This script changes the approach. It validates their frustration and shifts the conversation from what went wrong to how to make it right. Instead of pushing, it opens the door to a real dialogueâone that positions you as the agent who actually understands their challenges.
Use this script to disarm objections, build trust, and start conversations that lead to listings.
Most buyers have no idea what it actually takes to afford a home. They scroll listings, see the price, and assume itâs out of reachâwithout ever running the numbers.
Thatâs why this post works. It doesnât just show a homeâit makes the math real. It answers the #1 question buyers have: Can I afford this?
Inspired by Selene Hannaâs viral Instagram Reel, weâve turned her script into a high-performing carousel. The best part? You can use it to market your own listingsâor someone elseâs (with permission, of course).
Ready to start conversations with serious buyers? Letâs dive in.
Most agents think trust is built in big momentsâan incredible listing presentation, a perfectly staged home, a well-executed negotiation. But trust isnât a switch you flip. Itâs a slow burn. Itâs built in the moments when youâre not selling, just showing up with value.
Thatâs what this email does. No push. No pressure. Just sharp market insights your clients will appreciate. Over time, these touchpoints add up. They create familiarity, confidence, andâwhen the time is rightâa listing opportunity.
ListingLeads member Anthony Malafronte saw it firsthand:
"Three new listings are coming on in the next couple of weeks! All using these tools and tactics. One we cultivated through email only, the owner is hearing impaired (the best listing appointment I have ever been on), I'm not sure we'd have made it happen without this group. When we met, the owner felt comfortable with our commitment to the business, our knowledge of the market, and our ability to market his home. The consistency with which we shared info, and weren't annoying but smart and helpful. Was what he shared with us."
This email was inspired by a recent Redfin article highlighting a surge in homebuyer interest. Market activity is shifting, and staying in front of your clients with timely, relevant insights is how you build trustâlong before theyâre ready to make a move

This email was crafted by pulling insights from recent articles in The Financial Post, The Globe & Mail, and BNN Bloomberg. The Bank of Canada has cut rates seven times, yet demand hasnât surged to match. Buyers are cautious, and the market is shifting in ways that create new opportunities.
Staying in front of your clients with timely, relevant insights is how you build trustâlong before theyâre ready to make a move.
Letâs get into it.
Hereâs something most agents miss: The best time to market isnât after the saleâitâs while the momentum is still building.
Recently, my buddy Tre sent me a DM that proves it. He wrote a simple letter for his agent to send out after an Open House. The result? 50 letters. 2 listings.
This approach blends two of the strongest strategies we use at ListingLeads.comâthe Magic Buyer Letter and Storytelling Just Sold. When you combine urgency with a compelling story, people pay attention.
Hereâs the letter. Use it. And more importantlyâstart treating every listing like a launching pad for the next one.
Most âJust Soldâ posts focus on the numbersâsale price, days on market, multiple offers. But this? This is about the moment a seller realizes their home is officially sold. The relief. The excitement. The deep breath after weeks (or months) of waiting.
Inspired by Bridgette Harringtonâs viral reel, this isnât about dataâitâs about the human side of real estate. The emotions, the milestones, the stories that make this job so rewarding.
This reel captures that moment. And trust me, itâs the kind of content people feelâwhich is exactly why it resonates.

Pricing your home too high might feel like a smart moveâyou can always lower it later, right? But in reality, overpricing can do more harm than good.
The first week on the market is everything. Thatâs when serious buyers are searching, ready to make offers. But if your price is too high? You risk getting ignored, losing momentum, and ultimately selling for less than if you had priced it right from the start.
This carousel breaks down why overpricing is riskyâand how to price strategically to attract strong offers.
In times of uncertainty, your past clients arenât just looking for market updatesâtheyâre looking for reassurance. The recent news around U.S./Canada tariffs and economic shifts has left many wondering what it all means for them.
This is a great moment to check in, not to sell, but to show youâre there as a trusted resource. A simple, open-ended question like âHow are you feeling about the market right now?â invites conversation and reminds them youâre paying attentionâso they donât have to navigate it alone.
Hereâs how to reach out in a way that feels natural and valuable.
Mortgage demand just jumped 20% in a single week. Thatâs not just a numberâitâs a reason to reach out.
Buyers are watching rates closely, and with more of them jumping back into the market, competition is heating up. This shift could mean stronger offers and better opportunities for sellersâbut only for those who are paying attention.
Now is the perfect time to check in with prospects and spark a conversation. A simple, easy-to-answer question like âHave you been keeping an eye on the market?â can open the door to a meaningful discussion.
Send this text to 25-50 prospects.

Itâs okay to feel uncertain right now. Your clients are feeling it, and if youâre being honest, you probably are too. The constant headlinesâtrade tensions, tariffs, economic shiftsâmake it hard to know whatâs next. And when things feel unpredictable, itâs natural to hesitate.
But uncertainty doesnât mean pressing pause. It means leaning into what doesnât changeâyour expertise, your ability to guide, and the trust youâve built with your clients. They donât need all the answers right now. They just need someone who can help them understand their options and make decisions with confidence.
Mortgage demand just jumped 20% in a single week. Thatâs not just a numberâitâs a signal.
Buyers are paying attention. A dip in rates has pulled more of them back into the market, and that momentum could mean more competition, stronger offers, and better opportunities for sellers.
Real estate moves in cycles, and smart buyers and sellers move with it. The key is knowing when to act.
Hereâs what this shift means for your clientsâand how you can help them stay ahead.
Most FSBO sellers think pricing is just about their home. But buyers donât see it that way. They compare every listing in the market before making a moveâand if a home doesnât stack up, they scroll right past it.
â
Thatâs why this Reel works. Instead of telling FSBO sellers their price is wrong, it helps them see why pricing strategically matters. It gives them a buyerâs perspective, shifts their mindset, and naturally leads to the CMA offer as the solution.
â
The goal? Provide value first, spark awareness, and make it easy for them to take the next step.
At this point, the FSBO seller has likely had some level of interestâbut interest doesnât equal a sale.
Letter #3 is where you introduce a no-risk solution: a 30-day listing agreement designed to get them across the finish line. No long-term contracts, no pressureâjust a smart, performance-based approach that removes the biggest barrier FSBO sellers have about working with an agent.
By now, they know youâre not just another agent trying to âwin the listing.â Youâve provided value, built trust, and positioned yourself as a problem solver.
By now, the FSBO seller has likely dealt with lowball offers, pushy agents, or worseâradio silence. And if their home isnât moving, theyâre starting to wonder why.
Thatâs where this letter comes in. Letter #2 in the sequence shifts the conversation to pricingâone of the biggest pain points for FSBO sellers. Instead of telling them theyâve priced it wrong, this letter leads with empathy, highlights the risk of guessing, and offers a free CMA as a straightforward, no-pressure solution.
The goal? To make it easy for them to say yes. No obligation, no catchâjust valuable data that helps them make smarter decisions. And when they realize they need more than just numbers? Youâre already the agent they trust.
Most FSBO sellers expect agents to pressure them into listing. Thatâs why most direct mail from agents goes straight into the trash.
If you want to stand out, you have to do something different. Instead of pushing for a listing, this letter builds trust by meeting sellers where they areâacknowledging their frustrations, offering value, and positioning you as a helpful resource, not just another agent looking for a deal.
This is letter #1 in a three-part sequence. The goal? To shift their perception of you from âjust another agentâ to someone they can actually trust. No sales pitch, no scare tacticsâjust practical advice that makes them feel more confident in their sale.
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 thereâs a lot more at stakeâhidden costs, contingencies, and tricky negotiations that can cost them thousands. The problem? FSBO sellers donât always see these pitfalls coming until itâs too late.
This email positions you as the guide they didnât know they needed. By educating them upfront and offering a free CMA, youâre not just providing valueâyouâre giving them the clarity and confidence they wonât 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.
