What metric should I mention to a Real Estate Marketing Manager?

Lead with days on market, showing-to-offer rate, and listing conversion. That's the language this buyer already reports. If you can't connect your email to leads that go cold between showing and offer because nobody followed up like a human, you're asking them to do the translation work. They won't.

Should I explain why the mistake happened?

After you own it, and only if the explanation helps them trust the fix. Lead with the miss and the repair. A long origin story in paragraph one sounds like you're defending yourself. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.

How do I email a marketing manager without sounding like another vendor?

Broad compliments about their brand get filed with the other 40 vendor emails. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.

What subject line works for Real Estate apology emails (replied then went silent)?

Name the situation and the business object, not your excitement. Something like "Real Estate note on leads that go cold between showing" outperforms "Just checking in" because a marketing manager can decide from the preview text whether it's worth opening. Keep it under 50 characters when you can.
