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.

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.

They notice the creativity, care, and thought you put into promoting your clients’ listings and think, "I want that for my home."

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.

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.

SOTW: How much does it really cost to buy a home?

This Instagram Story series is a simple yet effective way to engage your audience by answering a question many buyers have: How much does it really cost to buy a home in [AREA]? Using the Canva templates provided below, you can easily tailor this campaign to your market.

Here’s how to make the most of it:

  3. Customize the text with localized down payment and monthly payment estimates for homes in each area.
  4. Add a poll at the end, asking viewers which price range they’d like listings for.

TOTW: Cold Lead Activation Text

Engaging cold leads requires a concise, curiosity-driven approach that’s authentic and non-intrusive.

This text uses a timely market update to spark curiosity, referencing a rise in new listings. 

Localize the data—make it specific to your market so it feels more relevant and demonstrates your expertise. 

By asking a simple, low-pressure question, you’ll spark engagement and create a natural opening to reconnect with leads who might be ready to explore their options.

Do homebuyers have more leverage now? (CA)

The market isn’t as chaotic as it used to be. And it’s giving buyers something they haven’t had in years: options.

Homes are sitting longer. Bidding wars are cooling. And buyers are starting to realize they have more room to breathe—and negotiate.

This campaign helps you reframe the narrative.

Not with hype. Not with urgency. But with insight.

The housing stat no one’s talking about

Bright MLS data shows nearly 40% of buyers found a home in under 30 days—and half only made one offer. 

That’s a massive shift from the chaos of the past few years.

This campaign helps you reframe the narrative.

Not with hype. Not with urgency. But with insight.

We Don’t Wait For Buyers

Inspired by top-producing agent Lourdes Maestres, this direct mail letter pairs a bold, singular claim with real-world proof. It showcases sold properties where every buyer was found online—through targeted digital campaigns, not open houses or yard signs.

Why it works:

  • The message is focused and fresh.
  • The proof is tangible—real homes, real numbers.
  • And the QR codes flip passive interest into active clicks, driving traffic to your marketing process in action.

Use this to position yourself as the agent who markets like it’s 2025—not 2005. Flip the letter, scan the code, and show them exactly how you do it.

Pro-Tip: Film a video where you clearly describe the marketing you do for properties and drive the QR code to your YouTube channel. See Lourdes' example here.

Cold Lead Activation

This text is for the leads who’ve been sitting on the sidelines—watching, waiting, and weighing their options.

It was sparked by a Redfin article noting a clear trend: buyers today aren’t settling. They’re skipping over homes that don’t check the right boxes—and holding out for the ones that do.

That’s exactly what this message leans into.

It’s a straightforward, no-pressure way to surface interest from people who might be ready to move—if the right home shows up. Use it to start the kind of conversation that leads somewhere.

This isn’t the spring market most people expected (CA)

This campaign was inspired by a recent Financial Post interview with veteran mortgage broker Ron Butler, who called this “maybe the softest spring market in decades.” Then he said something most people wouldn’t expect: “And that might actually be a good thing.”

That’s the opening we ran with.

Because slower doesn’t mean stalled—and soft doesn’t mean broken. This email gives your audience a clearer lens: one that helps them see today’s market as something to better understand.

Use it to reframe the conversation, bring steady perspective, and remind your database that strategy still wins—especially in markets like this.
