The property marketing problem

New homes sell on belief. Most property marketing fails to build it.

Buyers making the largest financial decision of their lives need to believe in a property before it exists. Generic CGI, template branding and brochure-PDF marketing are not enough. DCTR builds the creative foundations that turn a development or estate agency into something buyers and vendors trust from the first impression.

Our new homes marketing looks the same as every other developer.

Generic visualisation and template branding is immediately recognisable as commodity marketing. DCTR challenges the status quo with creative that makes developments look fresh, human and worth believing in.

We have great properties but our marketing does not do them justice.

A CGI that does not capture the scale, light and feel of a home, or a website that buries key information under generic copy, is leaving sales on the table. DCTR's work starts from how buyers actually experience property marketing.

Our development website is static and not generating leads.

Kerb is DCTR's headless, mobile-first platform built for showcasing unbuilt developments. It turns CGIs, plans and stories into interactive, trackable experiences that generate buyer engagement and enquiry data.

Our estate agency brand does not stand out in a competitive local market.

Estate agents operating in competitive local markets with undifferentiated brands lose instructions to competitors who have invested in their visual identity. DCTR works with estate agents who want a brand that earns the instruction before the valuation starts.

How DCTR works for your development or estate agency

DCTR works across the full creative scope - from the brand and CGI that launches a development to the digital platform that converts visitors into buyers.

What is Kerb?
Kerb is DCTR's headless, mobile-first platform built for new homes marketing.

DCTR produces high-end photorealistic CGI stills for brochures, portals and hoardings, as well as CGI animation, people-populated lifestyle renders and aerial visualisations. Output formats cover all digital and print applications.
Can you handle the full launch marketing process?
