Mastering YouTube Ads for Real Estate with Dustin Fox: Build Authority, Attract Clients, and Dominate Your Market
YouTube isn’t just another platform — it’s a high-conversion engine for Realtors® ready to grow their presence and attract the right clients. In this high-impact session, Dustin Fox of Fox Homes broke down the strategies that helped his team grow from $79M to $221M in just three years — without working harder, just smarter.
Dustin shared how to use hyper-local YouTube ads to get thousands of eyes on your listings, build trust with sellers, and position yourself as the go-to expert in your market. He also suggested setting precise ad locations (even down to a one-mile radius), creating videos that are authentic and memorable, and leveraging tools like SEO and Google reviews to boost your reach. From food truck open houses to unique selling propositions, Dustin offered helpful tips for attracting clients, building authority, and growing your brand.
The key takeaway? Strategic investment pays off. Whether it’s your time, energy, or creativity, committing to consistent practice and learning how to use YouTube effectively can transform your business. It’s not about going viral — it’s about staying visible to the right people, over time.

Social Media Marketing with Steve Black, Founder, AI & Social Media Success Series
Steve Black delivered a high-energy session focused on helping real estate professionals sharpen their personal brand, level up their marketing, and stay focused on what matters most: results.
Attendees learned how to use AI tools like ChatGPT to save time, generate listing content, and streamline their day-to-day tasks. Steve also walked through real-world social media strategies for Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube, showing how to turn clicks into clients and how to position yourself as the real estate subject matter expert in 2025.
Steve’s most important advice: Don’t overthink it, just start. Success on social media and in your business comes from consistent action, not perfection. Clean up your digital presence, stay focused on your goals, and commit to showing up. Whether it’s polishing your Facebook business page, posting engaging Instagram content, or using a content calendar to stay on track, the strategy only works if you do. And it all starts with mindset: Don’t make excuses and prioritize your personal and professional success — every day.
