Struggling to stand out in a crowded real estate market? You’re not alone. Maybe you’ve tried whipping up a quick logo in Canva or asking ChatGPT for marketing ideas.

But there’s a better way to develop your brand—quickly and confidently.

The real estate personal branding workbook gives you a structured brief you can hand to a designer or AI.

Dayne’s Strategic Process Proven Across Industries
Strategic clarity that captures the process behind many successful agent personal brands.
“I worked with Dayne Smith across several phases of my business journey. Initially, he supported us with creative materials—brochures, book layouts, and marketing collateral for seminars and events. What stood out even then was his ability to think beyond design—he approached every project with a quiet strategic discipline that brought clarity to our communications.
Though I engaged Dayne primarily for execution, he instinctively worked in alignment with brand principles, long before branding became a formal conversation in the industry. When I later restructured and refined our brand direction, I returned to him to help translate that shift across our content.
His work is thoughtful, efficient, and always aligned with the bigger picture. I recommend Dayne to any founder seeking strategic clarity before they enter the marketing phase.”
— Peter Gilchrist, Mentor & Author
A real estate agent’s personal branding guide — practical, focused, and built for when you need to move fast and make it count
What You’ll Get from the Real Estate Personal Branding Workbook.
If you’re being coached to define your personal brand — or you’ve reached a point in your real estate career where standing out is essential — this workbook gives you a clear, structured way to shape your professional identity. It’s designed to help you visualise your message, define your direction, and turn your thinking into a ready-to-use framework for building a real brand presence.
Create Your Personal Brand: A Real Estate Agent’s Workbook is designed specifically for agents who need to get their thinking sorted quickly — often under time pressure, with confidentiality in mind. It’s not about theory or design lingo. It’s about helping you get to a sharp, usable brand direction you can act on — or hand over to a designer, digital tool, or assistant to bring to life.
This guide gives you everything you need to build a clear personal brand that reflects your goals, speaks to your market, and holds up whether you’re using Canva, ChatGPT, or a local printer as the brief. It’s the thinking and structure behind a professional brand — designed for real agents in the real world.
This workbook is for working agents — not designers, marketers, or branding consultants. If you’ve ever had to brief a designer, struggled to explain your look and message, or needed to make a sharp move with your own personal business brand — this book gives you the structure to do it quickly and clearly.
Written by Dayne Smith of Flying Lizard — a branding and design practitioner with over 30 years of experience — it captures the exact process used to help real agents build their brands from the ground up.
