If it doesn’t already, the “Deal of the Week” should live in your weekly SOPs. Every week, find the hottest new listing in your market - and turn it into a reason for people to stop, share, and engage.

We know: you can’t always get the listing agent’s permission to share the photos of your Deal of the Week. That’s why we created this template.

Follow the instructions below on how to edit the template in Canva and post to Instagram.

Not sure which listing to feature?

• 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 your deal of the week.

‍

There’s one thing you can never afford to skip in a sales script: destroying the objection in the consumer’s mind. And right now, this one might sound familiar: “Selling just isn’t a priority with the holidays coming up.”

That’s why this text is built on a simple, reliable formula:

Destroy the objection.
Bring something new.
Offer a soft, low-pressure CTA.

You’ll find two versions of the script below: a clean, plug-and-play version for anyone… and a personalized version with hook ideas if you want to go deeper.

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 your deal of the week.

Redfin’s analysis shows that new listings get dramatically more views in the first few days than older listings — and even a price drop never brings the same level of interest back.

Translation for sellers:

• Your first 72 hours get the most attention you’ll ever see.

• Buyer interest falls fast once a listing sits.

• Correcting the price later doesn’t create a second launch.

This is important info for you to communicate. But with the wrong energy, it can come across as off-putting.

So we softened the approach in this email, and framed it with a simple piece of advice: think like a buyer.

Every year, Spotify Wrapped reminds people of one thing: the story you lived is worth seeing. And when a trend grabs this much attention, smart marketers don’t ignore it.

This campaign takes a format your audience already loves and turns it into a snapshot of your year in real estate.

This carousel gives you your own “Wrapped,” designed to stop the scroll, spark engagement, and remind people what you actually do all year long.

Inspired by Ken Pozek’s Instagram Story, this is a perfect campaign to use when you want to convert through Instagram Stories—whether you have a Just Sold listing to promote or not.

‍

The reason why this campaign is so effective is that it leans into the “herd mentality”—the idea that consumers tend to follow the actions and choices of a larger group, often driven by social proof and the perception that popular decisions are the safest or best.

‍

If you’ve recently sold a home, use this campaign to showcase your listing. And if you haven’t recently sold a home, use it as an opportunity to showcase homes that have sold recently in a specific neighborhood for the same effect.

A marketing message that speaks directly to a specific type of seller is far more powerful than a generic one. 

This script is designed for homeowners struggling to get their home sold—sellers who are frustrated, uncertain, and looking for real answers. 

By addressing their pain points head-on, you position yourself as the agent who knows how to get a home sold. 

Inspired by Tyler Drinkwater’s excellent Reel, this script calls out the biggest reason listings fail—poor positioning—and provides a clear path forward. 

Pair this with the Expired Marketing Blueprint to strengthen your strategy and establish yourself as the go-to expert.

Most sellers assume they need to spend thousands fixing up their home before listing. But what if that’s not actually the case?

This Instagram carousel is designed to challenge that assumption. Instead of pushing renovations, it shifts the focus to what actually matters—buyer demand, strategic positioning, and connecting with the right buyers.

The slides walk homeowners through a counterintuitive insight: upgrades aren’t always necessary, and in many cases, skipping them can lead to a faster, more profitable sale. By the end, the CTA is clear—before they spend a dime, they should DM you first.

Simple, effective, and built to spark engagement. Let’s get it posted!

Most sellers assume they need to spend thousands fixing up their home before listing. But what if that’s not actually the case?

This Instagram carousel doesn’t just challenge that assumption—it proves it wrong with a real success story. Instead of pushing renovations, it walks homeowners through a real-life example of a seller who skipped the costly upgrades, found the right buyer, and walked away with $XX,XXX more than they would have made with an iBuyer.

By the end, the message is clear: before they spend a dime, they should DM you first. Real results, real strategy, and a CTA designed to start conversations. Let’s get it posted!

A Just Sold carousel is a real estate marketing staple—and for good reason. It’s a compelling way to showcase real results, build trust, and plant the seed for future sellers. 

Originally inspired by Katie Lucie’s direct mail letter, this carousel repurposes that proven format for Instagram, making it easy to share your next impressive sale.

The hook? A striking price difference between an online estimate and the final sale. It keeps people swiping, reinforces the value of strategic marketing, and ends with a clear call to action.

POV hooks are powerful—and for good reason. They pull your audience in by speaking directly to their experience. That’s exactly what this campaign does: it gives you a chance to educate your followers about your off-market strategy while showing them how you uncover hidden opportunities.

Plus it’s incredibly simple to execute. No script, no voiceover—just b-roll from your camera roll (a neighborhood like in this example, a listing interior like in this example, even a front door like in this example). Overlay with text, and let the caption do the heavy lifting. It doesn’t need to be super polished, the priority here is a clear message.

The source of this data point mentioned in the description is from BatchService and surfaced by Lance Lambert, co-founder of ResiClub:
‍
According to an analysis by BatchService, approximately 1.2 million U.S. home sales in 2024 were conducted off-market. Given that the National Association of Realtors reported about 5 million existing-home sales in 2024, this suggests that roughly 24% of home sales occurred off-market.

This campaign isn’t just a Reel. It’s a chance to build trust, share your expertise, and position yourself as the agent who goes beyond what’s expected. Keep it real, keep it relatable—and don’t forget to end with a call to action that gets them to raise their hand.

Use the Video Description below as your Instagram Reel caption.

In today’s market, finding the perfect home often means going beyond what’s listed online. Most buyers don’t realize that nearly 1 in 4 U.S. home sales happen off-market (Source: BatchService). This data point was surfaced by Lance Lambert, co-founder of ResiClub:

According to an analysis by BatchService, approximately 1.2 million U.S. home sales in 2024 were conducted off-market. Given that the National Association of Realtors reported about 5 million existing-home sales in 2024, this suggests that roughly 24% of home sales occurred off-market.

This carousel post is designed to show how you provide exclusive opportunities that others can’t—and how this strategy helps you connect with serious buyers who are ready to act.

It’s not just about homes—it’s about positioning yourself as the expert with a unique process for uncovering hidden opportunities. Customize the steps to reflect your own approach—whether it’s door knocking, direct mail, or tapping into your network—and emphasize the value you bring through your connections and expertise. By the final slide, you’ll inspire confidence and position yourself as the agent serious buyers trust to deliver results.

End with a clear call to action, encouraging buyers to DM you for access to your VIP list.

If you’re working with qualified buyers but struggling to find the right homes, you’re not stuck—you’re set up for a Magic Buyer strategy.

This approach doesn’t just help your buyers; it sparks conversations, builds relationships, and uncovers off-market opportunities.

Think of this Instagram Reel script as your Magic Buyer “Roundup”—a chance to represent multiple buyers at once while positioning yourself as the agent who goes the extra mile.

As you adapt it to your audience, make sure to:

• Highlight who your buyers are.
• Provide the criteria of what they’re looking for.
• End with a direct response CTA to drive action.

This Instagram Story series is a simple yet effective way to engage your audience by answering a question many buyers have: How much does it really cost to buy a home in [AREA]? Using the Canva templates provided below, you can easily tailor this campaign to your market.

Here’s how to make the most of it:

1. Choose 3-4 areas in your market to highlight. Select neighborhoods or towns where you see strong interest or growth.
2. Pick a photo or video background of homes or listings that represent each area. You can also include local landmarks, popular streets, or scenic views to make the content feel personal and relatable.
3. Customize the text with localized down payment and monthly payment estimates for homes in each area.
4. Add a poll at the end, asking viewers which price range they’d like listings for.

Once the story is live, make sure to follow up immediately with anyone who engages with the poll. This is an extremely simple campaign to execute and can help you identify serious buyers who are ready to take the next step.

When something works, smart agents take note and adapt it for their own market. That’s exactly the inspiration behind this Instagram Reel script, modeled after Shaneé Dunbar, a Houston Realtor whose Reel went viral with over 938K views. Her simple yet compelling message—highlighting an affordable down payment and key features of a newly constructed quadplex—captured attention and generated massive engagement.

This script follows the same proven formula: showcase an attractive property, emphasize an accessible down payment, and highlight a standout feature or benefit. Pair the voiceover with eye-catching B-roll of the listing, and you’ve got a Reel that’s designed to stop scrolling and spark interest. Tailor it to your market, and let this strategy work for you.

This campaign leverages a surprising statistic to grab attention and spark curiosity.

With a simple poll, you can:

✅ Trigger curiosity from potential sellers 

✅ Identify leads who are actively considering selling 

✅ Open the door for deeper conversations about their 2025 plans

We’ve said it before—Instagram Stories are one of the best ways for uncovering hidden sellers.

This campaign is designed to trigger the consumers fear of missing out. 

By implying they should have received this report, it can elicit an emotion that they are missing out on important information. 

Which then – creates an opportunity for you to connect, engage and build a new relationship with an abandoned seller. 

This is the time of the year to take your victory lap. You’ve worked hard all year and it’s time to celebrate your milestones. This is a great opportunity to show off your results and express your gratitude. 

As you know, we’re always testing. One of the big zen learnings we’ve had recently was using multiple stories to drive up conversion. In fact a recent story I posted got 6x more engagement when I used the poll at the END, not the beginning of the story.

That’s why we’re adapting this proven tactic using this new strategy for both Instagram Stories and Instagram Carousel post.

Did you know that 65% of home sellers say they prioritize speed over price when choosing an agent?

Sellers who want to sell fast are highly motivated, making them some of the best prospects you can attract.

To win their trust and business, you need content that not only speaks to their urgency but also answers their key questions and eases their concerns. Crafting the right message can tap into the psychology of decision-making, positioning you as their go-to expert.

✅ Identify motivated leads based on their answers

✅ Build trust by offering expert insights on their options

Recent research by Zillow and The Harris Poll tells us that 65% of recent sellers completed at least two home improvement projects before listing.

This insight highlights why a video like Home Upgrades to Avoid is perfect for attracting bottom-of-funnel seller leads.

In fact, this video generated 10 times the views of her usual content by tackling this exact pain point, resonating deeply with sellers preparing to list.

Instagram Stories are the perfect platform for generating inbound seller leads. 

We know that over 80% of sellers invest in a home improvement project prior to selling. So by leveraging an Instagram story, we can provide value to our audience and uncover some hidden sellers.

We’re leveraging a recent prediction made by Goldman Sachs to create a poll to generate inbound sellers leads from instagram.

This video was posted in August of 2023 and has generated almost 43,000 views.

The reason I’m featuring it as the video of the week is because it’s the PERFECT bottom-of-funnel video that can lead to high-quality seller leads.

Boo Maddox pulled me aside after wrapping up a morning training session with Sharran to let me know that this EXACT sales question is helping unlock great conversations with prospects.

Hook:

"Hi friends, I'm [insert agent name] with [insert company name], and today I'm excited to introduce you to an extraordinary [insert number of bedrooms]-bedroom, [insert number of bathrooms]-bath [insert home style, e.g., contemporary oasis] right here in [insert location/neighborhood].

In this week’s featured video, we’ve included alternative headlines, hooks, descriptions, show structure, and channel art you can use to create a viral video like Brad's.

I’d highly recommend watching Brad’s video to get started. 

Zillow’s report shows that the average homeowner spends 6-7 months considering selling before making a move.

That’s why it’s crucial for us to consistently stay in front of them—both in their inbox and on their social feeds.

This campaign is crafted to demonstrate that we understand their journey and are ready to guide them every step of the way.

We’re going to have a busy end to 2024.

Providing timely and relevant information about what’s happening in the market right now is crucial to building trust and confidence with the consumer.

This campaign is designed to keep your database informed about what is the second-order effect of interest rates dropping and how it might lead to more inventory hitting the market in the coming months.

Conversations = Appointments.
Appointments = Listings.

Anytime there is a newsworthy event, there’s an opportunity to provide value and get people in your database to raise their hand.

When I read on CNBC that we hit another equity all-time high, I knew it was the perfect opportunity to start a conversation with folks in our database who might be considering selling.

We’ve moved from the world of information to the world of recommendation. Your customers can search for homes on Zillow, Redfin, and thousands of other sites but what they can’t find is a simple list of the best homes for sale. 

‍

Drop this poll on Instagram and start generating leads today.

This might be the best news we’ve gotten all year –

Interest rates have fallen to a 52-week low.

This is the perfect opportunity to re-engage your database and identify high-intent leads.

Ken Pozek shared an Instagram REEL that generated 600,000+ views.In the instagram REEL, he simply highlighted the recent changes to the median sales price of single family homes in the greater Orlando area.This campaign worked because the data was insanely easy to digest and he has a built in audience.My recommendation would be to boost this REEL if you have a smaller audience to get this data in front of more people.

In today’s competitive real estate market, showcasing the extensive work that goes into selling a home is essential. This not only demonstrates the unique value proposition of a dedicated agent but also helps potential clients understand the full scope of services provided. By highlighting the marketing efforts, negotiations, prospecting, and professional photography and video production involved, you can set yourself apart and attract more clients.

This campaign recently generated @modernchicagohomes over 15 high-intent seller leads from an Instagram Story. My advice is to be posting this 2-3 times a quarter. 

You’re going to love this strategy. 

We all know that unsolicited CMAs work.

What you need to do next is take your most marketable CMAs and turn them into IG stories to generate seller leads every week. 

The process goes like this:

1. Do 5-10 CMAs per week.

2. Highlight the most notable one.

3. Create a story on IG.

4. Add the poll. (see example below) 

5. DM everyone who opts in.

This is how you generate high-quality leads without paying a profit-crushing referral fee.

In today’s competitive real estate market, finding the perfect home can be challenging, especially when the best properties get snapped up quickly. The Circle Prospecting Post strategy offers a solution by engaging your social network to uncover off-market deals before they hit mainstream platforms like Zillow.

Circle Prospecting Post is a proactive social media tactic where agents announce their upcoming calls to homeowners in specific neighborhoods. This post creates buzz and interest among potential buyers, inviting them to express interest in exclusive deals.

For example: "Hi Friends, I'm going to be calling around the 223 homes in Auburn, NH this morning between 700-900k. If I come across any potential deals, should I contact you?"

This strategy benefits agents by generating new leads and building anticipation for off-market opportunities. It enhances their reputation as dedicated professionals who go the extra mile.

For buyers, Circle Prospecting Post is a game-changer. It offers access to properties not yet listed online, giving them a competitive edge. By engaging with these posts, buyers can find homes that perfectly match their needs.

In essence, Circle Prospecting Post leverages social media to maximize engagement and uncover hidden real estate opportunities, ensuring a more successful home-buying experience.

By opting in, followers get exclusive access to top listings, ensuring they stay ahead in the market. This interactive approach not only engages your audience but also generates high-quality leads, turning followers into potential buyers.

Smart agents are investing their resources into generating seller leads through paid social and display advertising 

But as advertising dollars flood the feed, we’re going to see a rise in the traditional ads like this:  

‍

When it comes to advertising, you can’t bore people into clicking. 

‍

If you want to increase your performance, you have to create unique ad campaigns that are unlike your competitors. 

‍

That’s why we put together a list of 21 Irresistible Seller Hooks that you can use in your ads, emails, postcards and websites.

Let’s get to work!

Using Instagram carousel posts to showcase a successful sale can have a powerful impact on potential clients. Highlighting key aspects such as selling a home above the Zestimate, detailed marketing strategies, high-quality photography, effective staging, and positive client testimonials can demonstrate an agent's competence and dedication.

Value of Showcasing Work:

1. Builds Credibility: Demonstrates the agent's expertise and success in the field.
2. Enhances Trust: Transparency about the process reassures potential clients.
3. Influences Decisions: Positive outcomes and satisfied customers encourage new clients to choose the agent.
4. Visual Appeal: High-quality images and testimonials make the post engaging and persuasive.
   
   

By effectively highlighting these aspects, agents can significantly influence consumer decisions, leveraging social proof and showcasing their value proposition to attract new clients.

‍

This is a 🔥 social media tactic.

‍

Leverage IG polls or a Facebook post to ask an engaging question, then DM people who respond.

‍

This is a rinse and repeat strategy that you can leverage each week to have more real estate related conversations with people who are connected with you on social media.

‍

Watch the magic unfold when you stop scrolling and start engaging.

If you're looking for an incredibly simple way to start conversations using IG polls, this is it.

‍

Here's your SOP:

‍

1. Share poll

2. DM everyone who interacts with a personalized message

3. Offer a CMA as a value-add

4. Book an appointment

‍

Lisbeth Herrera brilliantly executed this campaign.

‍

The results?

‍

11 people responded with "too small."

3 CMAs requested.

1 appointment.

‍

Let's keep building. 🚀

Vanessa Reilly shared another Instagram strategy that she's using to start more conversations on social…

‍

This "Make Me Move" IG story resulted in 5 conversions, and 1 seller nurture. 🤯

‍

Instagram Stories are fantastic for creating opportunities—and strategies like this one, using the Question box plus killer copy, make it so insanely simple to capture inbound leads.

‍

Don't sleep on stories.

‍

There's magic here. ⬇️

The typical home value ad is overused.

Over-advertised.

So let's try something different…

Most agents don’t know that you can generate seller leads with Instagram Stories. 

But there’s a catch…

If you’re going to be posting stories on Instagram, you need to be using polls and questions. 

These are simple interactive tools that turn impressions into warm leads. 

Here's an Instagram story template you can use to generate "inbound" IG leads.

All you have to do is add the poll (with no title).

Then add these poll answers:

In the last 7 days.

It's been a while.

It's been way too long.

When people respond to the poll, slide into their DMs with the following scripts:

In the last 7 days → What do you think about the value?

It's been a while or way too long → Would it be helpful if I prepared a professional home value report for you?

IG stories are a cheat code for seller leads.

You can post this today. ⬇️

Vanessa Reilly shared with me an Instagram strategy she's using to start more conversations on social media.

‍

So far, she's engaged with 3 serious buyers from this one tactic.

‍

This should 100% be a go-to tactic for the buyer agents on your team.

‍

Here's how it works:

‍

1. Create an engaging poll question (I'll drop some ideas in the comments)

‍

2. Send a DM to anyone who engages with a soft easy to answer follow-up questions.

‍

That's it!

The Deal of the Week strategy needs to be added to your weekly marketing SOPs.

It's simple, repeatable, and highly effective.‍

Brad McCallum sent a Deal of the Week email and got 20 replies.

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.

Here's the IG Poll. ⬇️

This is a great tactic by Will Draper.

‍

He asked a simple question on an IG poll—

‍

Who wants a list of all the available new construction homes in El Paso?

‍

Off of this campaign, he generated 41 inbound responses of people saying, "I'm interested in new construction properties."

‍

That's 41 leads they can DM and set an appointment with.

‍

And of those 41 leads, there likely is—at minimum—4-6 listing opportunities in there.

‍

This is how you use Instagram on buy side angles to generate sell side leads.

Here's how you can generate Instagram Seller Leads using the Zestimate. ⬇️

‍

Step 1: Always take a photo of the Zestimate before you put it in the MLS. This helps you avoid Zillow's fancy algorithm from  taking credit for your pricing strategy.

‍

Step 2: When you sell the home above the Zestimate, promote it as an IG story.

‍

Step 3: Create a poll with the question: Is your Zestimate accurate?

‍

Step 4: DM every person who responds to the poll with a CMA offer: Hey [First Name], I noticed that you responded that our Zestimate was wrong. Would it be helpful if I put together a professional home equity for your home? It will be much more accurate than an online tool.

‍

Step 5: Schedule calls to review the results with your prospects.

‍

NOTABLY: If you don't have a good example of a Zestimate, skip step 1 and 2 and go right to step 3.

If you have a qualified buyer, but nowhere for them to go, that's not a problem—it's an opportunity.
‍
That's exactly what the 2024 Magic Buyer Video is about.
‍
It's an opportunity for you to go the extra mile for your buyer.
‍
It's an opportunity for you to start more conversations.
‍
It's an opportunity for you to generate more listing opportunities.
‍
As you adapt this campaign to fit your market, your buyer, and your brand, make sure you include:
‍
1. Specific data points about who your buyer is and what they're looking for
2. Social proof to prove that you're great at your job
3. Your personal cell number
4. A direct response CTA in the p.s

The Equity Email has generated ListingLeads.com members millions of dollars in listing opportunities.

You'll notice that it's not your typical "Find Out How Much Your Home Is Worth" email.

The first sentence immediately increases the perceived value of what you're offering: I don't send an email like this often.

Then we "show the sweat" - give the reader an idea of how much work you put into creating these reports.

Then close with an offer.

Send it today and let's get you a listing appointment. :)

Here’s the reality: only 6–8% of your database is actually thinking about moving right now. Which means dialing for dollars isn’t just exhausting, it’s inefficient.

There’s a smarter play: let your marketing tell you who’s raising their hand. That’s what this campaign is built to do.

We call it “qualify through copy.” Here’s how it works:

• The subject line “What do buyers really want right now?” works as a filter. The only people opening are the ones curious about buyer demand… and those are your potential sellers.
• Once the email goes out, track your opens. That’s your call list for the week.
• The content itself delivers value: a data-backed list of what buyers want today. This positions you as the expert and keeps homeowners engaged, even if they’re not ready yet.
• Finally, the P.S.—“before you go”—is a soft call-to-action inspired by Dean Linnell’s Friday Morning Coffee Newsletter.

So don’t think of this as “just another email.” It’s a system. A subject line that qualifies, content that builds authority, and a closing line that creates opportunities. All you have to do is send it, and then follow up with the right people.

Just because it’s on the MLS doesn’t mean it’s being marketed.

That’s the gap most sellers don’t realize exists, and the one you need to own in your market. In a time when homes are rushed online with half-baked photos, no clear plan, and videos that never leave the listing page, your process should stand out like a spotlight.

This campaign was inspired by Shannon Gillette’s fantastic reel and built around a viral, share-worthy hook. It’s your chance to show your database exactly how you create demand, not just a listing, and to position yourself as the agent who brings a plan, not a hope.

Send it as-is, or add your own signature touches to show how you prepare and promote homes.

You’re not just sending an email, you’re making an offer. That’s the power of this campaign.

It’s built to surface serious buyers, fast. The subject line alone immediately qualifies your audience. If they open, they’re raising their hand.

From there, the copy is clear and direct: “I’m going to make you an offer in this email.” That line disarms people. It tells them you’re not here to waste their time, and you’re not offering another seminar, calculator, or generic home search.

Instead, you’re offering what today’s buyers actually want: A great deal.

It ends with a clear CTA: Reply “I’m Ready.”

And the P.S. adds just enough scarcity: you can only take on a few clients per month. That gives serious buyers a reason to act now.

If you have access to off-market deals, consider sending this version instead.

The Deal of the Week strategy isn’t a nice‑to‑have, it’s a weekly marketing habit worth locking into your SOPs. Simple. Repeatable. Highly effective.

This style of email has helped generate thousands of conversations within our community. Why? Because it’s built to get a response. It sparks curiosity, creates urgency, and makes it easy for people to raise their hand.

But the real win? This email is just the starting point. Repurpose it into an Instagram poll. Turn it into a quick SOI text. Now you’re taking one proven campaign and multiplying its reach, its impressions, and its opportunities.

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.

The housing market runs on speed. But buyers? They run on timing.

That’s the gap we uncovered digging into Cotality’s latest research on “Who (really) owns the homebuyer?” The process is faster than ever: instant alerts, same‑day offers, mounting competition, but most buyers say they still feel overwhelmed. Readiness hasn’t caught up with market velocity.

And here’s the problem: most agents respond by pushing harder. More urgency. More “act now.” That may get an offer written, but it doesn’t build trust.

This campaign flips that script. It positions you as the agent who slows the process down just enough for buyers to feel informed, prepared, and confident. That’s how you stand apart—and how you turn first‑time conversations into long‑term clients.

‍

Telling someone they can’t have something? Still one of the fastest ways to make them want it.That’s the psychology behind this coming soon email, and why it starts with a line most agents would never dare send:“I really shouldn’t share this listing with you…”No price. No exact location. Just a few vivid details, a sense of exclusivity, and a clear call-to-action:Text “VIP” to your number for more info.It’s short. It’s unexpected. And it works, because instead of broadcasting a new listing, you’re creating  demand before it hits the market.

You don’t need to shout to stand out. You need to say the thing buyers are already wondering, and answer it better than anyone else.

This campaign does exactly that.

“Can I make a low offer?”

It’s a question your audience might be asking. Now you get to be the one who answers with clarity, strategy, and calm authority.

It’s timely, relevant, and built to meet the market where it is—while positioning you as the professional who knows how to work it.

According to ATTOM’s latest U.S. Home Sales Report, the average homeowner who sold last quarter walked away with a 50% profit.

While it’s true that margins are down from their peak and some markets are cooling, it’s also true that many sellers, especially those who’ve owned for 8+ years, are still walking away with sizable equity gains.

This campaign helps you bring that nuance to the surface. It gives you a reason to educate, recalibrate, and start meaningful conversations with the people in your database who may be unsure what today’s market means for them.

When sellers price for the market they remember - not the one they’re in - homes sit, prices drop, or listings disappear.

This email helps you name that disconnect and start the kind of conversation that leads to smarter pricing, stronger positioning, and fewer surprises. We also added a soft P.S. for buyers—because in this market, some well-priced homes are absolute steals.

When sellers price for the market they remember - not the one they’re in - homes sit, prices drop, or listings disappear.

That’s the story behind two new reports from Realtor.com and Clever, and the reason we built this campaign.

The data is clear: 72% of future sellers think they’ll get over asking. Only 42% of recent sellers actually did. Nearly half had to cut their price. And delistings? Up 47% year-over-year.

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.

When interest rates so much as wobble, buyer psychology shifts. Not always in ways you can predict—but often in ways you can use. A modest dip doesn’t just increase affordability. It gives fence-sitters permission to act.

With the Bank of Canada’s next rate announcement coming July 30, now is the time to steady your message.

This email helps you do just that—calmly, confidently, and with purpose.

Send this email today and include a soft P.S. to invite the right people into a conversation without pressure.

A subtle shift in rates can unlock serious momentum.

When mortgage rates ease—even slightly—buyers don’t just gain affordability. They gain confidence. According to Redfin, a recent dip from 7.08% to 6.67% gave buyers with a $3,000/month budget $16,000 more in purchasing power—enough to afford a $455,000 home instead of $439,000.

That kind of shift can often spark renewed energy: faster tours, fewer concessions, more decisive offers.

Slow season? Only if you sit it out.

The best agents don’t wait for momentum. They create it.

And right now, the market just handed you a reason to re-engage homeowners in your database.

30-year mortgage rates just hit their lowest point since April.

Top agents use shifts like this to sharpen their timing and separate from the pack.

It seems like sellers everywhere want more than their home is worth right now.

Redfin just put numbers to what agents across North America have been saying for months: the typical seller is asking $39,000 more than buyers are willing to pay.

That’s the mindset we built this campaign to address.

Not by scaring people. But by walking them through a familiar (and avoidable) scenario: a high list price… a few quiet weeks… and eventually, a sale that costs them an extra $23K in holding costs they never planned for.

It’s a simple, clear way to illustrate why overpricing doesn’t just delay a sale—it eats away at their bottom line.

We based the $30K on a $700,000 home, factoring in two to three months of mortgage, taxes, insurance, and utilities. You can adjust the number to better reflect average home prices in your market.

The Bank of Canada may cut rates later this year—but buyers don’t need to wait on that to make progress. There are smart, practical ways to improve affordability right now.

The truth is, most consumers are leaving money on the table—simply because they haven’t been told what’s possible. As their agent, you can change that. You should change that.

Use this email to educate, empower, and move buyers off the sidelines with four proven rate strategies that work right now.

‍

While rates are still high, the opportunity is hiding in plain sight: better strategy, not better timing.

The truth is, most consumers are leaving money on the table—simply because they haven’t been told what’s possible. As their agent, you can change that. You should change that.

According to Realtor.com, just shopping lenders could lower a rate by 0.86%. That’s real leverage—and it’s in your hands.

Use this email to educate, empower, and move buyers off the sidelines with four proven rate strategies that work right now.

We built this campaign around a financial blind spot that’s become impossible to ignore: the rising total cost of homeownership—and how it’s prompting more Canadians to reconsider staying put. A new Ratehub.ca report shows that in 2025, the average annual cost of owning a home in Canada—excluding mortgage payments—has climbed to over $21,000.
‍

This email leans into that insight to meet clients where they are: feeling squeezed by property taxes, insurance, and upkeep. It speaks to the real questions homeowners are asking right now: Are we paying more to stay than we would to move?
‍

The message does three things:

1. Educates clients on the hidden and rising costs of ownership.
   
2. Brings clarity by offering a framework for comparing today’s costs vs. tomorrow’s options.
   
3. Provides next steps, with practical tools and a reassuring offer to help.
   

We’re not just selling homes—we’re helping people make smart, sustainable decisions.

We built this campaign around a growing pain point: first-time buyers and current homeowners often underestimate the true cost of homeownership. A recent Realtor.com report found that the top regret among first-time buyers is not getting better information about the full cost of owning a home. A Bankrate study echoes this, showing how quickly maintenance, repairs, and surprise expenses can add up.
‍

We also know that many homeowners consider selling because those costs become too much to manage.
‍

This email leans into those insights to do three things:

1. Educate buyers and sellers on what to expect financially.
   
2. Create transparency, removing friction by helping people understand what’s coming next.
   
3. Offer next steps, showing up as a helpful guide if a move is on their mind.

By meeting people at the moment when financial questions start to surface, we position ourselves not just as agents — but as trusted advisors who lead with clarity.

The Bank of Canada held its key rate steady last week—keeping prime at 4.95% and leaving variable-rate borrowers unchanged for now.

But what happens next isn’t as clear. Markets are now expecting just one cut by year-end. Fixed rates are inching up. And depending on how inflation, jobs, and trade unfold this summer, mortgage rates could land anywhere from the low 3s to the high 4s.

This campaign helps you bring that uncertainty into focus. To offer clients real context, timely insight, and the kind of steady, informed guidance they’re looking for right now.

Homeowners pulled $25 billion in equity last quarter—the highest Q1 total since 2008, according to ICE Mortgage Technology.

Because they could.

HELOC rates have dropped by 2.5 percentage points. Tappable equity has hit $11.5 trillion. The average mortgage holder is sitting on over $200,000 in accessible cash—and many are starting to use it.

Some are renovating instead of relisting. Others are consolidating debt, boosting their buying power, or helping their kids into the market.

This campaign is about meeting that moment. Helping homeowners understand what they have, what it’s worth, and what they could do with it—whether they’re ready to move now or just exploring options.

When a new policy drops—especially one tied to affordability—it’s worth paying attention.

The federal government’s new GST rebate promises up to $50,000 in savings for first-time buyers of newly built homes under $1 million. On the surface, it sounds like a big win.

But here’s the truth: the fine print matters. Eligibility is narrow, impact is limited, and most buyers won’t qualify.

Still, this announcement gives you something valuable—a timely reason to reach out. To clarify what’s changed. To explain who it helps. And to show your clients you’re not just watching the news…you’re helping them understand what it means.

When you see a stat like this—

Mortgage demand is up 18% year-over-year, even with rates at their highest since January—that’s your green light to hit send. (Source: CNBC)

Because now, you’re not just emailing to stay in touch.

You’re emailing with relevance and value.

And if you imagine sitting across from a thoughtful, financially savvy client—the kind who tracks headlines but appreciates real context—this is exactly the kind of timely information they’re counting on you to deliver.

This campaign gives you the perfect entry point to re-engage your buyers, reframe the opportunity for sellers, and remind your database that you’re the one watching the trends—and making sense of what they actually mean.

If it doesn’t already, the “Deal of the Week” should live in your weekly SOPs. Every week, find the hottest new listing in your market - and turn it into a reason for people to stop, share, and engage.

We know: you can’t always get the listing agent’s permission to share the photos of your Deal of the Week. That’s why we created this template.

Follow the instructions below on how to edit the template in Canva and post to Instagram.

• Filter for new listings (within the last 7 days)
• Focus on your target price point

‍

There’s one thing you can never afford to skip in a sales script: destroying the objection in the consumer’s mind. And right now, this one might sound familiar: “Selling just isn’t a priority with the holidays coming up.”

That’s why this text is built on a simple, reliable formula:

Destroy the objection.
Bring something new.
Offer a soft, low-pressure CTA.

You’ll find two versions of the script below: a clean, plug-and-play version for anyone… and a personalized version with hook ideas if you want to go deeper.

Translation for sellers:

• Your first 72 hours get the most attention you’ll ever see.

• Buyer interest falls fast once a listing sits.

• Correcting the price later doesn’t create a second launch.

This is important info for you to communicate. But with the wrong energy, it can come across as off-putting.

So we softened the approach in this email, and framed it with a simple piece of advice: think like a buyer.

Every year, Spotify Wrapped reminds people of one thing: the story you lived is worth seeing. And when a trend grabs this much attention, smart marketers don’t ignore it.

This campaign takes a format your audience already loves and turns it into a snapshot of your year in real estate.

This carousel gives you your own “Wrapped,” designed to stop the scroll, spark engagement, and remind people what you actually do all year long.
