The best part?

It wasn't their listing.

But here's the thing...

This email is just the beginning.

Repurpose your Deal of the Week into an IG poll and an SOI text.

This is how you can take a winning marketing campaign and maximize the impact.

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.

We call this a “fast ball” email because it’s quick, clean, and built to get replies.

It leads with empathy. It sounds personal, even off-the-cuff. And it mirrors the exact conversations many agents are already having right now, where people want to move but feel frozen by uncertainty.

The format is simple on purpose: A short, genuine note that puts a few common scenarios on the table and invites the reader to raise their hand. That’s it.

Let’s get it out there.

This campaign has generated millions of dollars in listing appointments. It's the incredibly popular Name Your Price campaign.

Here's a pro-tip: This tactic was originally designed to be an email campaign but really smart agents are leveraging it as a direct mail piece as well. 

When an idea works, extend it to other channels. 

Always double down on your winners.

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:

1. 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.
2. Authority: Citing reputable sources like Redfin and Yahoo Finance establishes credibility. It shows that the insights provided are backed by data, enhancing trust.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
