Thought I'd throw in my 2 cents since I also explored the real estate market in Canada:

Competition is tough here and I had a chat with a few real estate agents. Many of them told me it's a local market and that they get found through local ads or referrals from clients. Their websites are also suffering from bad SEO - one agent told me that there are other websites taking his properties and are ranked higher on Google than his own website.

The #1 thing real estate agents cared about the most, according to my discussions, was leads. The only thing that they wanted to pay me for was leads.

And as many other people said, real estate agents are busy people and may not have the time to build their own website. Their job is to sell houses and will gladly pay to have someone else set everything up for them - you might want to think about other stakeholders you can partner with (i.e. marketing consultants) that can help you onboard real estate agents.
