Most Realtors wouldn’t share this with you…

Introduction

Most agents default to “now is a great time to buy”—but savvy buyers aren’t buying it.

They’ve seen the headlines. They know affordability is out of whack. What they don’t know is how to make sense of it all—or how to apply it to their own timeline. That’s the gap this campaign is built to fill.

This isn’t about hype. It’s about helping your clients zoom out, think long-term, and make a smart move based on their goals—not market noise.

Use this message to reset the conversation:

  • Shift the narrative from timing to timeline.

  • Show them how national data actually supports their local decision.

  • Position yourself as the clear-thinking, truth-telling guide they’ve been looking for.

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.
3

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.

We’ve all heard the expression: Now is a great time to buy!

But is it really?

A recent post from real estate data journalist, Lance Lambert, stopped me in my tracks…

IF U.S. incomes spiked 69%, we'd return to pre-pandemic housing affordability levels.

IF U.S. home prices fell 41%, we'd return to pre-pandemic affordability.

IF mortgage rates fell 4.3 percentage points, we'd return to pre-pandemic affordability.

So the short answer is—affordability is an issue. 

So is it a great time to buy?

The answer is—it really depends on your timeline.
 

If you’re planning to buy a home for the purposes of putting a fresh coat of paint on it, cleaning the carpets and trying to resell it in 18 months for a 20% gain, you’re going to get crushed.

But if you're like most homeowners—who buy and keep their home for an average of 12 years, then it could be a great time to buy. 

Inventory is up nationally 30.6% year-over-year (Altos Research) and we’re no longer seeing the frenzy of the 2021 real estate gold rush.

I hope you found this helpful and as always, I’m here if you have any questions.
