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.

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.

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.

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.

Is this why more homeowners are selling in 2025? (CA)

We built this campaign around a financial blind spot that’s become impossible to ignore: the rising total cost of homeownership—and how it’s prompting more Canadians to reconsider staying put. A new Ratehub.ca report shows that in 2025, the average annual cost of owning a home in Canada—excluding mortgage payments—has climbed to over $21,000.

This email leans into that insight to meet clients where they are: feeling squeezed by property taxes, insurance, and upkeep. It speaks to the real questions homeowners are asking right now: Are we paying more to stay than we would to move?

The message does three things:

  1. Educates clients on the hidden and rising costs of ownership.
  2. Brings clarity by offering a framework for comparing today’s costs vs. tomorrow’s options.
  3. Provides next steps, with practical tools and a reassuring offer to help.

We’re not just selling homes—we’re helping people make smart, sustainable decisions.

Is this why more homeowners are selling in 2025?

We built this campaign around a growing pain point: first-time buyers and current homeowners often underestimate the true cost of homeownership. A recent Realtor.com report found that the top regret among first-time buyers is not getting better information about the full cost of owning a home. A Bankrate study echoes this, showing how quickly maintenance, repairs, and surprise expenses can add up.

We also know that many homeowners consider selling because those costs become too much to manage.

This email leans into those insights to do three things:

  1. Educate buyers and sellers on what to expect financially.
  2. Create transparency, removing friction by helping people understand what’s coming next.
  3. Offer next steps, showing up as a helpful guide if a move is on their mind.

By meeting people at the moment when financial questions start to surface, we position ourselves not just as agents — but as trusted advisors who lead with clarity.

Magic Buyer: Investment Opportunity

This campaign is a spin on the proven Magic Buyer strategy—specifically tailored for your clients who are looking for an investment opportunity.

You’re still leveraging real buyer demand to spark off-market conversations, but the message is tailored to homeowners that have properties that need to be renovated.

Tiffany Vasquez sent 88 Magic Buyer Letters and got 15 responses, 10 interested homeowners, and 5 potential listings.

Tre Serrano sent 50 and walked away with 2 listings.

This letter delivers the same results by focusing on what works: a real buyer and a message that feels personal, specific, and low-pressure.

Unsolicited CMA (CA)

More Canadian homeowners are tapping into their equity this year—driven by rising renewal volumes, increased HELOC usage, and a growing need to make smart financial decisions without giving up a low-rate mortgage.

That makes this the perfect time to bring back a strategy that’s worked exceptionally well: the unsolicited CMA.

Reach out to 5–10 people in your sphere or past clients with a quick, personalized equity update—no ask, no pressure, just timely insight.The text below helps you start the conversation—and positions you as the steady, informed guide they want in their corner.

A quick breakdown of last week’s rate decision (CA)

The Bank of Canada held its key rate steady last week—keeping prime at 4.95% and leaving variable-rate borrowers unchanged for now.

But what happens next isn’t as clear. Markets are now expecting just one cut by year-end. Fixed rates are inching up. And depending on how inflation, jobs, and trade unfold this summer, mortgage rates could land anywhere from the low 3s to the high 4s.

This campaign helps you bring that uncertainty into focus. To offer clients real context, timely insight, and the kind of steady, informed guidance they’re looking for right now.

IG Reel: Top 5 Most Popular Housing Markets

If you want to post a market update that actually gets attention—start here.

This Reel was inspired by Katie Day’s “5 Most Sold Neighborhoods” video, which pulled in over 15,000 views in less than a week.

Why? Because it’s simple, hyperlocal, and answers a question buyers and sellers actually care about:

Where are homes selling right now?

Use this at the end of the month to highlight the top-performing neighborhoods in your city—sales volume, average price, days on market. You can record a quick video breaking it down… or keep it simple and plug the numbers into our faceless template.

Either way, it’s a fast, effective way to stay visible, relevant, and valuable—without needing to over-explain the market.

IG Story: Most Overrated Neighborhood?

Not every Story needs to be educational. Sometimes it just needs to start a conversation.

This one came from Jeremy Knight—he posted it to his Facebook page and the comments took off. It’s bold enough to spark reactions, but casual enough to feel like a real conversation starter: “A client just asked me what [Area]’s most overrated neighborhood is. 😳 I think I know the answer…what do you think?”

Add a question box. That’s it.

It’s local. It’s fun. And it gets people talking. You’ll spark DMs, get a read on public opinion, maybe even uncover a few strong opinions to share (anonymously or not—your call).

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.

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.
