The studio

The studio

Five years inside the real estate business.

Corner Lot Studio is a design studio in Vancouver that does personal branding and marketing for real estate agents. Before the studio had a name, we spent more than five years making this work for some of Vancouver's busiest teams: brochures on deadline, launch campaigns that had to be right the first time, the weekly report a seller reads. We know what a listing needs on the day it goes live because we have made it hundreds of times. The work is fast because we built our own tooling for the production side. Nothing leaves the studio we would not put our own name on.

The rules

Every piece is compliant real estate marketing.

Real estate advertising has rules from your regulator, your board and your brokerage, and you do not have to explain any of them to us. Before we design, we look up your brokerage's licensed name, your licence details and your team registration. From there, every piece carries your brokerage identification sized to be read, your corporation or team name written correctly, and nothing a managing broker would bounce. If a tagline you love is a trademark problem, we say so before it is printed.

Refer an agent. When they sign, your next piece is 30% off, on any launch or per-listing piece. The brand kit is the one exception.

Questions,
answered plainly.

Working with us

How fast is a Listing Launch?

Everything digital sent before noon PT is back the same business day. In after noon, it is first out the next morning. Printed brochures follow within two business days of your files coming back, because paper has to physically exist.

Does Premium hold the same-day promise?

Yes, for everything digital, staging and decluttering included, deadline unchanged. The twenty-five printed brochures jump the print queue too and arrive within one business day of your files coming back.

What if I send you three listings in one week?

Send them. The promise is per piece: in by noon, back that day. If a genuine crunch ever threatens a deadline, you hear from us before noon. Premium orders always go first.

How is the work back the same day?

We built our own tooling for the production work, and that is why a listing sent before noon comes back the same business day. If an error is ours, we fix it the same day, no matter the hour.

What do you need from me to start?

Less than you would think, and always by email. A listing takes your photos and either the MLS sheet or a link to the listing. A CMA takes the address, the comparables you want to run with, and your price guidance. Staging takes the photos and a note on which rooms. A brand kit takes whatever you already have and a call.

Do you post to my Instagram for me?

Not by default. Every piece arrives sized for its placement and ready to post, and you or your assistant put it up, so the account stays yours and the voice stays yours. If you would rather hand it over, ask. Managed posting and paid ad production are available by arrangement.

Where do you work?

Anywhere, for anything digital. Most of our clients are in Metro Vancouver, but a brand kit or a launch lands in your inbox wherever you work. Print travels too. Brochures are delivered in Metro Vancouver and couriered everywhere else; only the courier time changes.

Your brand

What exactly is a brand kit?

It is your look, written down so you can use it for your marketing and your client-facing communication. Your logo, your colours, your type, and the rules that hold them together, delivered as a guidelines PDF you own. Every piece we make for you after that comes from it and looks like it.

I don't have a brand. Can I still order a launch?

Yes. Order a Listing Launch and we set up a starter look first: your logo or your brokerage's mark, one typeface, one colour treatment, kept on file. Every order you place wears it. When you want a brand of your own, Brand Refresh or Full Identity replaces the starter look, and every order after wears that instead. The same is true on any monthly plan.

How do revisions work?

Every listing piece includes one revision pass. Brand kits include more, because a brand is decided with you and that takes rounds. If something is off on our side, a typo or a colour that sits wrong, we fix it the same day with no meter running.

What do I get to keep?

Your brand, and everything we make with it. Yours forever, to use however you like.

Will my marketing look like every other agent's?

No. Everything is built on your brand, never on a template pack, so two Corner Lot Studio clients never look alike.

Print, photos and staging

Is the brochure printed, or a file?

Printed. Every Listing Launch includes twenty-five card-stock copies, delivered within two business days of your files coming back in Metro Vancouver, couriered beyond it. Prefer the file? The digital launch is $169 and ships the same brochure print-ready. Need more paper later? 25 printed brochures is on the menu at $119.

Is anything in the photos made up?

No. We furnish an empty room, and it ships labelled as staging. We do not add a fireplace you do not have, move a wall, or put a view outside a window that looks at a parking lot. Nothing goes into your marketing that is not in your home.

Is virtual staging allowed?

Yes, and it is standard. What matters is that it is disclosed. Every photo we stage ships with a label on the image and the original file alongside it. We furnish empty rooms: sofas, tables, art, light. Nothing structural moves. Where your board has its own rules on staged photos, we work to those.

Rules and your brokerage

Will this pass my brokerage?

That is the right question, and you do not have to answer it. We look up your brokerage, your licence and your team registration before we design anything. Your brokerage's full name goes on every piece as it is licensed, sized to be read. A corporation or a registered team goes on correctly too. If a tagline you love is a trademark problem, we say so before it is printed. We pull your brokerage's published brand guidelines and design to them.

Who writes the listing copy?

We do, unless you would rather. Every line is read before it ships against one rule: describe the property, never the buyer. Wording that reads as a preference about who should live somewhere is a problem in every market, and it is easy to write by accident at speed.
