship nurturing.
Here are some key benefits of marketing to realtors:
- Built-in trust: Referrals carry more weight than ads or cold outreach.
- Repeat business: Realtors close multiple deals each year, each needing insurance.
- Stronger local presence: Realtors are community connectors-partnering with them increases your visibility.
- Higher retention: Customers referred to through relationships tend to stay longer.
What Are the Challenges in Insurance Agent Marketing to Realtors?
Before diving into strategies, it’s important to recognize the common roadblocks:
- Generic pitches that get ignored
- Lack of personalized materials like agent flyer templates
- No consistent follow-up process
- Misalignment of goals between agents and realtors
- No compelling offer for the realtor or their client
- Inability to become a trusted referral partner to Realtors
- Insurance agents are typically at the tail end of the process and usually the last one to know that house was sold, and needs insurance.
Realtors don’t want to hear from just another insurance agent. They want a partner who understands their workflow and adds value without adding friction.
This is where RECAMP, steps in to equip agents with the tools to make those connections easier and more profitable.

1. Build a Solid Plan on how you can help them build their business.
You need to develop your plan based on being able to help them build their business:
- What makes you different than other agents in your area, or even company.
- How your agency can help the realtor build their business
