## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Realtor & Real Estate Agent Lead Scraper

Find real estate agencies, brokers, property managers, and related businesses on Google Maps. Collect public business names, addresses, phones, websites, available emails, and social links. A result is a business listing, not a guaranteed individual agent or personal email.

### Quick start

Choose a business type and location. Test 3–10 results before scaling. Use Full output to inspect verification evidence. HubSpot and Salesforce layouts are convenient exports, but your CRM may require field mapping or custom properties.

### Pricing

The configured events are **$0.01 per 1,000 base business leads**, **$20 per 1,000 SMTP-confirmed email leads** ($0.02 extra for each qualifying record), and **$0.01 per Actor-start event**. Apify charges one start event per GB of memory, minimum one; at 4 GB this is $0.04. Platform usage is charged separately. The live Pricing tab is authoritative and may show plan discounts.

| Example | Base event | Confirmed-email event | Start at 4 GB | Platform usage |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---|
| 100 leads, no SMTP-confirmed email | $0.001 | $0 | $0.04 | Extra |
| 100 leads, 20 SMTP-confirmed emails | $0.001 | $0.40 | $0.04 | Extra |

These examples do not predict email coverage. A base result can have no email; the premium event is charged only when an address is SMTP-confirmed under the rule below. Platform usage may still apply to a run that produces no results.

### Email evidence

DNS MX records confirm domain mail routing, not an individual mailbox. `emailVerified: true` requires SMTP to accept the address and reject a random recipient. A catch-all server, SMTP timeout, connection failure, or temporary DNS error remains unconfirmed. SMTP acceptance is evidence at check time, not a delivery guarantee. Full output includes `emailDomainHasMx`, `emailVerificationStatus`, notes, and all extracted addresses. No emails are sent by verification.

### Search and output

The actor searches Google Maps for the chosen business type and location. Custom queries use searchQuery. maxResults sets the search cap; enrichEmails, verifyEmails, and enrichSocials control optional enrichment. Results require at least two of address, phone, and website. Coverage varies with Google Maps and public business sites.

A confirmed no-match search returns an `OUTPUT_SUMMARY` record with `no_matches`. Source blocks and extraction failures fail the run, so check the log before retrying. Start small and set an Apify run cost and timeout limit for bulk searches.

For support, open an issue with a fresh run link, input settings, expected result, and observed result. Keep credentials and private customer data out of public issues.

# Actor input Schema

## `businessType` (type: `string`):

Select the type of real estate professional to target. The actor builds the Google Maps query automatically — e.g., 'Real Estate Agent' searches for 'Real Estate Agents in \[location]', 'Real Estate Broker' finds broker offices and brokerage firms, and 'Property Manager' returns property management companies. Choose 'Custom' to write your own query for niche searches like 'luxury real estate agents' or 'commercial real estate brokers'.

## `location` (type: `string`):

The city, state, or region to search. Use 'City, ST' format for best results (e.g., 'Austin, TX' or 'Denver, CO'). You can also enter ZIP codes ('90210'), neighborhoods ('South Beach, Miami'), metro areas ('Dallas-Fort Worth'), or any geographic phrase Google Maps recognizes. Each location search returns up to ~120 realtor and broker listings.

## `searchQuery` (type: `string`):

A raw Google Maps search query — only used when Business Type is 'Custom'. Write it exactly as you would type it into Google Maps. Examples: 'luxury real estate agents in Beverly Hills, CA', 'commercial real estate brokers in Chicago, IL', 'real estate attorneys in Manhattan, NY', 'property management companies in Houston, TX'. Ignored when a named Business Type is selected.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

The maximum number of leads to collect and return. The prefill is set to 3 for a quick test run — increase to 50–200 for production use. Google Maps typically returns up to 120 results per search query; use a smaller number first to verify data quality before scaling up.

## `enrichEmails` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, the actor visits each agent or broker's website and scans contact pages, footers, and about pages for email addresses. This is what transforms raw Google Maps listings into a usable realtor email list. Disable only if you need phone numbers and addresses without website crawling.

## `verifyEmails` (type: `boolean`):

Attempt DNS MX and SMTP checks on extracted addresses. MX confirms the domain only. emailVerified is true only when SMTP accepts the recipient and rejects a random address; blocked or inconclusive checks stay unverified. Delivery is not guaranteed.

## `enrichSocials` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, the actor extracts social media profiles (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X) from each agent or broker's website. Useful for LinkedIn outreach to realtors, Facebook ads targeting property professionals, or multi-channel ABM campaigns.

## `outputFormat` (type: `string`):

Controls the structure of the output dataset. 'Full' returns all available fields. 'HubSpot Import' reformats the data to match HubSpot's CSV import column names for direct upload. 'Salesforce Import' reformats for Salesforce data import. All formats are available in Apify's dataset export (CSV, JSON, Excel).

## `proxyUrl` (type: `string`):

Optional HTTP proxy URL for using third-party residential proxies instead of Apify's built-in proxies. Format: http://username:password@host:port. Compatible with IPRoyal, Smartproxy, Bright Data, and other rotating proxy services. Leave empty to use Apify's default residential proxies.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
