Neighbor Only Open House

Nicole Odom reached out to me to help her revamp her Neighbors Only Open House letter.

The formula we used is simple—

👉Direct and clear opening 

👉Urgency 

👉Encouraged her neighbors to bring a friend/family member

👉Added a subtext that “I’m good at my job” 

Whenever you’re creating a marketing campaign, it’s vital that you understand the emotion you’re trying to elicit and the action you want to trigger.

You should 1000% use this for your next listing.

FSBO Postcard

In 2023, the FSBO market share hit an all-time low of 7% (Source: Clever).

This is an incredibly compelling hook to use as a postcard, start conversations, and provide value.

This strategy includes a QR code, but we're going to do something a bit different…

When the consumer scans this QR code, it will automatically pull up a text message for them to send.

Here's how it works:

1. Use this website to create your QR code.

2. Select SMS.

2. Enter your number and add the message you want. 

i.e. Hi [Agent Name],

I just got your postcard and I'm curious to find out why fewer people are selling their homes by themselves.

Thanks!

3. Add it to your postcard.

Here's a text that you can use as your reply:

Hi [First Name],

Thanks for reaching out.

Here are 3 of the top reasons why:

Commission Costs: FSBO sellers often pay a commission to the buyer's agent, which can deter them from selling independently. They're doing all the work and still paying fees.

Marketing Challenges: FSBO sellers typically face difficulties in effectively marketing their properties, resulting in lower visibility and fewer offers.

Lower Sales Prices: Homes sold through FSBO frequently fetch lower prices compared to those sold by realtors, leading sellers to accept less favorable offers.

If you have any more questions, let me know. 🙏

Charlie King Magic Buyer Letter

You might already be familiar with the Magic Buyer strategy—a direct mail strategy that engages potential sellers by outlining who your buyers are and what they're looking for.

This is the Charlie King version.

Within 1 week, Charlie King had 5 calls from this letter.

S/O to Jeremy Applebaum who sent out 83 Magic Buyer Letters and landed 3 appointments.

It's simple:

1. Write a letter to homeowners who live in the neighborhood where your buyer is looking to live.

2. Provide context on the situation and be specific in describing what your buyers bring to the table.

3. Include a direct response CTA if they're interested in selling.

By directly engaging homeowners with specific details about what the buyer is looking for—and showcasing the serious intent of your clients—you not only pique interest but also position yourself as a proactive, dedicated agent.

Below you'll find two examples of this letter—the first is Charlie King's original. The second is my version.

Let's get to work.

Expired Letter

Felt like Expired letters needed a little love.

Rather than just another sales pitch, you want to connect with the homeowner on a deeper level.

Here's why this Expired letter hits different—

1. Show them that you know them. They probably have had a wave of agents reach out since their home didn't sell. Acknowledge the fact, then put yourself on the same side of the table: You're not buying it.

2. Empathize with their situation: You're frustrated, disappointed, and likely pretty annoyed…

3. Deliver the anti-sales pitch. Be objective in why their home didn't sell.

4. Personalize the pitch. Show them that you've done your research. You're invested: To sell for top dollar, there are 10 essential marketing tactics. I’ve reviewed your home on the Multiple Listing Service and you’re missing 6 of them.

5. Value > Pressure. Offer your insights and value upfront without asking anything in return.

Next time you need an Expired letter, give this one a try. 👇

Days On Market Email

S/O to Jeremy Davis from Palm Agent.

If you haven't downloaded their app, they have a killer feature that allows you to calculate the holding cost based on the sales price.

If a home is on the market for 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, 120 days—how much does it actually cost the consumer to have their property sit on the market?

Let's say, for example, that a $725,000 home is on the market for 90 days. The holding costs could be upwards of $19,000-20,000.

Most sellers wouldn't know that. In their mind, what's the big deal if it's 7 days or 45 days?

It matters because it could literally cost them thousands of dollars in equity they've earned.

This campaign is a great opportunity for you to communicate why your ability to sell a home quickly actually matters to the consumer.

TMA

Way too many agents are waiting for people to raise their hand to say they want to sell.

As a result, they're not getting the opportunities they're looking for and they're not hitting the goals they want to hit.

The TMA strategy is so incredibly simple.

Every day, 2-3 times a day, choose someone from your database or someone in your SOI, take a screenshot of their home value on Properly, HouseSigma, or Ownerly, and send this exact text message.

That's it.‍

If you do 2-3 of these every day, that will turn into 2-3 conversations per day, which will likely lead to 1-2 listing appointments a week, which will likely lead to 2-3 listings a month.

That math just works.

This has got to be in your daily SOP.

What's holding you back?

One of the challenges that comes with real estate marketing is finding thousands of different ways to ask the consumer: "Are you considering selling soon?"

For this campaign, we're using the "What's holding you back" angle to get potential sellers to raise their hand.

Here's why it works:

1. The email opens with a relevant hook about how more sellers are entering the market.

Pro-tip: Localize the inventory data for your market.

2. Including "Out of curiosity" softens the ask.

3. Multiple choice makes it easy to answer.

4. It includes a compelling p.s. with a relevant CTA for a home value report.

Put it to work.👇

Jason Wright Name Your Price Direct Mail

Jason Wright brilliantly executed the Name Your Price direct mail campaign. 

The results?

5000 sends. 500+ QR code scans. 8+ listing appointments.

And here's the thing—he only included a QR code. That's it. (see the example below)

The QR code drove traffic to a custom landing page where the consumer answers 3 quick questions:

1. The price they'd want to list for

2. Their property address

3. Their email and contact info

(He did this via a typeform survey on the landing page that integrates into Follow Up Boss)

Then he followed up immediately.

Marketing—done like this—is magic. 🔥

It's an opportunity for you to start more conversations.

It's an opportunity for you to generate more listing opportunities.

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.

Deal of the Week Text

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.

List of Off-Market/Coming Soon Homes

S/O to Jason Cassity for executing a brilliant Coming Soon strategy specifically for new construction.

Here's why this campaign works:

1. An "Early Access" angle that provides information to the consumer that they won't find online.

2. He includes a map of where the homes are located in the email.

3. He ends with a casual CTA and offer to schedule a pre-market showing.

Engagement Poll

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!

Offer 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.

Just Sold Zestimate Post

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.

Just Sold: Show the Sweat

We like to tell the consumers that selling is easy, fast and simple. 

This message gets reinforced through postcards that tout results like: 

“Sold in 3 days” or “Above Ask Price”

This devalues our service. 

So what’s the alternative? 

Show the sweat.

This is a postcard my team at Curaytor created for our client, Gretchen Coley.

Here’s what I love about this postcard: 

  1. There’s a hook “Even our clients were shocked” 
  2. We highlighted the pain the customer was experiencing 
  3. We broke down our strategy (showed the how) 
  4. We provided a specific performance metric to help reinforce the story
  5. We ended with a clear call to action

Ray Ellen Strategy

One of the smartest ways you can use your email marketing tool is to cross-promote your social media posts.

This is one of my favorite strategies implemented by Ray Ellen.

Here's how it works:

1. Find a notable listing in the MLS (or Off-Market).

2. Write a brief post about it on social media with a CTA to DM you if they're interested.

3. Send an email blast to your database LINKING to your social post. 

This is something you could do SEVERAL times a month to generate inbound opportunities. 

Ask Ray. It works.

Exclusivity Ends in 24 Hours

When you have a Coming Soon listing and you hit the 24 hours before it goes live, send this email.

Here's why it works so well:

1. It creates urgency. The goal of the subject line, "Exclusivity ends in 24 hours" is to get as many people to open the email as possible.

2. It piques curiosity. Share some info, but not all the info. Share one photo (the "money shot") but not all the photos.

3. It has a strong CTA. Don't drive them to a website. Get them to call.

I'm about to go meet a potential seller

This is rarely talked about in the real estate marketing world but one of the best ways to attract high-quality seller leads is by doing high-quality marketing of your current listings.

It's a simple way to add incredible value to both potential buyers and your seller. ⬇️

Forward to a Friend

In his book Viral Loop, Adam L. Penenberg profiles the rise of Hotmail, and tells the story of how it happened.

To help spread the word about Hotmail, they added this line...

"p.s. I Love You. Get a free email at Hotmail.com" 

That small hook at the end of the message created a hockey stick growth for them. 

So here's the zen learning…

The people in your database may not be buying today but they know someone who is. 

More importantly, they can introduce you to a new prospect with the right hook.

Value Based Voicemail: Market Updates

This circle prospecting script landed Gretchen Coley a $3.4M listing opportunity.

Here's why it works:

1. Relevant, hyper-local market data that gives a reason to reach out.

2. Incorporating the "Bandwagon Effect"—a psychological principle that argues that we're more likely to do things if we know that other people are already doing it.

3. Excellent use of the magic words "One more thing…" with a CMA offer even if they aren't thinking about selling.

Next time you discover a local market trend that prospective sellers need to know about, try this script.

Value Based Voicemail: Just Sold Strategy

Every time you sell a home, it's an opportunity to circle prospect around the neighborhood and execute what we call the Value-Based Voicemail strategy.

The strategy is simple—

1. Give them valuable information about the sale that they might not find online.

2. Ask them if they know of anyone who's thinking about selling, to have them give you a call.

This exact script landed Connie Carlson another listing opportunity just after she sold her listing $40K over the asking price.

The Matchmaker Strategy

This is a tactic we like to call The Matchmaker Strategy.

Here's how it works:

1. After you sell a property, call your buyer leads using the first script.

2. Then, after you call your buyer leads, call homeowners in the area using the next script.

It's that simple.

Try it and see if it works for you.

Listing Appointment Script

Don’t wait until you secure the listing to start building relationships with the neighbors.

Here’s a technique to implement as soon as you book the listing appointment:

1. Build a list of nearby homes using a tool like Propstream.

2. Enrich the list with contact information (skip tracing).

3. Use the following script to make calls and send personalized emails.

If the first time the neighbors hear from you is when you’ve sold the home, you’re missing valuable opportunities.

By consistently engaging with neighbors at each stage of the listing process, you’re doing more than selling a home—you’re building your listing pipeline.

This strategy can effectively transform one listing opportunity into two or three additional ones.

One More Thing: Referral Script

Asking for referrals can feel hard.

This script reframes the typical referral script.

From there, make a genuine offer to help someone in their network.

Try it out. ⬇️

One More Thing: Hidden Sellers

One of the ways you can find hidden sellers is by using the right script when you call your buyer leads.

Now, when most agents call their buyer leads, they ask, "Do you have a home to sell?" in hopes of getting the listing appointment.

The problem? Most consumers will immediately put up a wall.

Because they're contacting you to schedule a showing, to try to find a home—most of them don't want to talk about putting their home up for sale just yet.

So here's what to do instead:

Instead of asking that question at the beginning of the conversation, use the following script after you book the appointment.

This simple swap will lead to significantly better results.

If I could find you an off-market cash buyer...

Chris Voss talks about a negotiation technique he calls an Accusation Audit. It's an preemptive approach that defuses any negative thoughts the other side might be thinking by proactively addressing them.

Here's the script you can copy/paste.

1:1 Market Update

How do you generate more listings?

Have more conversations.

Here's how:

Professional agents study the market daily, but most don't do anything with that insight unless asked.

Here's what I want you to do:

The next time you review recent sales, text someone in your SOI who lives near that property.

This is a 1 to 1 market update that is…

Easy to digest.

Personalized.

Relevant.

When you get a response, provide them with all the information about the sale and offer a free home valuation report.

Start doing 5 of these a day and watch the magic happen. 🚀

Take your most marketable CMA and turn it into a direct mail campaign 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. Send out this direct mail letter.

Pro-Tip: Include your selling programs on the right side of the letter so they know their selling options.

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

The Yellow Letter Strategy: Truth In Marketing

There's power when you tell the truth in your marketing.

Total spend, $1,200.

We targeted 1,000 neighbors who had owned their homes for more than three years and had a property value of over $1.5M.

Here’s why it worked:

1. We had social proof (“Your neighbor hired us”).

3. We shared a relevant statistic that piqued their curiosity.

Most importantly, we had a clear and direct call to action targeted towards serious sellers.

ZVA

This strategy is called Zillow vs Agent.

(S/O to Jacob Stark for executing this strategy.)

First, a question for you: What happens to the Zestimate when you list a property?

Right—it changes to the list price.

Talk about the biggest punch in the gut.

If you list a property for $500,000 and you sell it for $500,000…it doesn't appear that you did anything. You simply sold it for the Zestimate.

What most people don't realize is that maybe two weeks ago, the Zestimate was $430,000.

But you had no record of proof that you actually sold that property for $70,000 above the Zestimate.

Here's how to take advantage of that—

Before you put the home in the MLS, take a screenshot of the Zestimate.

Then after you sell it, you have a before and after to showcase how great you are at your job.

Here's the exact copy to use in your letter.

direct-mail-templates
ZMA

1 listing appointment, 120 letters sent.

Here's how the ZMA works:

1. Print out a screenshot of their Zestimate

2. Add a handwritten sticky note with the CTA—Would you sell for 10% more than this? (feel free to adjust based on your market)

3. Mail to your farm. Handwritten is better than mass-produced.

Pro-tip: Use Propstream to build your list and use the following parameters:

7+ years

4%+ interest rate

Owner occupied with 30%+ equity

Of course, feel free to adjust based on your own knowledge of the market.

Just Sold

Just Sold Letters + Circle Dialing works.

The following campaigns resulted in multiple listing appointments.

Here's the pro-tip:

1. Build a targeted list. Ideally, homes that fit in your local "sell-box."

2. Create a campaign that provides information the consumer can't find online (i.e. # of offers, # of showings, etc.) with a simple and clear call-to-action. Don't include the final sale price—that gives potential sellers a reason to call.

3. Make your offer clear and compelling.

And finally, don't wait for the inbound calls. 

Hit the phones to follow up. 

This needs to become an SOP every time you sell a home.

Neglect Strategy

You're either going to love or hate this strategy…

We've all heard the stat that 87% of consumers say that they'd work with their agent again, but only 12% do. (Source: NAR)

We sent this letter to 1,497 North Hills homeowners. Total cost, $1,047.

That's why when you have buyers who are looking in a specific neighborhood, send out a direct mail campaign that describes who they are and what they're looking for.

Magic Buyer Letter

Every buyer is an opportunity to get a new seller. The Magic Buyer letter is simple:

  1. Write a letter to homeowners who live in the neighborhoods where your buyers are looking to live.
  2. Be specific in describing who your buyers are and what they're looking for.
  3. Encourage these homeowners to contact you if they're interested in selling.

One of the best ways to turn your recent sales into more listings is to use a technique we call: Market your marketing.

35,234 people saw this on Facebook is an irresistible hook.

This is more than just a success story, it's proof that you're great at your job.

By highlighting a specific marketing metric, you demonstrate your ability to get their home in front of more prospective buyers—something sellers value a lot.

So the next time you sell a home:

Take a single WOW metric from your advertising or marketing campaigns.

Send this email.

Then, record a video and share it on social media.

Then, mail a letter to nearby neighbors.

Rinse and repeat.

Selling is a bad idea

The thought "selling is a bad idea" has crossed the mind of nearly every seller at some point.

Rather than resorting to the usual "now is a good time to sell" pitch often used by Realtors, let's tackle the issue directly.

Selling your home is painful.

It's emotional.

It can be overwhelming.

And it costs $$$.

Even when it's easy, it's not.

There's an adage in marketing, a small admission is how you gain large acceptance.

So let's address the pain head-on.

This campaign can also be used for a direct mail letter and a short-form video on social media.

What's your plan? [Land & Expand]

This is a strategy we call "Land & Expand."

It's a technique to bridge the gap between marketing and sales. Which means, you'll send a marketing email to a targeted list with a targeted message. Then follow-up with a text:

Hi [First Name], 

Hope you’re well my friend. I just sent you an email. 

Let me know if you fall into bucket #1, #2 or #3 🙏

Chances are they'll get the text before they see your email. So you'll start the conversation via text, prompt them to check their email, and hopefully respond to your text to continue the conversation.

The goal of this strategy is to get a good sense of where your past clients fall in their seller journey as you think about your sales pipeline.

Are they 6-12 months out from selling?

2-4 years from now?

Maybe more?

As you get more information and more context about their plans, add those notes to your CRM and start to be helpful right now to help them achieve whatever it is they want to achieve this year.

Rent vs Sell

You probably have potential sellers in your database who are curious about whether they'd benefit more from renting or selling.

So, why not speak directly to this particular prospect and offer them a Rent vs Sell Analysis?

Favor

We all know that reviews matter.

But if we're honest, most of us might miss the opportunity to capture the story and the sentiment from a happy client after the transaction.

This is an email you can send to your past clients immediately after you help them complete the transaction.

The best part?

It actually includes five questions to make it easier for them to leave a review.

Be sure to include the link to where they can write the review, right in the email.

If you do success stories with your past clients, you can also use these questions in your interviews.

Deal of the Week: AI Whiteboard

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.

These {{Area}} Suburbs Will Explode in 2026 (Get In Early)

Every so often, a video goes viral. And when Levi Lascsak’s breakdown hit the ListingLeads Viral Leaderboard with 10X his usual view count, it told us something important: buyers are hungry for clarity on where the real opportunities are hiding.

That’s what inspired this script.

Instead of pushing the same overexposed neighborhoods, you’re walking viewers into the suburbs that are actually positioned to surge, backed by growth data, major projects, and price shifts buyers haven’t caught onto yet. It’s strategic, it’s timely, and it meets people right where their curiosity is already rising.

Use this intro to frame the video as more than a market update, it’s a roadmap to the areas set to move fastest in the year ahead.

High-Status CMA Prospecting Text

This text works because it turns a simple follow-up into a high-response moment. Everyone who opened yesterday’s email is your prospecting list for this script.

The apology is the hook. It feels human, unscripted, and disarming.

Most agents close with low-status lines like “Let me know” or “Just following up.” Those phrases put you in a waiting position. High-status phrasing, the kind Mark Satterfield teaches, flips that dynamic. It shows confidence, direction, and leadership, exactly what clients want from an agent.

A unique advantage for sellers (CA)

Shannon Gillette recently put a spotlight on a familiar December dilemma on Instagram: Should you take your home off the market for the holidays? That's what inspired this campaign.

When many sellers pull their listings, the homes that stay active stand out and attract more serious attention. And buyers are still in the game - RE/MAX Canada reports that one-in-10 Canadians expect to buy a home in the next 12 months.

This timely campaign helps you show sellers the leverage hiding in the “slowdown” and guide them toward a clearer, more confident end-of-year decision.

The Likability Prospecting Text

Anyone who opened yesterday’s email is your prospecting list for this text. They’ve already shown interest - that’s all the qualification you need. This message is designed to follow up that signal in a way that feels personal, intentional, and low-pressure.

The key phrase here is: “The last time we talked you mentioned…”

Vanessa Van Edwards, a famous psychologist, teaches that this line immediately increases likability because it shows you listened and remembered. In real estate, being likable and competent builds trust quickly.

The hooks provided are simply examples, use the one that matches your actual past conversation with this person. The goal is to reference something specific, then end with an open, non-pushy question.

Pro-tip: Send this as a text or a 1:1 off-the-cuff video. It doesn’t need to be polished, authentic always beats produced.

Reasons to be optimistic (CA)

Clarity is a power tool in this market. Your potential sellers are absorbing headline after headline, piecing together their own story about what’s happening (and that story usually leans negative). Whoever controls the narrative controls the market, and that's what we're doing here.

First, we mirror what many homeowners are already thinking: “Maybe we should wait to list.” That’s the hook that earns trust. Then we shift the energy with simple, data-backed reasons for optimism.

The campaign flows naturally into the three insights and a soft P.S. offering a home value check.

IG Reel: A Slower Sale is Normal

This Reel is for the sellers who are feeling anxious, and for the agents who want to speak to that emotion with honesty.

The campaign was inspired by a fantastic post from Shannon Gillette, who nailed what so many homeowners are feeling right now: “We’re doing everything right… so why hasn’t it sold?”

We took that message and reshaped it into a simple, text-based Reel you can post as-is with a reassuring message that normalizes slower sales and reminds sellers: it’s not just you, this is the market.

Update the “average days on market” to match your area, choose a reflective or trending audio, and post it.

This is a goood deal in [Neighborhood]

If your Story views are strong but engagement is flat—this is the format to fix it.

We’ve been testing all kinds of ways to bring the “Deal of the Week” to Stories—and this one's a keeper.

It’s visual. It’s clever. And it mimics a play we’re seeing everywhere from top influencers: tease the value, show a receipt (like listing views), then drop the link behind an emoji.

Why does it work? Because it builds curiosity before it asks for action.

You’re not shouting “BUY!”—you’re drawing attention to demand. That alone makes this feel less like an ad, more like a can’t-miss opportunity.

The best part? You only need one slide. A Zillow screenshot. A few strategic details. A clear price anchor. 

And everyone who clicks? That’s your follow-up list.

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.

Use this format to test urgency, stay visible with buyers, and stay top of mind.

IG Poll: Let’s find some deals

Customize the options based on what buyers in your market are actually searching for, then post.

When responses come in, check your DMs and follow up with confidence.

Why Clients Choose [Your Team] When the Stakes Are High

You’re not just selling homes. You’re selling certainty—in a market full of doubt.

The mistake? Thinking your experience speaks for itself. It doesn’t. Not anymore.

We saw this video by Dewayne Carpenter—just 90 seconds, no fluff, no hype—and it stopped us cold. It framed experience not as ego, but as an edge. And it did what most agent videos don’t: it made us feel the value of working with someone who’s done the reps.

So we reverse-engineered it.

We broke down the structure, reworked the beats, and wrote you a script that’s ready to record—without sounding like a script. Something you could put on your homepage, pin to your YouTube channel, or use as a trust-building asset when someone’s deciding whether to hit “schedule a call.”

This isn’t about flexing your résumé. It’s about translating experience into language the consumer actually understands—and values.

Use this to show—not tell—why working with you isn’t a gamble. It’s a shortcut.

IG Poll: How often do you check Zillow?

Inventory's up. Some buyers are paying closer attention—but they haven’t all told an agent they’re looking.

Pro tip: Anyone who taps the poll is showing interest. Send them a quick DM to start the conversation.

Note: You can swap “Zillow” with Realtor.ca, HouseSigma, or whatever’s most familiar to your audience.

Deal of the Week Social

We’ve been testing a lot of ways to bring the Deal of the Week strategy to Stories—and this one’s a winner.

It’s simple. Swipeable. And engineered to build momentum before the CTA hits.

Instead of leading with a poll (which can feel rushed), we let the story unfold over 3 slides—hook → details → standout features—then drop the poll. That structure alone gave us 6x more engagement in recent tests.

The best part? This is one of those rare story templates that works whether you're showing your face or not. You can record a walkthrough, use listing photos, or keep it text-only and still make it feel personal and high-value.

We pulled the hook from one of the 1,200 top-performing Instagram creators we track at Listing Leads—and built the rest to help you execute fast.

Use it to spotlight hidden gems, test urgency-driven content, or just stay top of mind with serious buyers.

FB Post: Most Overrated Neighborhood?

Not every lead gen post needs to be a market update or a polished Reel.

Sometimes, the best engagement comes from a simple question that gets people talking.

This one came from Jeremy Knight—he posted it to his Facebook page and the comments took off. It’s bold enough to spark reactions, but casual enough to feel like a real conversation starter:

“A client just asked me what [Area]’s most overrated neighborhood is. 😳
I think I know the answer…what do you think?”

It’s light, local, and designed to stir the pot just enough.

Post it on your page. Better yet—drop it in your community Facebook group.You’ll learn what people really think—and keep yourself front and center in the process.

IG Reel: Top 5 Most Popular Housing Markets

If you want to post a market update that actually gets attention—start here.

This Reel was inspired by Katie Day’s “5 Most Sold Neighborhoods” video, which pulled in over 15,000 views in less than a week.

Why? Because it’s simple, hyperlocal, and answers a question buyers and sellers actually care about:

Where are homes selling right now?

Use this at the end of the month to highlight the top-performing neighborhoods in your city—sales volume, average price, days on market. You can record a quick video breaking it down… or keep it simple and plug the numbers into our faceless template.

Either way, it’s a fast, effective way to stay visible, relevant, and valuable—without needing to over-explain the market.

IG Reel: The secret to getting a lowball offer accepted

The beauty of this Reel? You don’t even need to be on camera.
The caption does the heavy lifting, walking through timing, terms, and tone—while the Reel itself can be as simple as a text-based hook or B-roll with overlay.

We know listings are sitting on the market longer right now, so we thought this might be a good moment to meet the market with a message like this. It’s timely, relevant—and likely to resonate.

“I wanted to buy a home this year but about to give up because…”

After analyzing thousands of real estate creators, we’ve noticed a trend: the highest-engagement polls are often the most casual. They feel like a text from a friend, not a marketing post. That’s exactly what this story is designed to do.

Starting with “Debated not posting this…” immediately disarms your audience. It signals vulnerability and curiosity—two powerful triggers that drive replies, votes, and DMs. Pair that with a low-maintenance design and a simple poll format, and you’ve got a high-impact story that feels spontaneous but is strategically built for engagement.

Use this poll to re-engage buyers who may be silently struggling or considering stepping out of the market. It opens the door to honest conversations—and gives you a soft way to reintroduce helpful guidance.

[Your City] Propaganda I Am Absolutely Falling For

This Reel taps into a trend that’s everywhere right now (like here) — and for good reason.

It’s not just funny. It’s tribal. It’s us vs. them, but in the most charming, slightly unhinged, deeply relatable way.

“[Your City] Propaganda I Am Absolutely Falling For” is your chance to lovingly call out the oddly specific, wildly inaccurate, and completely accepted delusions your city lives by.

Think: overpriced habits, generational conditioning, chaotic seasonal rituals — all delivered like a late-night group chat that got out of hand (in the best way).

Why it works:

  • Builds instant connection with your local audience
  • Makes people laugh and feel seen
  • Reinforces that you're not just a local expert — you’re one of them

And best of all? It’s ridiculously easy to make. Swap in your city, riff on 15 local one-liners, hit post, and watch the comments roll in: “ALL OF THE ABOVE ❤️” “Felt way too seen 😭” “Okay but why is this actually true?”

Some will laugh, some will argue, and some will start adding their own. That’s when you know it’s working.

Every seller we work with has second thoughts right before we list. Here’s why →

That insight sparked this post.

“Every seller we work with has second thoughts right before we list.”

Because this is your moment to show the sweat—to spotlight the prep, the polish, the vision-building that happens before a home ever hits the market.

This carousel helps you:

  • Show off your behind-the-scenes process
  • Explain why marketing matters
  • Make a confident call to action to DM when it’s time to sell

Smart. Emotional. Sharable.That’s the kind of marketing that sells homes and builds your brand.

This Reel was inspired by a viral post from Lucky to Live Here:

“Houses that sold with the highest taxes in 2025 on Long Island.”

 It’s hyper-local, data-driven, and built for curiosity clicks.

We’ve turned that idea into a customizable Instagram Reel template for your market.

Pick the hook that fits your area best:
→ The steepest price cuts
→ The highest taxes
→ The longest or shortest days on market
→ The highest monthly payments

Then showcase 3–4 recent sales with that stat front and center. Quick to make, easy to engage—and a smart way to start conversations

1 in 7 Homebuyers Are Backing Out | [Your City] Real Estate Market Update

1 in 7 deals fell apart last month. (Redfin)

Not offers that never came in. Contracts that were accepted—and then canceled.

That stat alone gives you a reason to speak up. Because behind every canceled deal is a question your clients are already asking: Is now still a good time to buy or sell?

This video gives you a calm, data-backed way to answer it.

You’ll walk buyers through the silver linings. Show sellers where the leverage still exists. And offer a neighborhood-level perspective most agents never take the time to explain.

This is 1 of 4 homes that just had a price drop…

Price drops are happening for a reason.
Some homes were overpriced. Some sellers misread the market.

But for buyers? That shift creates opportunity.

This Instagram Story leans into what’s actually happening—without sugarcoating it. It gives buyers a reason to engage, and gives you a simple way to start real conversations based on real-time changes in the market.

Here’s the post—just plug in the neighborhood:

“This is 1 of 4 homes that just had a price drop…
…in one of the hottest neighborhoods in [City Name].
Should I send you the other 3?? They're all priced below recent comps.”

What it’s really like to sell your home when…

Selling a home is rarely as simple—or as fast—as people expect.

That’s why we created this carousel: to walk future sellers through what the process actually feels like. The decisions, the doubts, the waiting, the wins.

It’s not meant to capture every scenario. Instead, it offers a realistic, emotionally honest timeline to help set better expectations—especially in a market where things are taking longer and patience matters more than ever.

Just one note: you’ll want to edit Slide 7 to reflect the average days on market in your area.Use it as-is—or tweak the timeline to better fit what you’re seeing with your clients.

When I tell people I live in [Area], they think…

This Reel flips the narrative—and that’s exactly why it works.

Most buyers have a surface-level impression of your area: traffic, sprawl, or sky-high prices. But that’s not the whole story. 

Inspired by Marie Lee’s viral Instagram Reel, this format is a smart way to shift perception in 7 seconds or less.

Here’s why it works:

  • It creates contrast—what people think vs. what’s true.
  • It uses humor and visual storytelling to reframe objections.
  • It builds local pride while educating your audience.

A few example angles you could use:

  • “When I say I live in East Nashville, they think I mean Broadway crowds… but I really mean tree-lined streets and neighbors who bring you sourdough.”

  • “When I say I’m in Miami, they picture traffic on I-95… but I’m really biking to a quiet café two blocks from the bay.”

  • “When I say I live in Jersey City, people think it’s just high-rises and PATH trains… but I really mean farmers markets and parks with skyline views.”

  • “When I say I live in Scottsdale, they think I mean golf courses and gated communities… but I really mean trails, tacos, and sunset hikes after work.”

Use this Reel to reclaim the narrative—and connect with buyers who want what you see every day.

Here’s what makes it effective:

  • It surfaces objections without making it about you.
  • It creates a low-risk way for followers to raise their hand.

Use it to start DMs, guide your content, and tailor your follow-ups.

Simple. Specific. Seller-focused.

SOTW: How to spot a “good deal” in [Area] →

Most buyers think a “deal” means the lowest price.

But real value? It’s more nuanced.

This carousel is designed to educate your audience.
To train their eye.
To help them understand what makes a home undervalued—even if it doesn’t look like a steal on paper.

From location perks to price gaps to hidden upside, you’re not just posting listings—you’re teaching buyers how to spot opportunity.

Pro tip: The more specific you make it to your market, the more valuable—and irreplaceable—it becomes. This is the kind of content they can’t find on Zillow.

[City 1] vs [City 2] | Which Market Is Better for Buyers & Sellers in 2025?

Side-by-side market comparisons are one of the easiest ways to create high-impact video content—and most agents overlook them.

This script isn’t just about [City 1] vs. [City 2]. It’s about helping your audience think like a buyer or seller in 2025.

When you contrast two markets:
– You simplify complex data
– You position yourself as the local expert
– You give buyers and sellers a decision-making framework

Even better? You don’t have to claim one market is “better.” You just have to show them how to choose based on their goals.

Use this script to lead with insight, build trust, and stay top of mind—because clarity is the new clickbait.

Just Sold IG Poll

Yes, your followers could look this up on Zillow. But they won’t—and they don’t want to.

That’s what makes this Instagram poll (inspired by Pip Haxby-Thompson) so effective. It’s simple: show one home that just sold for under [$] in a popular neighborhood, then ask, “Wanna see the other two?” with two easy responses:
→ Obviously
→ Yes please!

It’s low-effort for them, high-leverage for you. You create curiosity. They raise their hand. And just like that, you have a reason to DM, share a link, and start a real conversation.

Pro tip: Set up a landing page with a zoomed-in map showing the properties. It makes the whole thing feel exclusive—and positions you as the local expert who knows what’s selling, where, and for how much.

8 HUGE Changes Coming to [Your City] in 2025

This script was inspired by Olga Moreno’s “8 HUGE Changes Coming to Las Vegas in 2025!!” video—which pulled in over 18,000 views. Not because she went viral. But because she nailed what so many agents miss: people want the big picture.

This isn’t a market update. It’s a narrative.

It gives context to all the local change your audience is seeing—but not fully understanding. It answers the question behind the question: What’s happening in this city, and what does it mean for me?

Here’s how to make it work:

  • Start strong—mention the city, the year, and why this matters now.
    Use stats or headlines sparingly—this is about momentum, not overload.
  • Think like a tour guide. You’re not just selling homes—you’re showing them what’s coming.

And remember: people don’t just want listings. They want to follow someone who’s plugged in, paying attention, and thinking ahead. This video positions you as exactly that.

Underrated Neighborhoods

Not every post needs to be a pitch. In fact, some of the most powerful content doesn’t sell—it connects.

This Story is about starting light, local conversations that build trust over time. You’re not pushing a property. You’re inviting people into your perspective—sharing the neighborhoods you love, and asking them to weigh in.

Here’s why it works:

  • It feels casual, not calculated.
  • It taps into local pride and curiosity.
  • It gives followers an easy reason to reply—without feeling like they’re walking into a sales convo.

Think of this as your “talk of the town” moment. Personal, relatable, and perfectly positioned to keep you top of mind.

Is moving on your mind for 2025?

Most agents wait until someone says, “I’m ready to move” before they start the conversation.

But the truth? Serious sellers show up months earlier—with questions, hesitations, and quiet curiosity.

That’s where this poll comes in.

It’s not just engagement—it’s early detection.

  • You’ll surface potential movers before they hit the market.

  • You’ll position yourself as the go-to guide, not the last-minute call.

  • And you’ll gather real-time feedback from your actual audience—not a generic market report.

Use it to spark low-pressure conversations—then follow up with a simple DM to open the door.

Neighborhoods with…

If you hate being on camera, you’re going to love this Instagram Reel. This campaign leverages the "Faceless Creator" movement on Instagram, which is all about building a brand and generating content without showing your face or making yourself the focal point. It’s a growing trend across Instagram and other platforms, driven by creators who prefer privacy, want to reduce the pressure of being constantly on camera, or simply find it more efficient to create content this way.

Inspired by Courtney Strzelczyk’s Instagram Reel, the hook is to feature neighborhoods that have something that buyers really want (i.e. No HOA, historic character, great shopping, etc.). See the image above for example hooks (or create your own!). End with a CTA for viewers to comment if they want current listings in those neighborhoods.

How to Customize Your Instagram Reel Using Our Canva Template

We’ve created a plug-and-play Canva template to help you easily produce a professional Instagram Reel — no need to be on camera.

Inspired by Selene Hanna’s viral Instagram Reel, we’ve turned her script into a high-performing carousel. The best part? You can use it to market your own listings—or someone else’s (with permission, of course).

Pre-Foreclosure Video Script

Foreclosures are rising—here’s a video script to help you guide your clients.

The latest data from ATTOM reveals a 5% increase in foreclosure filings from the previous month, with 32,383 U.S. properties affected in February 2025. This uptick signals a shift in the market, and as a real estate professional, it's crucial to stay ahead.

Many homeowners don’t realize they have options before foreclosure happens. That’s where you come in. By recording and sharing this video, you can proactively educate your audience, position yourself as a trusted resource, and provide real solutions when they need them most.

This script is designed for you to easily record and post. It walks homeowners through:

Loan modification – Adjusting mortgage terms to make payments more manageable.
Forbearance – Temporarily pausing payments to regain financial stability.
Selling before foreclosure – Preserving equity and avoiding the foreclosure process.
Short sale – Selling the property for less than owed, with lender approval.

🎥 How to use this: Simply record yourself reading the script, personalize it with your insights, and upload it to your social platforms. To make it even easier, use the Canva template below as your video thumbnail to grab attention.

By sharing this message, you’re not just staying visible—you’re providing real value. And in a shifting market, that’s what sets top agents apart. Here’s the script to get started.

Selling FSBO. How do I…

Most FSBO sellers think pricing is just about their home. But buyers don’t see it that way. They compare every listing in the market before making a move—and if a home doesn’t stack up, they scroll right past it.

That’s 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 buyer’s perspective, shifts their mindset, and naturally leads to the CMA offer as the solution.

The goal? Provide value first, spark awareness, and make it easy for them to take the next step.

Why Pricing Your Home High Is A Risky Strategy

Pricing your home too high might feel like a smart move—you can always lower it later, right? But in reality, overpricing can do more harm than good.

The first week on the market is everything. That’s 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 risky—and how to price strategically to attract strong offers.

Most “Just Sold” posts focus on the numbers—sale 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 Harrington’s viral reel, this isn’t about data—it’s 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, it’s the kind of content people feel—which is exactly why it resonates.

Deal of the Week: You know what’s hard to find in [City]?

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.

What Does $[A] vs $[B] vs $[C] Get You in [AREA]?

There’s a reason this style of video explodes on YouTube: viewers love seeing how far their money actually goes. And the data backs it up. We recently featured this video from Justin Martinez on our Viral Leaderboard, who pulled in over 528,000 views - more than 100x his usual - using this exact comparison framework. It’s simple, it’s visual, and it keeps people watching because they want to see what changes as the price climbs.

This template tightens the concept even further. Instead of jumping across different cities, you’re stacking three price points inside the same area. Same neighborhood. Same schools. Same lifestyle—until the budget shifts. That contrast is what makes people lean in.

You can also flip the format anytime (like “What $500K gets you in A vs. B vs. C”).

Pro Tip: Weave in one of your listings to boost traction and include all the details of your listing in the description, like Justin does here.

IG Carousel: Local Black Friday Guide

Black Friday is one of the easiest moments of the year to show up as a community leader—not with salesy real estate content, but with something genuinely useful. This carousel does exactly that. You’re spotlighting local businesses, highlighting real deals people care about, and giving your audience a reason to save, shop, and share.

The angle is simple: high-value, low-effort content that positions you as the agent who knows the area and supports the community. You’re not promoting yourself; you’re promoting the businesses your followers already love.

Just plug in the deals, add the business info, and keep it clean. And don’t forget the final slide - it prompts engagement without feeling forced, which helps the post travel further.

This is local expertise in a format that’s fast to build and easy for people to pass along.

Deal of the Week: You had me at…

You had me at “exposed brick and green marble kitchen.”

That’s the line from one of Chesley McCarty’s recent Reels that went viral - and it’s the inspiration for this week’s Deal of the Week Instagram Story campaign.

Here’s how it works:

Start with one unique feature that sets the home apart. You can pull it right in the listing description - put it in quotes, and use it to complete the hook.

Then, share the photos to give people a quick visual hit of the home.

Keep the details light: only share the number of bedrooms and the neighborhood. 

Wrap it with a poll:
→ Yes please
→ Interested

Why this format works: It builds just enough curiosity to start a conversation—without overwhelming your audience or giving away the whole story.

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.

You already know the power of Deal of the Week. This version is built for Stories.

Deal of the Week: You’re gonna want to share this with someone who…

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 - whether it’s yours or someone else’s (always get the listing agent’s permission first) - and turn it into a reason for people to stop, share, and engage.

This week, we’re running a new hook: “share this with a friend.” It’s a simple line, but it’s the same psychology behind some of the most viral IG posts. Notice what’s missing too: we’re not dropping the price. Just beds, baths, and location with a clean grid of photos.

Then comes the closer: a poll. Two light, obvious choices that keep it playful while opening the door to DMs and follow-up conversations.

The formula is simple: Hook them with curiosity, multiply reach with the share trigger, and let the poll carry you straight into real conversations with buyers.

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.

IG Carousel: If I was moving to [X], I’d skip [Y] and check out [Z] instead.

Sometimes the best way to stand out is to zig when everyone else zags.

That’s why this carousel leads with a proven hook - one that pulled 852K views for Megan Parker - and pairs it with a visual, lifestyle-first approach inspired by Lucky to Live Here’s neighborhood reel. The result? A scroll-stopper that makes people curious about places they didn’t even know they should be looking.

You’re showing them what it feels like to live there, through photos that capture the streets, scenery, and everyday life. It’s the perfect way to spark conversations with locals and relocation buyers alike.

Swap in your own neighborhoods, add your photos, and make it yours. And if you’ve got a relocation guide? Drop it in the caption or offer it as the CTA, this is exactly the moment to use it.

IG Poll: Equity Update

We already know unsolicited CMAs work. But the agents who consistently generate seller leads don’t stop there—they turn their best CMAs into social content that drives action. That’s why this IG poll is one of our top-performing shareables at ListingLeads.

Here’s the play: run 5–10 CMAs a week, pick the one that grabs attention, and post it as a story. Lead with the gap—“their Zestimate was off by $39,000”—because that’s the hook that makes people lean in. Then close with the poll. Two easy, obvious options that get people to raise their hand without hesitation.

From there, the strategy is simple: DM everyone who engages and turn curiosity into listing conversations.

Deal of the Week

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.

This and…

“This and…” works because it pulls people straight into a dreamstate. Two words are all it takes for them to picture a life they want: morning coffee in the sunroom, golden‑hour dinners on the deck, a run through the park. It’s not about selling a feature; it’s about letting them feel it.

That’s why this viral hook stops the scroll. It’s simple, fast, and ridiculously flexible, perfect for highlighting a listing, showcasing a neighborhood, or sharing a lifestyle moment. Below, you’ll find a list of ready‑made hooks to spark ideas, or use them as inspiration to create your own. Pair one with a short clip or photo, and you’re inviting people into a feeling they’ll want to step into.

IG Reel: I don’t know who needs to hear this but…

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 reel and built around a viral hook. It’s your chance to show your followers exactly how you create demand, not just a listing—and to position yourself as the agent who brings a plan, not a hope.

For the reel itself, keep it simple: overlay the text on b-roll footage - like in this example - whether that’s of you, a listing, neighborhood shots, or anything that fits your brand. Then copy and paste the caption provided below, or tweak it to make it your own.

IG Poll: What’s holding you back from buying?

When something works, don’t reinvent the wheel. Sam Reifman-Packett (who you should all follow on IG) ran this exact story and walked away with 70 leads.

The formula is simple: hit your audience with a stat they can’t ignore - price reductions in their area this week - and then ask the question that matters: “What’s holding you back from buying?”

That’s it. Don’t overthink it. Don’t over-design it.

Just post it.

IG Poll: MLS Insider Strategy

Give people a peek behind the curtain.

This Story works because it feels insider. You’re literally showing your MLS screen (something most buyers never see) and using it to highlight all the recent price reductions in your area. That “backstage access” creates a powerful psychological trigger: people love feeling like they’re seeing what others can’t.

Then you keep it simple with a poll.

Ten innocent looking finishes that can make buyers think your home feels cheap

Sometimes your best content ideas don’t come from other agents, they come from the creators outside our industry who are racking up millions of views.

That’s exactly where this Reel started. We found a viral post from @emilymacleodwellness that’s been viewed 3M times, and rebuilt the format for you.

Here’s why it works:

  • “Innocent looking” hits harder than “common mistakes.”
  • It speaks directly to homeowners, and taps into a shared fear: no one wants their home to feel cheap.
  • It’s a clean listicle. Ten finishes. Scannable. Watchable. Easy to share.

The best part? You don’t have to film anything. We’ve designed this as a text-based Reel, all the content lives in the caption. Just post as-is, or swap in a background photo (or video) of yourself, a listing, or a local scene to make it feel more like you.

These {{Area}} Suburbs Will Explode in 2026 (Get In Early)

Every so often, a video goes viral. And when Levi Lascsak’s breakdown hit the ListingLeads Viral Leaderboard with 10X his usual view count, it told us something important: buyers are hungry for clarity on where the real opportunities are hiding.

That’s what inspired this script.

Instead of pushing the same overexposed neighborhoods, you’re walking viewers into the suburbs that are actually positioned to surge, backed by growth data, major projects, and price shifts buyers haven’t caught onto yet. It’s strategic, it’s timely, and it meets people right where their curiosity is already rising.

Use this intro to frame the video as more than a market update, it’s a roadmap to the areas set to move fastest in the year ahead.

High-Status CMA Prospecting Text

This text works because it turns a simple follow-up into a high-response moment. Everyone who opened yesterday’s email is your prospecting list for this script.

The apology is the hook. It feels human, unscripted, and disarming.

Most agents close with low-status lines like “Let me know” or “Just following up.” Those phrases put you in a waiting position. High-status phrasing, the kind Mark Satterfield teaches, flips that dynamic. It shows confidence, direction, and leadership, exactly what clients want from an agent.

A unique advantage for sellers (CA)

Shannon Gillette recently put a spotlight on a familiar December dilemma on Instagram: Should you take your home off the market for the holidays? That's what inspired this campaign.

When many sellers pull their listings, the homes that stay active stand out and attract more serious attention. And buyers are still in the game - RE/MAX Canada reports that one-in-10 Canadians expect to buy a home in the next 12 months.

This timely campaign helps you show sellers the leverage hiding in the “slowdown” and guide them toward a clearer, more confident end-of-year decision.

Just Sold: 112 Days on Market

Most “Just Sold” campaigns flex speed. This one shows staying power.

You didn’t panic.

You kept showing up, kept marketing, and delivered the result your clients deserved.

Use this campaign to tell that story—so future sellers know exactly who to call when the sale isn’t easy, and the stakes are high.

Have you received your 2024 home value report yet? (CA)

Nearly 30% of CMA request leads transact within 12 months, making home value reports one of the most effective tools for generating future business. This direct mail campaign captures attention with the hook, “Have you received your 2024 home value report yet?”—a question that implies homeowners should already have this information, encouraging them to reach out.

Replace the placeholder $XX,XXX with a client story where an online estimate undervalued their home. Real-life proof builds credibility and reinforces the value of your expertise.

Days On Market Emoji Postcard

S/O to Jeremy Davis from Palm Agent.

If you haven't downloaded their app, they have a killer feature that allows you to calculate the holding cost based on the sales price.

If a home is on the market for 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, 120 days—how much does it actually cost the consumer to have their property sit on the market?

Let's say, for example, that a $725,000 home is on the market for 90 days. The holding costs could be upwards of $19,000-20,000.

Most sellers wouldn't know that. In their mind, what's the big deal if it's 7 days or 45 days?

It matters because it could literally cost them thousands of dollars in equity they've earned.

This campaign is a great opportunity for you to communicate why your ability to sell a home quickly actually matters to the consumer.

Plus, it'll stand out in the mailbox.
