Absentee Owners / Second Home Seller Letter

Fourteen percent of all home sales this year came from one group: owners who don’t live in the property they’re selling. (Source: NAR)

Second homes. Absentee owners. Landlords dealing with repairs, vacancies, and shifting returns.

They may not be raising their hands, but many are re‑evaluating what they own and why.

This campaign is built to reach them where they are, before they make their next move.Your job? Put it in play and start turning this segment into your next source of listings.

The Anti-Hype Letter

In a shifting market, fear is cheap (and everywhere).

You can’t scroll YouTube without someone predicting the “big crash” or shouting “sell now before it’s too late.”

But here’s the thing: the data says otherwise. Decades of housing history show that every downturn recovers.

Which means panic‑selling is the fastest way to turn a temporary dip into a permanent loss.

That’s why this letter takes the opposite approach. Instead of peddling fear, it positions you as the steady, long‑view professional who helps people sell for the right reasons: fit, timing, lifestyle.

It’s the kind of message that builds trust when others are burning it.Send it monthly to your farm and watch your share of the market grow when confidence is in short supply.

Coming Soon: Skip the Waitlist

Scarcity sells, especially in real estate.

Tell someone they can’t have something, and suddenly it’s all they can think about.

That’s the psychology behind this campaign. It opens with a line most agents would never dare send: “I really shouldn’t share this listing with you…”

From there, it trades in curiosity, not information. No price. No exact address. Just a handful of vivid details, a whisper of exclusivity, and a simple CTA: text “VIP” to learn more.

This isn’t about announcing a listing, it’s about creating demand before it hits the market.Send it, and you’re not just marketing a home. You’re making it feel like an opportunity buyers can’t afford to miss.

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.

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.

Working In Public

You’re going to love this strategy. 

We all know that unsolicited CMAs work.

What you need to do next is take your most marketable CMAs and turn them into IG stories 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. Create a story on IG.

4. Add the poll. (see example below) 

5. DM everyone who opts in.

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

Just Sold: Show the Sweat

We like to tell the consumers that selling is easy, fast and simple. 

This message gets reinforced through postcards that tout results like: 

“Sold in 3 days” or “Above Ask Price”

This devalues our service. 

So what’s the alternative? 

Show the sweat.

This is a postcard my team at Curaytor created for our client, Gretchen Coley.

Here’s what I love about this postcard: 

  1. There’s a hook “Even our clients were shocked” 
  2. We highlighted the pain the customer was experiencing 
  3. We broke down our strategy (showed the how) 
  4. We provided a specific performance metric to help reinforce the story
  5. We ended with a clear call to action

Put it to work for you. ⬇️

Ray Ellen Strategy

One of the smartest ways you can use your email marketing tool is to cross-promote your social media posts.

This is one of my favorite strategies implemented by Ray Ellen.

Here's how it works:

1. Find a notable listing in the MLS (or Off-Market).

2. Write a brief post about it on social media with a CTA to DM you if they're interested.

3. Send an email blast to your database LINKING to your social post. 

This is something you could do SEVERAL times a month to generate inbound opportunities. 

Ask Ray. It works.

Exclusivity Ends in 24 Hours

When you have a Coming Soon listing and you hit the 24 hours before it goes live, send this email.

Here's why it works so well:

1. It creates urgency. The goal of the subject line, "Exclusivity ends in 24 hours" is to get as many people to open the email as possible.

2. It piques curiosity. Share some info, but not all the info. Share one photo (the "money shot") but not all the photos.

3. It has a strong CTA. Don't drive them to a website. Get them to call.

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. ⬇️
