This and…

“This and…” works because it pulls people straight into a dreamstate. Two words are all it takes for them to picture a life they want: morning coffee in the sunroom, golden‑hour dinners on the deck, a run through the park. It’s not about selling a feature; it’s about letting them feel it.

That’s why this viral hook stops the scroll. It’s simple, fast, and ridiculously flexible, perfect for highlighting a listing, showcasing a neighborhood, or sharing a lifestyle moment. Below, you’ll find a list of ready‑made hooks to spark ideas, or use them as inspiration to create your own. Pair one with a short clip or photo, and you’re inviting people into a feeling they’ll want to step into.

IG Poll: Stuck?

The data says it all: many buyers aren’t stuck because they’ve lost interest—they’re stuck because they’re not sure what to do next.

Cotality’s latest research found that only 7% described the buying process as straightforward. The rest hit moments of doubt, kept questions to themselves, and moved forward without full clarity. Sometimes they didn’t know who to ask. Sometimes they felt they should already know.

That’s why this poll works. It gives buyers a low‑pressure way to say, “Yep, I’m unsure.” And once they do, you have an open door to guide them—turning uncertainty into momentum, and curiosity into conversations.

Lead Activation Text

Every season gives you a reason to reach out to your clients. The shift into fall is one of the easiest—and most natural—times to do it.

This isn’t about pushing a listing or forcing a market update. It’s about opening a conversation. A quick, personal check‑in that reminds people you’re there, you’re paying attention, and you’re ready to help if real estate is on their mind.

This simple text does exactly that. It’s short, casual, and easy for anyone to respond to. Send it now, and you’ll spark conversations that you might not have otherwise.

How to avoid buyer’s remorse

The housing market runs on speed. But buyers? They run on timing.

That’s the gap we uncovered digging into Cotality’s latest research on “Who (really) owns the homebuyer?” The process is faster than ever: instant alerts, same‑day offers, mounting competition, but most buyers say they still feel overwhelmed. Readiness hasn’t caught up with market velocity.

And here’s the problem: most agents respond by pushing harder. More urgency. More “act now.” That may get an offer written, but it doesn’t build trust.

This campaign flips that script. It positions you as the agent who slows the process down just enough for buyers to feel informed, prepared, and confident. That’s how you stand apart—and how you turn first‑time conversations into long‑term clients.

IG Poll: A deal that’s hard to find in [City]

You already know the power of Deal of the Week. This version is built for Stories.

We start with the hook, then layer in the details, then highlight the features that make this one stand out. Only after the curiosity builds do you invite them to raise their hand. In recent tests, that structure alone delivered 6x more engagement.

The hook itself? We pulled it from one of the 1,200 top‑performing Instagram posts we track at Listing Leads, and built the rest so you can execute fast.

Not sure which listing to feature?

Start here:

  • Filter for new listings (within the last 7 days)
  • Focus on your target price point
  • Stay in your ideal neighborhood or farm area

That should give you a pool of 50–70 listings.

From there, zero in on the one with the highest saves or views—that’s the listing with heat behind it.

Use this format to test urgency, stay visible with buyers, and stay top of mind.

Compare Options: The Anti-Gimmick Approach

Words can develop a reputation.

And the "Cash Offer" has been abused.

We all know that it can be a viable option for a specific type of consumer, but it can feel predatory when it's pitched a certain way.

So, we've developed a new campaign. 

It's the anti-gimmick approach.

Here's why it works:

1. The front of the card grabs attention

2. The language takes the pressure off the consumer and puts you on the same side of the table

3. It includes social proof to prove that you're great at your job

4. It ends with a direct response CTA

Days On Market Emoji Postcard

S/O to Jeremy Davis from Palm Agent.

If you haven't downloaded their app, they have a killer feature that allows you to calculate the holding cost based on the sales price.

If a home is on the market for 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, 120 days—how much does it actually cost the consumer to have their property sit on the market?

Let's say, for example, that a $725,000 home is on the market for 90 days. The holding costs could be upwards of $19,000-20,000.

Most sellers wouldn't know that. In their mind, what's the big deal if it's 7 days or 45 days?

It matters because it could literally cost them thousands of dollars in equity they've earned.

This campaign is a great opportunity for you to communicate why your ability to sell a home quickly actually matters to the consumer.

Plus, it'll stand out in the mailbox.

5 Signs You're Ready to Sell

Show me that you know me.

You've probably heard this phrase before. Good marketing builds credibility with your prospect by showing them that you understand them.

This strategy is an opportunity to get inside the mind of your prospect, include local data or market trends, and speak to the most common reasons why they might consider selling now.

You might be surprised to see how well your message resonates.

Name Your Price Direct Mail

This is one of the best direct response campaigns that was originally written as an email, but could also be translated into direct mail.

The Name Your Price strategy has generated hundreds of millions of dollars in listings because it's so incredibly simple—

One message. One call-to-action.

This is a campaign that you can send every 4-6 months, and you're going to get listings.

Gretchen Coley sent out this campaign and generated 130 conversations, 8 listings.

Now here's the thing—Gretchen didn't just send the postcard and wait for people to reply.

She sent the postcard, got a few replies, then also picked up the phone and made phone calls.

If you want to get an ROI from direct mail marketing, you've got to go the extra mile to send the postcard and make the call as well.

Have you received your 2024 home value report yet?

Nearly 30% of CMA request leads transact within 12 months, making home value reports one of the most effective tools for generating future business. This direct mail campaign captures attention with the hook, “Have you received your 2024 home value report yet?”—a question that implies homeowners should already have this information, encouraging them to reach out.

The letter highlights the limitations of online tools, which often fail to capture market nuances and lead to inaccurate estimates. To strengthen the message, include a real example. Replace the placeholder $XX,XXX with a client story where an online estimate undervalued their home. Real-life proof builds credibility and reinforces the value of your expertise.

Unsolicited CMA: Home Improvement

Most agents wait for homeowners to ask about their home’s value. But the best agents don’t wait for permission to be helpful. They anticipate the need and show up with value—before the homeowner even thinks to ask.

That’s what makes this text so effective. Instead of offering a generic CMA, you’re telling them you’re already working on it. It’s proactive, it’s personal, and it naturally sparks a conversation.

This text campaign is simple but powerful. Instead of just handing over a home value report, it starts a conversation. By asking about recent or planned updates, you engage the homeowner, make them think differently about their investment, and position yourself as the expert who helps them maximize it.

Client Success Story: Do you need to fix up your house before you sell?

Most sellers assume they need to spend thousands fixing up their home before they can sell. But here’s the truth: They might not need to.

This email is so effective because it challenges that assumption with real results. If you recently worked with a client who had an outdated home, needed big-ticket repairs, and believed a traditional sale wasn’t worth the hassle, this is your chance to shift their perspective. Instead of pouring money into renovations or taking a lowball offer from an iBuyer, they leaned on your network of buyers. The result? A sale that netted them significantly more than an instant offer.

The key takeaway: Selling as-is isn’t a last resort—it’s a strategy. And when sellers have the right expert in their corner, they don’t have to choose between convenience and maximizing their profit.

Do you need to fix up your house before you sell?

One of the biggest misconceptions sellers have? That listing with an agent means weeks of expensive repairs, dealing with contractors, and endless headaches. Companies like Opendoor have capitalized on that fear, selling the promise of certainty, convenience, and speed. And guess what? It’s worked—over 30,000 homes bought in just two years.

But here’s the truth: Many of these sellers are leaving real money on the table. They might not need to renovate to sell. They might just need access to the right buyer.

This email is so effective because it challenges the seller’s assumptions. Most believe they have to fix up their home to attract buyers, but is there a different story? Not every buyer is looking for perfect—many prioritize location, potential, and value. And with your extensive network of buyers, you can connect sellers with the right match, without forcing them into costly renovations.

Pro tip: Strengthen this email by adding a local stat on buyer demand. Show sellers that homes—even ones that need work—are still moving fast in your market. The more relevant the data, the more powerful your message.

Just Listed Letter

A Just Listed letter isn’t just about announcing a new listing—it’s about making homeowners pay attention to how it could impact their home’s value. Every sale in a neighborhood sets a new benchmark, influencing what buyers are willing to pay. This letter shifts the conversation from “Oh, another home for sale” to “Why should I care?”

It also serves another purpose: showcasing your marketing strategy without saying “Look how great I am.” By sharing real numbers—social media views, private showings, buyer interest—you’re proving that your approach gets results. And by offering to personally share the final sale details, you create an easy, value-driven way to stay in touch with potential future sellers. 

Use this letter to position yourself as the agent who understands the market, drives demand, and keeps homeowners informed.

Market Update Text

Whenever you have a marketable moment—like a client receiving multiple offers, selling above their online estimate, or going under contract quickly—it’s the perfect time to send a 1-to-1 text like this. 

The power of this message comes from herd mentality—when people see others having success in the market, they naturally start wondering if they should make a move too. 

The phrase “Have you noticed what’s been going on in our market?” is a soft, easy-to-answer question that invites conversation without pressure. 

Customize the first line of this text based on what you’ve helped your clients accomplish recently. Here are a few ideas:
