FSBO Postcard

Nearly 30% of CMA request leads transact within 12 months, making home value reports one of the most effective tools for generating future business. This direct mail campaign captures attention with the hook, “Have you received your 2024 home value report yet?”—a question that implies homeowners should already have this information, encouraging them to reach out.

The direct mail postcard highlights the limitations of online tools, which often fail to capture market nuances and lead to inaccurate estimates. To strengthen the message, include a real example. Replace the placeholder $XX,XXX with a client story where an online estimate undervalued their home. Real-life proof builds credibility and reinforces the value of your expertise.

Pro-Tip: Print this as a MEGA postcard. A/B test both the letter and postcard version of this campaign in your market to see which performs better.
