Positioning and a new website for a Philadelphia real estate brokerage

Houwzer is a brokerage in Philadelphia that pays its agents a salary and lowers the commission a seller pays. The company needed a clearer story and a website that could explain the model in seconds. Kingzitech worked on the project alongside Brolik.

The solution

One story, told everywhere

Houwzer’s model was its advantage, but only if people understood it. The positioning, the website and the campaigns were built around the same clear story, so a seller who saw an ad, read a guide or landed on the site heard the same reason to choose Houwzer.

Audience and message

Research into who Houwzer serves and why its model is fairer for sellers.

Website

The business model told as a simple visual story, with routes for buyers and sellers.

Campaigns

Marketing around the moments people move, and referrals from friends and family.

Neighbourhood guides

A series planned to bring buyers in early through search.

How it works together

Positioning

Messaging rebuilt around a fairer deal for sellers.

Website

The model explained in seconds, for buyers and for sellers.

Marketing and guides that bring people to the site.

The full story

The brief

Houwzer works differently from a traditional brokerage, and people visiting the site did not grasp how. The company wanted sharper positioning and a marketing base it could grow on.

What the project covered

  • Audience and message. Research into who Houwzer serves, and messaging rebuilt around what makes its model fairer for sellers.
  • A website that explains the model. The business model told as a simple visual story, with clear routes for buyers and for sellers.
  • Campaigns around moving moments. Marketing aimed at the points in life when people move, and at referrals from friends and family.
