I'm about to go meet a potential seller

This is rarely talked about in the real estate marketing world but one of the best ways to attract high-quality seller leads is by doing high-quality marketing of your current listings.

Prior to the home going on the market, this is the first email you should send.

It's a simple way to add incredible value to both potential buyers and your seller. ⬇️

Forward to a Friend

In his book Viral Loop, Adam L. Penenberg profiles the rise of Hotmail, and tells the story of how it happened.

To help spread the word about Hotmail, they added this line...

"p.s. I Love You. Get a free email at Hotmail.com" 

That small hook at the end of the message created a hockey stick growth for them. 

So here's the zen learning…

The people in your database may not be buying today but they know someone who is. 

More importantly, they can introduce you to a new prospect with the right hook. 

The next time you have a listing to promote, try this email below.

ZMA Email

Every time you complete a CMA, it's an opportunity to start more conversations.

Take your most marketable CMA and turn it into an email campaign to generate seller leads every week. 

The process goes like this:

1. Do 5-10 CMAs per week.

2. Highlight the most notable one.

3. Send out this email.

4. Start more conversations.

This is how you generate high-quality leads without paying a profit-crushing referral fee.

Value Based Voicemail: Market Updates

This circle prospecting script landed Gretchen Coley a $3.4M listing opportunity.

Here's why it works:

1. Relevant, hyper-local market data that gives a reason to reach out.

2. Incorporating the "Bandwagon Effect"—a psychological principle that argues that we're more likely to do things if we know that other people are already doing it.

3. Excellent use of the magic words "One more thing…" with a CMA offer even if they aren't thinking about selling.

Next time you discover a local market trend that prospective sellers need to know about, try this script.

Value Based Voicemail: Just Sold Strategy

Every time you sell a home, it's an opportunity to circle prospect around the neighborhood and execute what we call the Value-Based Voicemail strategy.

The strategy is simple—

1. Give them valuable information about the sale that they might not find online.

2. Ask them if they know of anyone who's thinking about selling, to have them give you a call.

This exact script landed Connie Carlson another listing opportunity just after she sold her listing $40K over the asking price.

Buddy System CMA

Let's be honest—sometimes it can be easier to call your colleague's past client list than it is to call your own.

So why not switch it up?

Using the Buddy System CMA strategy, swap lists with a colleague.

The Matchmaker Strategy

This is a tactic we like to call The Matchmaker Strategy.

Here's how it works:

1. After you sell a property, call your buyer leads using the first script.

2. Then, after you call your buyer leads, call homeowners in the area using the next script.

It's that simple.

Try it and see if it works for you.

Listing Appointment Script

Don’t wait until you secure the listing to start building relationships with the neighbors.

Here’s a technique to implement as soon as you book the listing appointment:

1. Build a list of nearby homes using a tool like Propstream.

2. Enrich the list with contact information (skip tracing).

3. Use the following script to make calls and send personalized emails.

If the first time the neighbors hear from you is when you’ve sold the home, you’re missing valuable opportunities.

By consistently engaging with neighbors at each stage of the listing process, you’re doing more than selling a home—you’re building your listing pipeline.

This strategy can effectively transform one listing opportunity into two or three additional ones.

One More Thing: Referral Script

Asking for referrals can feel hard.

This script reframes the typical referral script.

The phrase "One more thing" are magic words that you can slide into the end of a conversation with your client. 

From there, make a genuine offer to help someone in their network.

Try it out. ⬇️

text-scripts
One More Thing: Hidden Sellers

One of the ways you can find hidden sellers is by using the right script when you call your buyer leads.

Now, when most agents call their buyer leads, they ask, "Do you have a home to sell?" in hopes of getting the listing appointment.

The problem? Most consumers will immediately put up a wall.

Because they're contacting you to schedule a showing, to try to find a home—most of them don't want to talk about putting their home up for sale just yet.

So here's what to do instead:

Instead of asking that question at the beginning of the conversation, use the following script after you book the appointment.

This simple swap will lead to significantly better results.

Seller Script for Building Your Listing Pipeline

Almost everyone has a prediction on where they think the market is headed.

And it's a really interesting angle for engaging 1-to-1 with your SOI: What do they think is going to happen with the market?

This 3-part text script is an opportunity to find people who are thinking about selling, but who haven't yet raised their hand.

Here's how to start the conversation. ⬇️

If I could find you an off-market cash buyer...

Chris Voss talks about a negotiation technique he calls an Accusation Audit. It's an preemptive approach that defuses any negative thoughts the other side might be thinking by proactively addressing them.

So for this strategy, by framing a hypothetical question with, "I know this is a bit of a crazy question," you create a safe space to have an open dialogue and explore with your prospect.

Here's the script you can copy/paste.

Send this to 5 of your clients in your database this afternoon.

Ken Pozek's Equity Update

Proactively sending CMAs is a killer strategy.

It's exactly what Ken Pozek and his team did to generate $80,000 in commission.

Here's the data he shared:

  • 30 CMAs 
  • 12 Appointments Booked
  • 5 Listings (all closed) 
  • 6 Deals in total (1 doubled-ended) 

Here's the exact script his team used when they reached out to their SOI with their CMA. 

Imagine if you started executing 5 of these a week?

3% Text

You've probably got a database full of clients who are never going to sell their house.

Because if they were to buy their same house again today, their mortgage payment would be more than double.

It makes sense why you might think that there isn't much value in staying in touch with these folks…

But that would be short-sighted.

Happy clients are your best referral sources.

Try this text message instead.

1:1 Market Update

How do you generate more listings?

Have more conversations.

Here's how:

Professional agents study the market daily, but most don't do anything with that insight unless asked.

Here's what I want you to do:

The next time you review recent sales, text someone in your SOI who lives near that property.

This is a 1 to 1 market update that is…

Easy to digest.

Personalized.

Relevant.

When you get a response, provide them with all the information about the sale and offer a free home valuation report.

Start doing 5 of these a day and watch the magic happen. 🚀

Equity Update Direct Mail

Every time you complete a CMA, it's an opportunity to start more conversations—and book listing appointments.

S/O to Steve Stych who sent the exact letter that you'll see below, and got a listing appointment that turned into a signed listing. He then sold that listing in 2 days. The total cost to mail out the letters was about $225. And the GCI he's generated from this campaign? $15,000.

Take your most marketable CMA and turn it into a direct mail campaign to generate seller leads every week. 

The process goes like this:

1. Do 5-10 CMAs per week.

2. Highlight the most notable one.

3. Send out this direct mail letter.

Pro-Tip: Include your selling programs on the right side of the letter so they know their selling options.

This is how you generate high-quality leads without paying a profit-crushing referral fee.

The Flattery Campaign

If you're looking for a strategy to build instant rapport with prospects, it's this one.

Every homeowner wants to feel like they made a smart investment buying when they did, where they did.

This is an opportunity for you to affirm their decision and prove it with relevant market data.

The flattery angle is a smart way to engage the consumer, provide value, and build trust.

And of course, don't just send the campaign and stop there.

Hit the phones to follow-up.

You live in a hot neighborhood

If buyer demand is on the rise in a particular neighborhood, this is a great campaign to send:

1. It educates the potential seller on the current market trends they should know about.

2. It creates a sense of curiosity about their home's value.

3. It positions you as the local expert.

Send this direct mail campaign out to a hot neighborhood near you and hit the phones to follow-up.

Turnover Rate

This is a great angle that answers the question "Why should I sell now?" 

Here's why it works:

1. It highlights relevant, specific market trends that they'd care about. You're not waiting for permission to be helpful. You're actively bringing information to them that they should know about.

2. It includes a compelling, direct response CTA.

3. It builds rapport and trust. It makes the communication feel more personal and less like a standard sales pitch.

Compare Options

Most people don't know all their options when it comes to selling their home.

Whether it's a Cash Offer, Fix & Flip, Buy Before You Sell, or a Traditional Sale—educate the consumer on the options they have when they work with you.

This direct mail letter is a great example—it's value-first, but it includes a section where they can compare their options.

This is a subtle way to provide value, build trust, and educate the consumer on how you can help them navigate this market.

The Yellow Letter Strategy: Truth In Marketing

There's power when you tell the truth in your marketing.

Bill Bernbach, an American advertising creative director, said “A small admission gains a large acceptance.”

This is a principle in advertising.

Tell people what they already know with your direct mail marketing. 

This strategy is a perfect example.

Bonus: We used Yellow Letters Complete to create this campaign. They handwrite the notes using a robot, and you can add a custom sticky note that we find to be extremely effective in eliciting responses.

The Yellow Letter Strategy: Just Sold

This direct mail campaign generated a $2M listing. 

Total spend, $1,200.

We targeted 1,000 neighbors who had owned their homes for more than three years and had a property value of over $1.5M.

Here’s why it worked:

1. We had social proof (“Your neighbor hired us”).

2. We provided specifics about the sale that couldn’t be found online.

3. We shared a relevant statistic that piqued their curiosity.

Most importantly, we had a clear and direct call to action targeted towards serious sellers.

ZVA

This strategy is called Zillow vs Agent.

(S/O to Jacob Stark for executing this strategy.)

First, a question for you: What happens to the Zestimate when you list a property?

Right—it changes to the list price.

Talk about the biggest punch in the gut.

If you list a property for $500,000 and you sell it for $500,000…it doesn't appear that you did anything. You simply sold it for the Zestimate.

What most people don't realize is that maybe two weeks ago, the Zestimate was $430,000.

But you had no record of proof that you actually sold that property for $70,000 above the Zestimate.

Here's how to take advantage of that—

Before you put the home in the MLS, take a screenshot of the Zestimate.

Then after you sell it, you have a before and after to showcase how great you are at your job.

Here's the exact copy to use in your letter.

direct-mail-templates
ZMA

1 listing appointment, 120 letters sent.

Here's how the ZMA works:

1. Print out a screenshot of their Zestimate

2. Add a handwritten sticky note with the CTA—Would you sell for 10% more than this? (feel free to adjust based on your market)

3. Mail to your farm. Handwritten is better than mass-produced.

Pro-tip: Use Propstream to build your list and use the following parameters:

7+ years

4%+ interest rate

Owner occupied with 30%+ equity

Of course, feel free to adjust based on your own knowledge of the market.

2. Highlight the most notable one.

3. Send this letter to your farm.

This is how you generate high-quality leads without paying a profit-crushing referral fee.

Just Sold

Just Sold Letters + Circle Dialing works.

The following campaigns resulted in multiple listing appointments.

Here's the pro-tip:

1. Build a targeted list. Ideally, homes that fit in your local "sell-box."

2. Create a campaign that provides information the consumer can't find online (i.e. # of offers, # of showings, etc.) with a simple and clear call-to-action. Don't include the final sale price—that gives potential sellers a reason to call.

3. Make your offer clear and compelling.

And finally, don't wait for the inbound calls. 

Hit the phones to follow up. 

This needs to become an SOP every time you sell a home.

Orphan Buyers

There are probably people in your database who bought a house with a real estate agent who no longer carries a license.

Neglect Strategy

You're either going to love or hate this strategy…

We've all heard the stat that 87% of consumers say that they'd work with their agent again, but only 12% do. (Source: NAR)

Part of the reason why that is, is because the consumer never hears from their agent again after they buy or sell.

This strategy speaks to those folks directly.

Reasons why people are selling this [season]

This letter generated a $2,100,000 listing that sold in 2 weeks.

While your competition is asleep at the wheel sending their generic, Just Listed and Just Sold postcard, there's an opportunity to stand out in the mailbox by providing useful information that's personalized to their market.

We sent this letter to 1,497 North Hills homeowners. Total cost, $1,047.

Here's why it worked:

1. The audience matches the message

2. The call-to-action answers the "Why now?" question

3. The social proof creates confidence

Don't believe the adage that it takes 12 months to generate an ROI from direct mail. 

A well crafted message that has a clear call to action can drive immediate results.

Selling is a bad idea

The thought "selling is a bad idea" has crossed the mind of nearly every seller at some point.

Rather than resorting to the usual "now is a good time to sell" pitch often used by Realtors, let's tackle the issue directly.

Selling your home is painful.

It's emotional.

It can be overwhelming.

And it costs $$$.

Even when it's easy, it's not.

There's an adage in marketing, a small admission is how you gain large acceptance.

So let's address the pain head-on.

This campaign can also be used for a direct mail letter and a short-form video on social media.

What's your plan? [Land & Expand]

This is a strategy we call "Land & Expand."

It's a technique to bridge the gap between marketing and sales. Which means, you'll send a marketing email to a targeted list with a targeted message. Then follow-up with a text:

Hi [First Name], 

Hope you’re well my friend. I just sent you an email. 

Let me know if you fall into bucket #1, #2 or #3 🙏

Chances are they'll get the text before they see your email. So you'll start the conversation via text, prompt them to check their email, and hopefully respond to your text to continue the conversation.

The goal of this strategy is to get a good sense of where your past clients fall in their seller journey as you think about your sales pipeline.

Are they 6-12 months out from selling?

2-4 years from now?

Maybe more?

As you get more information and more context about their plans, add those notes to your CRM and start to be helpful right now to help them achieve whatever it is they want to achieve this year.

We all know that reviews matter.

But if we're honest, most of us might miss the opportunity to capture the story and the sentiment from a happy client after the transaction.

The best part?

It actually includes five questions to make it easier for them to leave a review.

Be sure to include the link to where they can write the review, right in the email.

If you do success stories with your past clients, you can also use these questions in your interviews.

Why Clients Choose [Your Team] When the Stakes Are High

You’re not just selling homes. You’re selling certainty—in a market full of doubt.

The mistake? Thinking your experience speaks for itself. It doesn’t. Not anymore.

We saw this video by Dewayne Carpenter—just 90 seconds, no fluff, no hype—and it stopped us cold. It framed experience not as ego, but as an edge. And it did what most agent videos don’t: it made us feel the value of working with someone who’s done the reps.

So we reverse-engineered it.

We broke down the structure, reworked the beats, and wrote you a script that’s ready to record—without sounding like a script. Something you could put on your homepage, pin to your YouTube channel, or use as a trust-building asset when someone’s deciding whether to hit “schedule a call.”

This isn’t about flexing your résumé. It’s about translating experience into language the consumer actually understands—and values.

Use this to show—not tell—why working with you isn’t a gamble. It’s a shortcut.

Deal of the Week Social

We’ve been testing a lot of ways to bring the Deal of the Week strategy to Stories—and this one’s a winner.

It’s simple. Swipeable. And engineered to build momentum before the CTA hits.

Instead of leading with a poll (which can feel rushed), we let the story unfold over 3 slides—hook → details → standout features—then drop the poll. That structure alone gave us 6x more engagement in recent tests.

The best part? This is one of those rare story templates that works whether you're showing your face or not. You can record a walkthrough, use listing photos, or keep it text-only and still make it feel personal and high-value.

We pulled the hook from one of the 1,200 top-performing Instagram creators we track at Listing Leads—and built the rest to help you execute fast.

Use it to spotlight hidden gems, test urgency-driven content, or just stay top of mind with serious buyers.

Pro tip: Anyone who taps the poll is showing interest. Send them a quick DM to start the conversation.

“A client just asked me what [Area]’s most overrated neighborhood is. 😳
I think I know the answer…what do you think?”

It’s light, local, and designed to stir the pot just enough.

Instead of leading with a poll (which can feel rushed), we let the story unfold over 3 slides—hook → details → standout features—then drop the poll. That structure alone gave us 6x more engagement in recent tests.

The best part? This is one of those rare story templates that works whether you're showing your face or not. You can record a walkthrough, use listing photos, or keep it text-only and still make it feel personal and high-value.

We pulled the hook from one of the 1,200 top-performing Instagram creators we track at Listing Leads—and built the rest to help you execute fast.

Use it to spotlight hidden gems, test urgency-driven content, or just stay top of mind with serious buyers.

IG Reel: The secret to getting a lowball offer accepted

This is the kind of content buyers actually save.

It answers a question they’re already thinking about—“Can I make a low offer?”—and gives them a smart, helpful framework for when and how that works.

The beauty of this Reel? You don’t even need to be on camera.
The caption does the heavy lifting, walking through timing, terms, and tone—while the Reel itself can be as simple as a text-based hook or B-roll with overlay.

We know listings are sitting on the market longer right now, so we thought this might be a good moment to meet the market with a message like this. It’s timely, relevant—and likely to resonate.

“I wanted to buy a home this year but about to give up because…”

After analyzing thousands of real estate creators, we’ve noticed a trend: the highest-engagement polls are often the most casual. They feel like a text from a friend, not a marketing post. That’s exactly what this story is designed to do.

Starting with “Debated not posting this…” immediately disarms your audience. It signals vulnerability and curiosity—two powerful triggers that drive replies, votes, and DMs. Pair that with a low-maintenance design and a simple poll format, and you’ve got a high-impact story that feels spontaneous but is strategically built for engagement.

Use this poll to re-engage buyers who may be silently struggling or considering stepping out of the market. It opens the door to honest conversations—and gives you a soft way to reintroduce helpful guidance.

[Your City] Propaganda I Am Absolutely Falling For

This Reel taps into a trend that’s everywhere right now (like here) — and for good reason.

It’s not just funny. It’s tribal. It’s us vs. them, but in the most charming, slightly unhinged, deeply relatable way.

“[Your City] Propaganda I Am Absolutely Falling For” is your chance to lovingly call out the oddly specific, wildly inaccurate, and completely accepted delusions your city lives by.

Think: overpriced habits, generational conditioning, chaotic seasonal rituals — all delivered like a late-night group chat that got out of hand (in the best way).

Why it works:

  • Builds instant connection with your local audience
  • Makes people laugh and feel seen
  • Reinforces that you're not just a local expert — you’re one of them

And best of all? It’s ridiculously easy to make. Swap in your city, riff on 15 local one-liners, hit post, and watch the comments roll in: “ALL OF THE ABOVE ❤️” “Felt way too seen 😭” “Okay but why is this actually true?”

Some will laugh, some will argue, and some will start adding their own. That’s when you know it’s working.

Every seller we work with has second thoughts right before we list. Here’s why →

We hear it all the time from top agents: "The marketing was so good, my sellers joked they didn’t want to move anymore."

That insight sparked this post.

We turned it into a carousel with a hook that sellers (and future clients) can’t ignore:

“Every seller we work with has second thoughts right before we list.”

Because this is your moment to show the sweat—to spotlight the prep, the polish, the vision-building that happens before a home ever hits the market.

This carousel helps you:

  • Show off your behind-the-scenes process
  • Explain why marketing matters
  • Make a confident call to action to DM when it’s time to sell

Smart. Emotional. Sharable.That’s the kind of marketing that sells homes and builds your brand.

Houses that sold with ________ in 2025 in [Area]

This Reel was inspired by a viral post from Lucky to Live Here:

“Houses that sold with the highest taxes in 2025 on Long Island.”

 It’s hyper-local, data-driven, and built for curiosity clicks.

We’ve turned that idea into a customizable Instagram Reel template for your market.

Pick the hook that fits your area best:
→ The steepest price cuts
→ The highest taxes
→ The longest or shortest days on market
→ The highest monthly payments

Then showcase 3–4 recent sales with that stat front and center. Quick to make, easy to engage—and a smart way to start conversations

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.

1 in 7 Homebuyers Are Backing Out | [Your City] Real Estate Market Update

1 in 7 deals fell apart last month. (Redfin)

Not offers that never came in. Contracts that were accepted—and then canceled.

That stat alone gives you a reason to speak up. Because behind every canceled deal is a question your clients are already asking: Is now still a good time to buy or sell?

This video gives you a calm, data-backed way to answer it.

When I tell people I live in [Area], they think…

This Reel flips the narrative—and that’s exactly why it works.

Most buyers have a surface-level impression of your area: traffic, sprawl, or sky-high prices. But that’s not the whole story. 

Inspired by Marie Lee’s viral Instagram Reel, this format is a smart way to shift perception in 7 seconds or less.

Here’s why it works:

  • It creates contrast—what people think vs. what’s true.
  • It uses humor and visual storytelling to reframe objections.
  • It builds local pride while educating your audience.

A few example angles you could use:

  • “When I say I live in East Nashville, they think I mean Broadway crowds… but I really mean tree-lined streets and neighbors who bring you sourdough.”

  • “When I say I’m in Miami, they picture traffic on I-95… but I’m really biking to a quiet café two blocks from the bay.”

  • “When I say I live in Jersey City, people think it’s just high-rises and PATH trains… but I really mean farmers markets and parks with skyline views.”

  • “When I say I live in Scottsdale, they think I mean golf courses and gated communities… but I really mean trails, tacos, and sunset hikes after work.”

Use this Reel to reclaim the narrative—and connect with buyers who want what you see every day.

8 HUGE Changes Coming to [Your City] in 2025

This script was inspired by Olga Moreno’s “8 HUGE Changes Coming to Las Vegas in 2025!!” video—which pulled in over 18,000 views. Not because she went viral. But because she nailed what so many agents miss: people want the big picture.

This isn’t a market update. It’s a narrative.

It gives context to all the local change your audience is seeing—but not fully understanding. It answers the question behind the question: What’s happening in this city, and what does it mean for me?

Here’s how to make it work:

  • Start strong—mention the city, the year, and why this matters now.
    Use stats or headlines sparingly—this is about momentum, not overload.
  • Think like a tour guide. You’re not just selling homes—you’re showing them what’s coming.

And remember: people don’t just want listings. They want to follow someone who’s plugged in, paying attention, and thinking ahead. This video positions you as exactly that.

  • And you’ll gather real-time feedback from your actual audience—not a generic market report.

Many homeowners don’t realize they have options before foreclosure happens. That’s where you come in. By recording and sharing this video, you can proactively educate your audience, position yourself as a trusted resource, and provide real solutions when they need them most.

This script is designed for you to easily record and post. It walks homeowners through:

Expired Marketing - Call Script 7

This script shifts that belief. Instead of rehashing why their home didn’t sell, it focuses on what’s changed. More buyer activity. Homes like theirs moving again. A potential opportunity they didn’t realize existed.

By offering a simple, no-obligation home value update, you open the door to a fresh conversation—one that could lead to them reentering the market with you.

text-scripts
Expired Marketing - Call Script 6

Use this script to spark curiosity and start a conversation that leads to action.

text-scripts
Expired Marketing - Call Script 5

Use this script to provide clarity, build trust, and make sure you’re the agent they turn to when they’re ready to move forward.

text-scripts
Expired Marketing - Call Script 4

This script works because it delivers value first. Instead of pushing them to relist, it offers a Professional Listing Review—a no-obligation analysis that pinpoints why their home didn’t sell and how to fix it. That kind of insight builds trust, creates curiosity, and makes it easier for sellers to take the next step.

Use this script to shift the conversation from frustration to solutions—and put yourself in position to win the listing.

text-scripts
Expired Marketing - Call Script 3

This script sparks curiosity by sharing a real success story. Instead of talking about failure, it paints a picture of possibility—proving that with the right approach, their home can sell. When sellers see what worked for someone else, they naturally start wondering: Could this work for me too?

text-scripts
Expired Marketing - Call Script 2

This script helps homeowners see the bigger picture. It steers the conversation away from just dropping the price and instead focuses on positioning their home the right way.

This is how much you need to make if you wanted to buy…

Most buyers have no idea what it actually takes to afford a home. They scroll listings, see the price, and assume it’s out of reach—without ever running the numbers.

That’s why this post works. It doesn’t just show a home—it makes the math real. It answers the #1 question buyers have: Can I afford this?

Inspired by Selene Hanna’s viral Instagram Reel, we’ve turned her script into a high-performing carousel. The best part? You can use it to market your own listings—or someone else’s (with permission, of course).

The Emotion-Driven Just Sold

Most “Just Sold” posts focus on the numbers—sale price, days on market, multiple offers. But this? This is about the moment a seller realizes their home is officially sold. The relief. The excitement. The deep breath after weeks (or months) of waiting.

Inspired by Bridgette Harrington’s viral reel, this isn’t about data—it’s about the human side of real estate. The emotions, the milestones, the stories that make this job so rewarding.

This reel captures that moment. And trust me, it’s the kind of content people feel—which is exactly why it resonates.

Why Pricing Your Home High Is A Risky Strategy

Pricing your home too high might feel like a smart move—you can always lower it later, right? But in reality, overpricing can do more harm than good.

The first week on the market is everything. That’s when serious buyers are searching, ready to make offers. But if your price is too high? You risk getting ignored, losing momentum, and ultimately selling for less than if you had priced it right from the start.

This carousel breaks down why overpricing is risky—and how to price strategically to attract strong offers.

Selling FSBO. How do I…

Most FSBO sellers think pricing is just about their home. But buyers don’t see it that way. They compare every listing in the market before making a move—and if a home doesn’t stack up, they scroll right past it.

That’s why this Reel works. Instead of telling FSBO sellers their price is wrong, it helps them see why pricing strategically matters. It gives them a buyer’s perspective, shifts their mindset, and naturally leads to the CMA offer as the solution.

The goal? Provide value first, spark awareness, and make it easy for them to take the next step.

FSBO Listing Description Call Script

Most FSBO sellers write their listing descriptions like a checklist—bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage. But buyers don’t connect with stats. They connect with stories.

A home isn’t just a structure. It’s where life happens. The right description doesn’t just inform—it makes buyers picture themselves living there. And yet, most FSBO listings fall flat, blending into the sea of generic homes online.

By guiding sellers to craft a description that sparks emotion, highlights key features, and makes their home stand out, you’re giving them a serious edge in the market.

text-scripts
FSBO Photos Call Script

Most FSBO sellers assume if their home is priced right, buyers will come. But the truth? Buyers don’t just shop with logic—they shop with emotion. And nothing triggers emotion faster than great photos.

Bad lighting, missing key shots, or too few images can make even a well-priced home invisible in a crowded market. The problem? FSBO sellers don’t always know what’s turning buyers away.

By offering strategic photo tips—simple fixes with big impact—you’re helping them attract more buyers without spending a dime. No pressure, no sales pitch—just real advice that makes their listing stronger.

text-scripts
FSBO Pricing Call Script

Most FSBO sellers don’t fail because they lack effort. They fail because they don’t have the right data.

They think selling solo means more control—but without access to real market insights, they’re often guessing on price. Many can’t afford an appraisal, and online estimates? Inaccurate at best, misleading at worst. The result? Overpricing that scares buyers away or underpricing that leaves money on the table.

By offering a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA), you’re giving them something they don’t have—real data on what homes are actually selling for. No pressure, no pitch—just valuable insights to help them make informed decisions. Lead with this, and you won’t just start a conversation. You’ll earn their trust.

Inspired by Kate Howard’s Instagram Reel, this campaign gives you three simple, but often overlooked, mistakes sellers make that can quietly kill deals. Use it to educate your audience, position yourself as the expert who knows what works, and spark conversations with homeowners who want to get it right.

If you hate being on camera, you’re going to love this Reel.

It taps into the growing Faceless Creator trend—where agents build trust, grow their brand, and generate leads without ever showing their face. It’s perfect if you want to reduce the pressure of being on camera or just work faster.

Neighborhoods with…

If you hate being on camera, you’re going to love this Instagram Reel. This campaign leverages the "Faceless Creator" movement on Instagram, which is all about building a brand and generating content without showing your face or making yourself the focal point. It’s a growing trend across Instagram and other platforms, driven by creators who prefer privacy, want to reduce the pressure of being constantly on camera, or simply find it more efficient to create content this way.

Inspired by Courtney Strzelczyk’s Instagram Reel, the hook is to feature neighborhoods that have something that buyers really want (i.e. No HOA, historic character, great shopping, etc.). See the image above for example hooks (or create your own!). End with a CTA for viewers to comment if they want current listings in those neighborhoods.

Seller Lead Activation

Inspired by Ken Pozek’s Instagram Story, this is a perfect campaign to use when you want to convert through Instagram Stories—whether you have a Just Sold listing to promote or not.

The reason why this campaign is so effective is that it leans into the “herd mentality”—the idea that consumers tend to follow the actions and choices of a larger group, often driven by social proof and the perception that popular decisions are the safest or best.

If you’ve recently sold a home, use this campaign to showcase your listing. And if you haven’t recently sold a home, use it as an opportunity to showcase homes that have sold recently in a specific neighborhood for the same effect.

You Won’t Find This Info On Zillow…

Most buyers walk into a home and see potential. They see possibilities, aesthetics, the way the space feels. But as an agent, your job isn’t just to see what is—it’s to spot what could be a problem before it becomes a regret. That’s the difference between an emotional decision and a smart investment.

Inspired by Marie Lee’s viral Instagram Reel, this perspective shift will help your clients make sharper, more informed choices.

Client Success Story: Worried about fixing up your home before you sell?

Most sellers assume they need to spend thousands fixing up their home before listing. But what if that’s not actually the case?

This Instagram carousel doesn’t just challenge that assumption—it proves it wrong with a real success story.

By the end, the message is clear: before they spend a dime, they should DM you first. Real results, real strategy, and a CTA designed to start conversations. Let’s get it posted!

POV: You Finally Find A Home You Love...

POV hooks are powerful—and for good reason. They pull your audience in by speaking directly to their experience. That’s exactly what this campaign does: it gives you a chance to educate your followers about your off-market strategy while showing them how you uncover hidden opportunities.

No script, no voiceover—just b-roll from your camera roll (a neighborhood like in this example, a listing interior like in this example, even a front door like in this example). Overlay with text, and let the caption do the heavy lifting. It doesn’t need to be super polished, the priority here is a clear message.

The source of this data point mentioned in the description is from BatchService and surfaced by Lance Lambert, co-founder of ResiClub:

According to an analysis by BatchService, approximately 1.2 million U.S. home sales in 2024 were conducted off-market. Given that the National Association of Realtors reported about 5 million existing-home sales in 2024, this suggests that roughly 24% of home sales occurred off-market.

This campaign isn’t just a Reel. It’s a chance to build trust, share your expertise, and position yourself as the agent who goes beyond what’s expected. Keep it real, keep it relatable—and don’t forget to end with a call to action that gets them to raise their hand.

The smartest agents know that niching down their message is the fastest way to drive up their revenue.

One niche you might be overlooking? Downsizers. A recent survey by Bright MLS found that 6% of homeowners over 60 plan to sell this year, with downsizing as their number one reason.

EOTW: Magic Buyer

‍If you’re working with qualified buyers but struggling to find the right homes, you’re not stuck—you’re set up for a Magic Buyer strategy.

This approach doesn’t just help your buyers; it sparks conversations, builds relationships, and uncovers off-market opportunities.

Tiffany Vasquez put this strategy into action, sending out 88 Magic Buyer Letters. Here’s what happened:

  • 15 responses
  • 10 interested parties
  • 6 tours completed
  • 5 potential listings

Her secret? Specificity and a personal touch. Sellers connect with real people, not just data points. Share meaningful details (without getting too personal)—your buyers’ budget, preferred location, or even a note about why they’re drawn to that specific neighborhood. These small touches make your message authentic and memorable.

Think of this email campaign as your Magic Buyer “Roundup”—a chance to represent multiple buyers at once while positioning yourself as the agent who goes the extra mile.

As you adapt it to your audience, make sure to:

  • Highlight who your buyers are and what they’re looking for.
  • Include your personal cell number.
  • Use a direct response CTA in the P.S. to drive action.

Just Sold 2025

If you want to grab attention and convert curiosity into action, this campaign is your blueprint.

It’s built around three powerful marketing tactics designed to engage and persuade: Small Agreements, Objection Handling, and the Power of a Client Case Study.

By inviting homeowners to take a simple, no-pressure step—like texting for a free home value report—it lowers barriers, builds trust, and encourages incremental commitment.

At the same time, it proactively addresses a common objection: “I don’t want to sell my home,” reframing the conversation to focus on clarity and future possibilities.

Including a real client success story—selling a home for $25,000 over Zestimate—adds credibility and proves your expertise, making your offer even more compelling.

Together, these strategies create a message that inspires action and helps you win your next listing.

Pro-Tip: Add your client’s testimonial in the P.S. to build even more credibility and trust.

[Coming Soon] Don’t Say I Didn’t Warn You

Your listing marketing isn’t just about selling a home—it’s the best form of advertising you can do for your future sellers.

But too many agents see listing marketing as a task to check off, missing the bigger opportunity. Future sellers are watching closely.

I challenge you to think differently about every aspect of your listing marketing.

Make it an irresistible showcase of your expertise, so every seller in your market says, "That’s the agent I need."

VOTW: Buy (Property Type) For (Down Payment)

When something works, smart agents take note and adapt it for their own market. That’s exactly the inspiration behind this Instagram Reel script, modeled after Shaneé Dunbar, a Houston Realtor whose Reel went viral with over 938K views. Her simple yet compelling message—highlighting an affordable down payment and key features of a newly constructed quadplex—captured attention and generated massive engagement.

This script follows the same proven formula: showcase an attractive property, emphasize an accessible down payment, and highlight a standout feature or benefit. Pair the voiceover with eye-catching B-roll of the listing, and you’ve got a Reel that’s designed to stop scrolling and spark interest. Tailor it to your market, and let this strategy work for you.

How to Create Your Instagram Reel

Step 1: Use our script to create your Instagram Reel

Step 2: Create or Upload Your Reel: Record a Reel using Instagram's camera or upload a pre-recorded video from your phone.

Step 3: Edit Your Reel: Add effects, music, and text as needed.

Step 4: Proceed to the Share Screen: Tap Next after editing your Reel to move to the final screen where you add captions and tags.

Step 5: Use the Canva template below to create your Instagram Reel cover: Use your brand colors to customize it to your unique brand. Save it to your camera roll.


Step 6: Select the Cover: On the Share Screen, look for the "Cover" option (usually beneath or near the preview of your Reel). Tap "Cover" to open the editor. Tap "Add from Camera Roll" to upload the image.

Step 7: Crop and Adjust (Optional): Instagram lets you adjust the placement of the image for the grid preview (the square format seen on your profile). Use the grid view to ensure the most important part of the image is centered.

IG Story Series: At what rate would you consider re-entering the market?

An FHFA study found the lock-in effect kept 1.3 million homeowners from selling between Q2 2022 and Q4 2023. Now with rates dropping, we could see more buyers and sellers re-enter the market.

That’s why this Instagram story series works: it builds the narrative step by step, grounding your audience in data, then connecting it to what’s happening right now. By the third slide, you’re not asking a yes-or-no question about moving - you’re meeting people where they are with a softer entry: At what rate would you consider re-entering the market?

It’s low-friction, easy to engage, and a natural segue into conversation. And with the included follow-up script below, you’re equipped to turn story interactions into meaningful one-on-one chats.

7 [Area] Towns Locals LOVE (But Don’t Want You to Know About)

Hidden towns drive outsized attention - and action.

Eric Meldrum proved it: his “7 Detroit-ish Towns Locals LOVE” pulled 55× more views than his average video. That’s not luck. It’s a format buyers can’t scroll past and locals can’t resist sharing. And with more buyers re-entering the market as rates ease, this is the moment to spotlight the places that don’t make the glossy lists.

Your role: be the guide. Lead with a bold promise, anchor it in simple lifestyle wins, and let the “locals-only” angle do the heavy lifting. We built a plug-and-play template so you can move fast, stay credible, and convert attention into calls.

Use this to film your own “underrated towns” video - swap in your markets, hit record, and go.

What would make the idea of selling less risky for you? (CA)

Don’t text your whole list. Text the people who already raised a hand.

Everyone who opened yesterday’s email told you they’re paying attention- treat them like it.

This follow-up is simple on purpose. Lead with a direct reason you’re reaching out (“busy fall, lots of questions coming in”), then ask a clear multiple-choice question that’s effortless to answer. Short taps, fast signal. You’ll learn what matters - next home, payment, price, or something else - and you’ll know who to call first.

This is precision over volume. Send this only to yesterday’s openers, and watch who leans in.

What would make the idea of selling less risky for you?

This is where the follow-up magic happens. Yesterday’s email set the stage - it framed the rate drop and got homeowners leaning in. Today, you’re doubling down by sending this text to everyone who opened that email. 

The structure is intentional: start with a relevant reason to reach out (buyers responding to lower rates), acknowledge the real fear of selling (it can feel overwhelming), and then lower the barrier with a multiple-choice question. That format makes it simple for homeowners to engage without overthinking.

And the close - “Maybe I can help” - keeps it human, conversational, and approachable.
