Email Campaign
This “Forward to a Friend” email has been one of our top performers for years, and this new version makes it even stronger. Why? Because it does three things at once: it gives your database insider access before the listing goes public, it assumes they’re not the buyer (which lowers resistance), and it gives them a simple, clear CTA: share it with someone who might be.
That combination is why this campaign consistently drives conversations, referrals, and results.
Momentum is everything. Once you’ve sparked curiosity with your pre-appointment email, the next move is to double down - but only with the people who leaned in the first time. That’s why this follow-up is targeted to just the openers. They’ve already raised their hand. Now you fan the flame.
This email takes the intrigue even higher. The subject line flips the script with “I was wrong,” pulling readers back in. The body? It escalates the buzz, paints the home as even more desirable, and gives a clear timeline for when the official details will drop.
The beauty here is in the anticipation - you’re keeping them hooked, making them feel like insiders, and setting up the perfect runway for the launch.
Great businesses don’t wait for demand. They create it. That’s exactly why this campaign has been one of our most successful for years: no one else is doing it.
Here’s the play. Before you even walk into the listing appointment, you prime your entire database with this email. The subject line? Impossible to ignore. The copy? Turns the volume allllll the way up.
What does that do? It builds buzz, positions you as the go-to agent with insider access, and gives you a list of curious buyers before the seller has even signed the paperwork. And when you tell your clients you’ve already started promoting their home? That’s the moment you lock in trust, and the listing.

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.

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.
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 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.
