Here's the Problem

Every lead source you've ever paid for has the same ending.

You buy a batch of leads. So do four other loan officers. By the time you dial, the borrower has already been called six times and the good ones are gone. Aged leads, shared leads, "exclusive" leads that somehow aren't. You've run this experiment enough times to know how it ends.

And when you try to get your agents to generate their own? You hear the same thing every time: "I love the idea, but I can barely post on Instagram, let alone run Facebook ads." So the idea dies, and you're back to buying strangers.

Now Imagine the Opposite

You never buy another shared lead, because your agents generate their own, on their ad dollars, and every lead lands in your pipeline too.

The agent does almost nothing. You become the person who quietly made their phone ring. That's the relationship no rate sheet can buy. That's what Walled Garden was built to give you.

Real story · Michigan

One ad. Two wins.

Sean, a loan officer in Michigan, launched a Facebook & Instagram listing ad on Walled Garden for his agent partner Jerry's new listing.

Jerry got a buyer from the ad. Jerry sent the buyer to Sean for the loan. The text message on the right is exactly how it played out.

How It Works

Why your agents actually say yes.

This is the part that makes lenders lean in, because the agent has to do almost nothing.

  1. 01

    Agent connects in 60 seconds

    The agent adds you as an admin on their Facebook Page and puts a card on file. That's the entire lift on their side.

  2. 02

    You launch from your dashboard

    The AI Creative Studio pulls the listing photos, writes the ad copy, and builds the creative. You approve and go live.

  3. 03

    Their spend, your leads

    The agent's card on file covers their own ad spend. The campaign runs, and every lead routes back to you to follow up.

Your agents never see Ads Manager. They never write a headline, design a graphic, or set up a Meta Business account. You run the machine, they just say "go." Because it asks almost nothing of them, they actually do it, and every campaign you run for an agent ties them one notch tighter to you.

Built by Smart Software

Ad creative, ad copy, and lead gen campaigns your agents launch in minutes.

Your agents do not need a designer, copywriter, or Ads Manager certification. The platform builds the campaign from the listing details, writes the copy, and publishes the ad. Here are real campaign types their agents run:

Just Listed Facebook ad creative
Just Listed campaigns turn new listings into buyer leads before the first open house.
Homes Under $600k Facebook ad creative
Price-focused ads collect buyers actively shopping in a specific range.
Cash Offer Facebook ad creative
Cash offer funnels attract sellers who want speed and certainty.
Open House Facebook ad creative
Open House ads pre-register attendees and build a retargeting audience.
New Construction Facebook ad creative
New construction ads target move-up buyers and relocation traffic.
Home Value Facebook ad creative
Home value campaigns generate seller leads with a free estimate offer.
Price Reduced Facebook ad creative
Price reduced ads re-engage the market and create urgency.
100% Financing Facebook ad creative
Mortgage-specific offers connect buyers directly with your loan programs.

AI writes the ad copy

Headlines, body text, and calls to action are generated from the property details and tuned for Meta's special ad category rules.

Pre-built lead forms

Instant Forms are auto-populated with the campaign details so leads submit with one tap, no landing page build required.

One-click launch

Review the creative, set the budget, and publish. The agent's card on file covers the spend.

"But Is This RESPA-Compliant?"

The whole platform is built around it.

You pay a flat monthly subscription for your own marketing infrastructure, not tied to referral volume, closings, or any business outcome. Your partners pay for their own ad spend with their own card on file, even though you're the one running the campaigns. Separate billing, separate cards, no co-mingled funds, nobody floating anyone else's budget. Nothing of value changes hands, and every charge is logged with timestamps and party attribution for an audit-ready trail.

Special Ad Category (Housing)

Every campaign is automatically flagged. No Fair Housing surprises on Meta.

Approved templates

Every ad uses templates with required disclosures built in.

Brand governance

You keep control over everything that goes out under your name.

The Three Questions We Hear on Every Demo

Answered.

Am I giving you access to my personal social media?

No. Walled Garden only needs admin access to the specific Facebook Pages you connect for advertising. We never touch your personal profile, never post anything, and the access is scoped only to what you connect.

How fast can I be live?

Most lenders are up and running within a day or two of onboarding, after a one-on-one setup session with our co-founder.

Do I have to start with a whole team?

No. There's a lower Solo tier if you want to run ads just for yourself first, then move up to the Branded Platform when you're ready to bring agents on.

You're Not Risking Anything to Find Out

Because it's month-to-month with no contract, you're never locked in. If it's not producing, you stop. And you don't have to sell your agents on it alone. We'll get on a call and walk a few of your partners through the platform with you, so everyone can weigh in and get their first campaign live together.

But remember that number we started with. Roughly one in ten of your agents is ready to move right now. Every month you wait is a month someone else shows up in their inbox with something shiny, and gets the loyalty that could have been yours. The agents are there. The tool is ready. The only variable is whether you're the lender who hands it to them first.

Straight Answers

The questions every lender asks before saying yes.

Lead ownership, who runs the ads, launch timeline, what you need from the agent, and how the money moves without stepping on RESPA. No fine print.

The agent owns the leads. Every lead from an agent-partner campaign is delivered to the agent in real time, and you get first look for the loan as their preferred lender. You are never the advertiser of record on a listing ad, which is what keeps the arrangement clean under RESPA and Meta's Special Ad Category rules.

Ours. Walled Garden runs every campaign through our own $100M+ Meta ad infrastructure under Special Ad Category for housing. Your agents do not need a Business Manager, a Facebook page connection, or a personal ad account. There is nothing to set up on their end other than a credit card for their own ad spend.

First campaign live in under a week from your walkthrough. Day 1 is a 15-minute onboarding call. Day 2 to 3 we brand the platform to your logo and subdomain. Day 4 to 7 your first agent partner logs in, picks a listing or lead type, and launches. Most agents launch their first ad in under 10 minutes once they are in.

A name, an email, a headshot, their brokerage disclosures, and a credit card for their own ad budget. That is it. No creative, no copywriting, no Meta account, no pixel setup. The AI Creative Studio generates the ad, the lead form is pre-built, and the destination page is auto-generated.

You pay a fixed monthly software fee to Walled Garden for infrastructure available to any agent you invite. You are not paying for a specific agent's ads, not co-marketing on a listing, and not receiving anything of value tied to referrals. Each agent pays their own ad spend on their own card, and every listing ad is run under the agent's brokerage identity, not yours. This is infrastructure, not co-marketing.

The agent. Always. Their card is on file inside the platform and Meta bills them directly for their own campaigns. Your $497 per month covers the branded software only. This separation is the whole point and it is enforced in the billing layer, not just the policy.

They lose access to your branded platform the moment you remove them from your dashboard. Their leads, campaigns, and history stop the day they are off. You keep the platform, the branding, and every other agent seat.

Yes. Your dashboard shows every agent seat, whether they have launched, how many campaigns are live, spend to date on their card, and lead volume. You know exactly who is active and who needs a nudge.

Month-to-month. No contract, no setup fee, no cancellation fee. If it is not producing you stop.
Here's What to Do Next

Book a 15-minute walkthrough, or start today.

We'll get your platform live, run your first campaign together, and put you in front of your agents as the one who made it happen.

P.S.

Remember the core of the whole thing: you run the ads, your agent's card on file covers the spend, and every lead comes back to you. You're not buying leads anymore, you're building a machine that makes them, on someone else's ad budget. Month-to-month, no contract. Book your walkthrough and see it live.

P.P.S.

Still weighing it? Get on the call and bring two or three of your agent partners. We'll launch a real campaign with you on the spot, and you'll watch a lead come in before you've decided anything.
