Fed Cuts Rates Sept 2024

Introduction

You’ve likely seen the news.

The Fed cut rates.

You’ve probably been thinking how do I communicate this update in a way that’s informative and helpful to my audience without coming across as pushy or aggressive.

Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered.

I wrote this bonus campaign for you to use because the timing matters.

Let’s get this sent out to your database ASAP.

Note; the PS is a soft-CTA that you can personalize with your own success story.

Before you get started

For best results with direct mail, you’ll want to have these core lists ready.

Before you send a text, make sure you have these three things in place:

Before you send an email, make sure these three things are in place:

This is your core mailing audience—used for general awareness and market education. Build your list using the following filters:

  • Homeowners who’ve owned for 10+ years
  • 50%+ equity
  • Areas with strong total commission opportunity (transaction volume × average price)

Start with 1,000 homes. Expand if it’s working. Need help pulling the list? Ask your title rep or use tools like PropStream or Breakthrough Broker.

Used for campaigns like Just Listed, Just Sold, Magic Buyer, or Pre-Appointment letters.You’ll need the ability to quickly pull 100–200 nearby homes around a specific property.

Used for targeted campaigns like Expired Listings, Silver Tsunami, and FSBOs.
Pull these from platforms like RedX or similar.

An Email Tool

You need a platform that lets you send mass emails to your database. Use what you have—FUB, Follow Up Boss, Mailchimp, KVCore, Constant Contact, etc. If you’re not set up yet, get that handled first. You can’t send if you can’t hit send.

2

Three Simple Lists

You need three lists:

Prospects

Recommended Audience For This Campaign

People you haven't done business with.

SOI/Past Clients

Recommended Audience For This Campaign

People you have.

Entire Database

Recommended Audience For This Campaign

All contacts.

These lists let you send smarter without overthinking.

A Plain Text Format

These emails are written to feel personal, not promotional—so keep them clean. Paste them as-is, with a short signature (your name, number, maybe your site). That’s it.

A CRM That Can Send Texts

Most modern CRMs can do this—Follow Up Boss, Lofty, Brivity, Real Geeks, etc. Use your CRM before buying anything new. You’ll want tracking, history, and batch-sending capabilities.

If you do need a mass texting tool, here’s what we recommend. But start with manual sends if you have to.

Three Simple Lists

Texting is for follow-up. And smart follow-up starts with the right filters.

Set up three lists:

Prospects

Recommended Audience For This Campaign

People you haven’t done business with.

SOI/Past Clients

Recommended Audience For This Campaign

People you have.

Entire Database

Recommended Audience For This Campaign

All contacts.

Apply two filters:

Engaged Recently

Opened an email or visited your site in the last 7 days.

Not Contacted Recently

No outreach in 30 days (for prospects) or 90 days (for clients).

That overlap—engaged but untouched—is your sweet spot. That’s who you text.

A Plain Text Format

These aren’t spam blasts. They’re timely, value-based follow-ups. Use their first name. Skip the signatures.

The 1,650-Day Wait Is Over

Copy 
Copied!

It's been 1,650 days since the Federal Reserve last cut interest rates.

During this era of rising rates, we've seen:

  • Mortgage rates peak at nearly 8% in October 2023
  • Existing home sales plummet to 1995 levels
  • Home affordability hit a 40-year low

So, when we got the news yesterday that the Federal Reserve was cutting interest rates by 0.5%, we were elated.

Not because this single cut will dramatically change the market overnight — but because the Federal Reserve is signaling that this is the beginning, not the end, of rate cuts.

Yes, lower mortgage rates will result in more buyers, increased competition, and likely more refinancing. 

But it could also lead to something more important:

More homes hitting the market.

According to a recent Bankrate survey, only a tiny fraction of homeowners — just 5% — feel comfortable selling their homes with mortgage rates at 6% or higher.

However, there’s a glimmer of hope for the housing market. 

The survey revealed that more than a third of homeowners (35%) would be willing to sell their homes if mortgage rates dip below 6%.

More homes hitting the market should lead to a healthy and stable real estate market.

Buyers and sellers alike can rejoice in that news.

As always, I'm here to keep you informed about what’s happening in the market.

Sincerely,
Jimmy

P.S. One of my clients wanted to sell their home, but they were afraid they wouldn’t be able to find a new one. After preparing and marketing their home, we got them $14,200 above their desired sales price, and we helped them find a new home to move into in less than 53 days. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just confused, call me directly at 555-555-555 for professional guidance.
