Email Campaigns
Most FSBO sellers think the hardest part is getting an offer. But in reality? The toughest part is knowing what to do next.
Many sellers assume price is all that matters. But once the offers start rolling in, they realize there’s a lot more at stake—hidden costs, contingencies, and tricky negotiations that can cost them thousands. The problem? FSBO sellers don’t always see these pitfalls coming until it’s too late.
This email positions you as the guide they didn’t know they needed. By educating them upfront and offering a free CMA, you’re not just providing value—you’re giving them the clarity and confidence they won’t get from an online estimate. No sales pitch, just real help. And when they hit a roadblock? You might be the first person they think to call.
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.
The market isn’t as chaotic as it used to be. And it’s giving buyers something they haven’t had in years: options.
Homes are sitting longer. Bidding wars are cooling. And buyers are starting to realize they have more room to breathe—and negotiate.
This campaign helps you reframe the narrative.
Not with hype. Not with urgency. But with insight.
Bright MLS data shows nearly 40% of buyers found a home in under 30 days—and half only made one offer.
That’s a massive shift from the chaos of the past few years.
This campaign helps you reframe the narrative.
Not with hype. Not with urgency. But with insight.
This campaign was inspired by a recent Financial Post interview with veteran mortgage broker Ron Butler, who called this “maybe the softest spring market in decades.” Then he said something most people wouldn’t expect: “And that might actually be a good thing.”
That’s the opening we ran with.
Because slower doesn’t mean stalled—and soft doesn’t mean broken. This email gives your audience a clearer lens: one that helps them see today’s market as something to better understand.
Use it to reframe the conversation, bring steady perspective, and remind your database that strategy still wins—especially in markets like this.
This campaign was inspired by a new report from ATTOM analyzing 47 million home sales over the past decade. The data points to one clear trend: homes that close in May sell for the highest premium—on average, 9.5% above market value.
That kind of insight doesn’t push someone to list tomorrow—but it does plant a seed.
Most sellers take weeks, even months, to make a move. Which means timely, relevant data like this helps you show up early—before they’re even raising their hand.
Use it to educate, build trust, and stay in their corner until the timing feels right.
This version of the Anti-Fear Campaign is built specifically for declining markets. It helps Silver Tsunami sellers zoom out and see the bigger picture: the decades of equity they’ve built, the financial cushion they still have, and the flexibility they’ve earned.
When the headlines scream collapse, this message brings calm. It reframes fear with facts, and reminds longtime owners that even in a down market, they’re not starting from zero — they’re starting from strength.
Fear-based headlines get clicks. But they don’t help your clients make clear, confident decisions.
This campaign is designed to counter the noise with calm, credible context — especially for longtime homeowners who remember 2008 and worry we’re heading there again.
You’ll use data from major financial institutions to reframe the narrative and bring reassurance to sellers who are watching the market but unsure what to believe. It’s not about hype. It’s about perspective — and positioning yourself as the steady guide in a noisy moment.
More listings are getting price cuts this spring—but what that means depends entirely on how you explain it.
Look at the data in your local market to figure out how many homes took a price cut last month. Plug that into this template.
The stat is important. But the story you tell around it? That’s what builds trust.
This isn’t about panic—it’s about how you coach clients through the shift:
— Show them why price cuts don’t always signal weakness
— Reframe expectations around timing, negotiation, and demand
— Be the calm in the chaos
This campaign gives you the data—and the script—to do exactly that.
ResiClub just dropped a breakdown every agent should see: 33.9% of active listings in March had a price cut—the highest share in years.
At first glance, it might feel like a warning sign. But zoom out, and the picture changes. Even during the 2021 buying frenzy, nearly 1 in 5 listings adjusted their price.
This isn’t about panic—it’s about how you coach clients through the shift:
— Show them why price cuts don’t always signal weakness
— Reframe expectations around timing, negotiation, and demand
— Be the calm in the chaos
This campaign gives you the data—and the script—to do exactly that.
Most agents send a Just Sold once—right after the deal closes. Then they move on.
But here’s the truth: you can send it weeks (even months) later and still spark listing appointments. Why? Because what sellers need isn’t just a headline—they need to see how you got the result.
This email campaign does exactly that. It walks readers through the full story of the sale: why the sellers reached out, how you prepped the home, the pricing strategy, marketing plan, negotiation, and final outcome. Step by step. Real. Relatable. Strategic.
When you show the work behind the win, you don’t just get credit—you get calls.
Here’s a pro tip that can transform your listing pitch—and your lead gen.
Every time you walk into a new listing, snap a few iPhone photos. The worse, the better. When the pro shots come back, you’ll have a clean before-and-after—same angle, same room, completely different story.
Then? Turn it into an email campaign like this one.
Because when sellers see the difference prep and presentation make, they stop asking about price—and start asking how you got that result. This is how you turn one win into your next three listings.
The Bank of Canada hit pause—holding the policy rate at 2.75% for the first time in a year.
That move might seem small. But for your clients, it creates a big question mark. Rates didn’t drop. Confidence didn’t return. And headlines didn’t get any clearer.
Which means your role just got more important.
Right now, buyers and sellers are waiting for someone to help them interpret what this actually means. Use this campaign to do exactly that—to be the voice of calm, clarity, and next steps in a market full of mixed signals.
A brand-new survey from Realtor.com, released April 14, reveals something surprising: 70% of potential sellers still believe it’s a good time to sell.
On the surface, that might seem disconnected from reality—especially with consumer confidence at a 12-year low and recession fears looming.
But sellers aren’t waiting for perfect conditions. They’re driven by life events, equity gains, and the urgency to move forward.
Even now, we’re selling over 12,000 homes a day.
This campaign helps you speak directly to that motivated seller—the one who needs clarity.
Keep your head in the game. The consumer needs you more than ever.
Confusion isn’t the enemy—silence is.
Right now, your clients don’t need all the answers. They need a trusted voice to help them make sense of the noise. This campaign is your opportunity to step in with calm, credible guidance at a time when most agents are staying quiet. Use it to:
• Acknowledge what buyers and sellers are really feeling
• Highlight what’s actually happening—rates, inventory, demand
• Reopen conversations that were paused out of fear or fatigue
Don’t wait for the market to “settle.” Show up for people now.
Most agents wait for certainty before they speak up. The best ones? They lead through it.
This campaign is designed for moments like this—when buyers and sellers are quietly re-evaluating, unsure whether to make a move or stay put. You have a short window to step in with clarity and confidence. Use this message to:
• Reignite conversations that have gone quiet
• Reframe what’s possible in the next 90 days
• Reposition yourself as the steady hand clients are searching for
It’s not about predicting the future. It’s about helping people make sense of the present.
Last week, rates dipped to their lowest level since October. Moments like this wake up on-the-fence sellers. Your job is to meet that energy and turn interest into conversation, fast.
We wrote this email as a direct response play to surface homeowners who might be open to the idea of selling before the end of the year.
Send it to your entire database today. Then, tomorrow, text everyone who opened it to start real one-to-one chats using this script.
The smart play right now is (and always has been!!) education. Buyers don’t need another market headline; they need someone to help them interpret what matters and how to act on it.
This email does exactly that. Notice how the subject line qualifies upfront, if they open, they’re at least thinking about buying before 2026. Add them to your call list this week.
The body of the email covers three specific levers buyers can watch, and act on. It’s practical, actionable, and positions you as the advisor they want in their corner.
And the P.S.? That’s the subtle pipeline builder. Acknowledge they may not be ready today, but open the door for a 6–12 month conversation.
Most of the time, buyers don’t just need the headline, they need the help interpreting what it means for them. The smart play right now is (and always has been!!) education - especially around mortgage rates.

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.
Pro-Tip: Send this email next.
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.
