Your clients want to time the market. The perfect moment to sell. The lowest rate to buy. It feels like the smart move—like they’re outmaneuvering everyone else.Â
But here’s the uncomfortable truth you need to help them see: trying to time the market often costs more than it saves.Â
The pros—like you—know the market isn’t something to predict; it’s something to work with.Â
Your job is to shift their focus: does making a move this year align with their life and goals? This email will help you start that conversation.

Most sellers think putting their home on Zillow is enough. It’s not. Exposure is what drives demand, and demand is what creates the result your clients want. A listing buried among thousands won’t cut it.
The difference? A marketing strategy that works harder. Not just a sign in the yard or a post on Zillow—but a relentless, multi-channel approach that puts your home in front of serious buyers. A marketing strategy like yours.
Use this postcard template as an alternative to the traditional Just Sold postcard and highlight the specifics of how your marketing drives real results for your clients.
If you have an off-market opportunity, this is the perfect email to send to your list of buyers.
Scarcity creates demand. The moment something feels exclusive—something others can’t have—it becomes even more desirable. Off-market properties tap into this psychology, but only if you position them the right way. The mistake most agents make? They focus only on the property itself. But buyers don’t just want a home—they want an edge, too.
Most sellers assume that making updates before listing is a must. But the truth? Some renovations add value—others just drain your wallet.
This direct mail sales letter challenges the idea that every home needs a facelift before hitting the market. Instead of pushing sellers toward costly upgrades, it positions you as a strategic advisor—someone who helps them make smart decisions based on real market data. The message is clear: before they waste time and money on unnecessary projects, they should talk to you first.
To make this even more compelling, the letter includes a visual graphic highlighting specific home improvements and their return on investment. This gives sellers a quick, digestible way to see which updates actually pay off.
Pro tip: Update the ROI data based on your local market insights. Customizing these numbers will make the letter even more relevant and persuasive for homeowners in your area.
Most buyers walk into a home and see potential. They see possibilities, aesthetics, the way the space feels. But as an agent, your job isn’t just to see what is—it’s to spot what could be a problem before it becomes a regret. That’s the difference between an emotional decision and a smart investment.
Inspired by Marie Lee’s viral Instagram Reel, this perspective shift will help your clients make sharper, more informed choices.

This stat blew me away: Opendoor has purchased 30,000 homes over the last two years.
Now, why does this matter? As an agent who wants more listings, you need to identify underserved niches in the market and get the right message in front of them.Â
When I look at Reddit and other forums, sellers who choose Opendoor often mention convenience, certainty, and speed—but overwhelmingly, the biggest reason is avoiding repairs. They don’t want the hassle of fixing up their home before selling.
That’s a huge opportunity. Homeowners who have lived in their homes for 20+ years likely have repairs to make, and many believe their only option is selling to an iBuyer. This direct mail campaign speaks directly to them, showing a better alternative—you.Â
Use this letter to stop losing deals to companies like Opendoor and position yourself as the agent who knows how to get their home sold.
Most sellers assume they need to spend thousands fixing up their home before listing. But what if that’s not actually the case?
This Instagram carousel doesn’t just challenge that assumption—it proves it wrong with a real success story. Instead of pushing renovations, it walks homeowners through a real-life example of a seller who skipped the costly upgrades, found the right buyer, and walked away with $XX,XXX more than they would have made with an iBuyer.
By the end, the message is clear: before they spend a dime, they should DM you first. Real results, real strategy, and a CTA designed to start conversations. Let’s get it posted!

This Instagram carousel is designed to challenge that assumption. Instead of pushing renovations, it shifts the focus to what actually matters—buyer demand, strategic positioning, and connecting with the right buyers.
The slides walk homeowners through a counterintuitive insight: upgrades aren’t always necessary, and in many cases, skipping them can lead to a faster, more profitable sale. By the end, the CTA is clear—before they spend a dime, they should DM you first.
Simple, effective, and built to spark engagement. Let’s get it posted!
Most agents play the long game with home value leads, waiting months—sometimes years—for them to convert. But if you want to fill your listing pipeline now, you need to focus on a different group: homeowners requesting CMAs.
Why? Because 18% of homeowners who request a CMA list their home within 12 months. (Source: Fello) That’s nearly 1 in 5. And while most agents chase colder leads, this strategy puts you in front of sellers who are already thinking about making a move.
This text is so effective because it challenges assumptions. Homeowners trust online estimates, but when they see how far off they can be, it sparks curiosity—and that curiosity turns into conversation.
Send this text to 25 people in your SOI today. The opportunities are out there. You just have to start the right conversation.

Most agents wait for homeowners to ask about their home’s value. But the best agents don’t wait for permission to be helpful. They anticipate the need and show up with value—before the homeowner even thinks to ask.
That’s what makes this text so effective. Instead of offering a generic CMA, you’re telling them you’re already working on it. It’s proactive, it’s personal, and it naturally sparks a conversation.
This text campaign is simple but powerful. Instead of just handing over a home value report, it starts a conversation. By asking about recent or planned updates, you engage the homeowner, make them think differently about their investment, and position yourself as the expert who helps them maximize it.
Most sellers assume they need to spend thousands fixing up their home before they can sell. But here’s the truth: They might not need to.
This email is so effective because it challenges that assumption with real results. If you recently worked with a client who had an outdated home, needed big-ticket repairs, and believed a traditional sale wasn’t worth the hassle, this is your chance to shift their perspective. Instead of pouring money into renovations or taking a lowball offer from an iBuyer, they leaned on your network of buyers. The result? A sale that netted them significantly more than an instant offer.
The key takeaway: Selling as-is isn’t a last resort—it’s a strategy. And when sellers have the right expert in their corner, they don’t have to choose between convenience and maximizing their profit.
One of the biggest misconceptions sellers have? That listing with an agent means weeks of expensive repairs, dealing with contractors, and endless headaches. Companies like Opendoor have capitalized on that fear, selling the promise of certainty, convenience, and speed. And guess what? It’s worked—over 30,000 homes bought in just two years.
But here’s the truth: Many of these sellers are leaving real money on the table. They might not need to renovate to sell. They might just need access to the right buyer.
This email is so effective because it challenges the seller’s assumptions. Most believe they have to fix up their home to attract buyers, but is there a different story? Not every buyer is looking for perfect—many prioritize location, potential, and value. And with your extensive network of buyers, you can connect sellers with the right match, without forcing them into costly renovations.
Pro tip: Strengthen this email by adding a local stat on buyer demand. Show sellers that homes—even ones that need work—are still moving fast in your market. The more relevant the data, the more powerful your message.
A Just Listed letter isn’t just about announcing a new listing—it’s about making homeowners pay attention to how it could impact their home’s value. Every sale in a neighborhood sets a new benchmark, influencing what buyers are willing to pay. This letter shifts the conversation from “Oh, another home for sale” to “Why should I care?”
It also serves another purpose: showcasing your marketing strategy without saying “Look how great I am.” By sharing real numbers—social media views, private showings, buyer interest—you’re proving that your approach gets results. And by offering to personally share the final sale details, you create an easy, value-driven way to stay in touch with potential future sellers.Â
Use this letter to position yourself as the agent who understands the market, drives demand, and keeps homeowners informed.
A marketing message that speaks directly to a specific type of seller is far more powerful than a generic one.Â
This script is designed for homeowners struggling to get their home sold—sellers who are frustrated, uncertain, and looking for real answers.Â
By addressing their pain points head-on, you position yourself as the agent who knows how to get a home sold.Â
Inspired by Tyler Drinkwater’s excellent Reel, this script calls out the biggest reason listings fail—poor positioning—and provides a clear path forward.Â
