The Problem
International Buyers
Search Before They Call.

A Mexican business owner walks through River Oaks on a Tuesday afternoon between matches. He has been thinking about Houston real estate for two years. He pulls out his phone and searches "luxury homes Houston" or "casas de lujo Houston."

Google returns three results in the local map pack and a set of organic listings. The agents and brokerages in those positions get the inquiry. Everyone else does not exist to him in that moment.

40% Of high-income World Cup tourists actively explore real estate in host cities during the tournament. Houston's Latin American visitor demographic has been among the most active international buyer segments in the city's luxury market for decades.

International buyers move on different timelines than domestic buyers. They do not need 18 months to make a decision. A buyer who develops conviction during a five-day Houston visit and has the capital available can move to contract within weeks of returning home. The agent who was visible during that five-day window gets the transaction.

Almost no Houston luxury real estate agents are building their digital visibility specifically for this audience right now. The ones who do it in March will hold the Google positions in June.

01 / 03
Google Search & Maps
Full optimization of your Google Business Profile and website targeting the searches international buyers actually use — "luxury homes Houston," "River Oaks real estate," "waterfront homes Houston." Organic ranking positions in both Maps and search results capture buyers at their highest moment of intent.
Timeline 60–90 days to Top 3
Target Top 3 before June 12
02 / 03
Multilingual Positioning
Spanish and Portuguese search optimization for the Latin American buyer demographic that dominates Houston's World Cup visitor profile. "Casas de lujo Houston." "Imóveis de luxo Houston." "Bienes raíces River Oaks." These searches return almost no results from Houston agents today. You enter a completely open lane.

Device ID capture in the neighborhoods your buyers walk through — River Oaks, Memorial, the Galleria corridor, the Post Oak luxury hotel zone.

The Decision Cycle
Outlasts the Tournament.

Real estate purchase decisions from international buyers rarely close during the visit that triggered them. A Brazilian buyer who explores River Oaks in June may take four to six months to transact. The agent who stayed visible during that entire cycle — through retargeting ads that follow the buyer's device after they return home — wins the deal.

Device IDs captured during the World Cup window receive your listings and brand for 60 days. That coverage extends well past the tournament, maintaining visibility through the months-long decision cycle that international purchases typically follow.

This is why geofencing in the neighborhoods buyers walk through is the most valuable long-cycle asset in this system — not just for June, but for the transactions that close in September and October.

Who This Is For
The Right Fit.
The Wrong Fit.

We cap at 3 luxury real estate clients in Houston. Your results depend on us not working with your direct competitor.

✓ Right Fit
Agent or Brokerage With Luxury Inventory
You have active listings in the $1M+ range in River Oaks, Memorial, Tanglewood, or the Galleria corridor. The World Cup buyer demographic is already your target client — this system makes you visible to them during the exact window when they're in your market.
✓ Right Fit
Agent With Latin American Client History
If you've transacted with Brazilian, Mexican, or Colombian buyers before, you already know this demographic. The multilingual positioning we build amplifies your existing credibility with the exact buyer profile arriving in June. Spanish or Portuguese fluency is a significant advantage.
✗ Wrong Fit
Entry-Level or Suburban Market Focus
The World Cup tourist buyer demographic targets Houston's luxury market specifically. If your inventory and client base is primarily in the $300K–$600K range or in suburban markets outside the tourist concentration zone, this program is not built for your positioning.
✗ Wrong Fit
Expecting Immediate Transactions
International real estate transactions take time. This system builds visibility and audience during the tournament window — the transactions often close months later. If you need revenue in June specifically, real estate is not the highest-velocity World Cup vertical. If you're building for the longer cycle, this is the right play.
Get Started
One Commission
Covers Everything.
