Property searches pull in agents in training, renters, portal users and mortgage shoppers. Which of them to block depends on what your agency does; this list starts with the clear cases.

Why these searches cost you
Real estate keywords are broad: the same words describe selling a home, renting one, financing one and studying to sell them. Each segment pays differently, and only some are yours.
Add rentals as negatives too if your agency only sells, and the other way round.
Words to check before you block them
These look like waste on most accounts. On some of yours they may be customers, so read your search terms before adding them.
- valuation, house price
- Owners thinking of selling. Often the best leads an agent gets.
- rent
- Block only if you do not manage rentals.
- commercial
- Block only if you do not handle commercial property.
How to use the list
Add the list to a shared negative keyword list and attach it to every Search, Shopping and Performance Max campaign. Phrase match is a safe default for single words.
Negatives do not match close variants, so the generator adds the plurals. Never add a negative for a search that has converted in the last year.
Then read your own search terms every week at first. A starting list catches the common cases; your report shows the ones that are yours.
Questions, answered.

What negative keywords should a real estate agent use?
Licensing and courses, listing portals, mortgage searches and other meanings like games and stocks, plus rentals or sales if you do not handle them. Keep valuation searches.
Should agents block portal names?
Usually yes: people searching a portal by name want that site. Test if you want to appear as an alternative.
