Do you need to fix up your house before you sell?
How to Execute
Introduction
One of the biggest misconceptions sellers have? That listing with an agent means weeks of expensive repairs, dealing with contractors, and endless headaches. Companies like Opendoor have capitalized on that fear, selling the promise of certainty, convenience, and speed. And guess what? It’s worked—over 30,000 homes bought in just two years.
But here’s the truth: Many of these sellers are leaving real money on the table. They might not need to renovate to sell. They might just need access to the right buyer.
This email is so effective because it challenges the seller’s assumptions. Most believe they have to fix up their home to attract buyers, but is there a different story? Not every buyer is looking for perfect—many prioritize location, potential, and value. And with your extensive network of buyers, you can connect sellers with the right match, without forcing them into costly renovations.
Pro tip: Strengthen this email by adding a local stat on buyer demand. Show sellers that homes—even ones that need work—are still moving fast in your market. The more relevant the data, the more powerful your message.

Targeting Non-Owner Occupied Homeowners:
This letter is specifically crafted to appeal to non-owner occupied homeowners—those who own a second home or investment property but do not live in it. These homeowners are often more financially and emotionally detached from their second properties, making them more likely to consider selling when market conditions change.
Psychological Appeal:
This letter leverages several psychological principles to connect with homeowners considering selling their second homes:
- Social Proof: By stating that many homeowners are in the same situation, it reassures the reader that they are not alone. This social proof reduces the anxiety of making a big decision like selling a home.
- Authority: Citing reputable sources like Redfin and Yahoo Finance establishes credibility. It shows that the insights provided are backed by data, enhancing trust.
- Empathy: The letter acknowledges the reader's potential frustrations and challenges, creating an empathetic connection. Understanding the reader's pain points makes them feel heard and understood.
- Scarcity and Urgency: The mention of declining demand and rising costs implies that the optimal time to sell may be now. This sense of urgency can prompt quicker action from homeowners.
- Simplicity and Clarity: The letter breaks down complex market dynamics into easily digestible points. Clear, concise language ensures that the message is accessible to all readers.
