A deal that’s hard to find in [City]

The Deal of the Week strategy isn’t a nice‑to‑have, it’s a weekly marketing habit worth locking into your SOPs. Simple. Repeatable. Highly effective.

This style of email has helped generate thousands of conversations within our community. Why? Because it’s built to get a response. It sparks curiosity, creates urgency, and makes it easy for people to raise their hand.

But the real win? This email is just the starting point. Repurpose it into an Instagram poll. Turn it into a quick SOI text. Now you’re taking one proven campaign and multiplying its reach, its impressions, and its opportunities.

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.

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.

FSBO Text Script

Most FSBO sellers screen calls from unknown numbers—especially from agents. If they didn’t pick up, it’s not necessarily a “no.” It just means they don’t know why they should talk to you yet.

This text is short, direct, and creates curiosity. Instead of sounding like another agent trying to “win the listing,” you’re positioning yourself as someone with genuine interest in their home. No sales pitch, just a reason for them to call you back.

The goal? Get them to engage. Once they respond, you can shift the conversation toward value—helping them, not selling them.

Once you get them on the phone, use 1 of these 3 call scripts:
- FSBO Pricing Call Script
- FSBO Photos Call Script
- FSBO Listing Description Call Script

Market Like You Gossip

Forget the hard sell. Instead, market like you gossip. Instead of laying out every detail, tease your audience with just enough insider information to spark curiosity. 

Imagine texts that start with, "I probably shouldn’t be telling you this but…" and then hint at great deals or hidden opportunities. Research shows that curiosity-driven messaging can boost engagement significantly. 

Challenge the norm—let this campaign show you how a playful, coy approach can help you start more conversations.

IG Reel: A Slower Sale is Normal

This Reel is for the sellers who are feeling anxious, and for the agents who want to speak to that emotion with honesty.

The campaign was inspired by a fantastic post from Shannon Gillette, who nailed what so many homeowners are feeling right now: “We’re doing everything right… so why hasn’t it sold?”

We took that message and reshaped it into a simple, text-based Reel you can post as-is with a reassuring message that normalizes slower sales and reminds sellers: it’s not just you, this is the market.

Update the “average days on market” to match your area, choose a reflective or trending audio, and post it.

IG Poll: Let’s find some deals

This Story poll is a simple way to turn views into conversations.

By offering specific options (price, feature, location), you give buyers an easy, non-intrusive way to raise their hand.

It works because it feels like help, not a sales pitch.

Customize the options based on what buyers in your market are actually searching for, then post.

When responses come in, check your DMs and follow up with confidence.

See below for recommended follow-up scripts to keep the convo going.

Referral Script

This referral text is simple but strategic.

It’s based on research from Vanessa Van Edwards, a behavioral expert who studies how warmth, trust, and status drive responses.

Here’s what makes it work:
1. It opens with a high-warmth cue—“You’re so well-connected”—which triggers trust and makes the person feel seen.
2. It keeps the ask mutual, not transactional. You’re not selling—you’re inviting them into something valuable.
3. It uses power + warmth language to describe the listing. Instead of underselling it (“might be a good fit…”), you’re quietly signaling urgency and quality.

Send it now if you’ve got a great listing to a contact who knows everyone.

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?

Use this script to plant that seed and position yourself as the solution they’ve been looking for.

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. When you introduce a fresh perspective, you shift their mindset—and that’s when they start seeing you as the agent who can get the job done.

Use this script to guide the conversation and establish yourself as the expert they need.

Expired Marketing - Call Script 1

This script changes the approach. It validates their frustration and shifts the conversation from what went wrong to how to make it right. Instead of pushing, it opens the door to a real dialogue—one that positions you as the agent who actually understands their challenges.

Use this script to disarm objections, build trust, and start conversations that lead to listings.

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).

Ready to start conversations with serious buyers? Let’s dive in.

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.
