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
Pair this with the Expired Marketing Blueprint to strengthen your strategy and establish yourself as the go-to expert.

A Just Sold carousel is a real estate marketing staple—and for good reason. It’s a compelling way to showcase real results, build trust, and plant the seed for future sellers.Â
Originally inspired by Katie Lucie’s direct mail letter, this carousel repurposes that proven format for Instagram, making it easy to share your next impressive sale.
The hook? A striking price difference between an online estimate and the final sale. It keeps people swiping, reinforces the value of strategic marketing, and ends with a clear call to action.
Whenever you have a marketable moment—like a client receiving multiple offers, selling above their online estimate, or going under contract quickly—it’s the perfect time to send a 1-to-1 text like this.Â
The power of this message comes from herd mentality—when people see others having success in the market, they naturally start wondering if they should make a move too.Â
The phrase “Have you noticed what’s been going on in our market?” is a soft, easy-to-answer question that invites conversation without pressure.Â
Customize the first line of this text based on what you’ve helped your clients accomplish recently. Here are a few ideas:

Your clients look to you for real market insights—not headlines, not hearsay. Whenever you have a marketable moment—a real success story like a client selling above their online estimate or above ask—it’s a prime opportunity to send an email like this.Â
When homeowners see others achieving impressive results, they naturally start wondering, “Could that be me?” That’s herd mentality in action—people are influenced by what others around them are doing, especially in uncertain times.Â
This email taps into that psychology, using a compelling example to shift homeowners from curiosity to action.Â
Customize the opening sentence with any stat from your client’s experience that demonstrates strong demand in your market.

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.
Targeting "Old Expireds" is a smart way to uncover hidden opportunities where no one else is looking.
This campaign works because it’s not generic—it’s laser-focused, empathetic, and backed by compelling data. By highlighting your research and showing genuine investment in their situation, you establish trust while opening the door for conversation.
The letter uses proven psychological techniques, like Chris Voss’s "no-oriented question," to lower resistance and make engagement feel safe.
Build your list, personalize your outreach, and position yourself as the expert they’ve been waiting for.
Inspired by my friend, Katie Lucie's campaign, we created a new sales letter you can send when you sell a home for above the Zestimate (or any online estimate).
Notably, we included two versions of this campaign.This version is a tighter, more direct version of this one.
It’s time to replace the boring “Just Sold” postcards with some ListingLeads.com magic. :)

Think about it this way....What are the reasons why someone would hesitate to reach out?
Address those concerns head on.
POV hooks are powerful—and for good reason. They pull your audience in by speaking directly to their experience. That’s exactly what this campaign does: it gives you a chance to educate your followers about your off-market strategy while showing them how you uncover hidden opportunities.
Plus it’s incredibly simple to execute. No script, no voiceover—just b-roll from your camera roll (a neighborhood like in this example, a listing interior like in this example, even a front door like in this example). Overlay with text, and let the caption do the heavy lifting. It doesn’t need to be super polished, the priority here is a clear message.
The source of this data point mentioned in the description is from BatchService and surfaced by Lance Lambert, co-founder of ResiClub:
‍
According to an analysis by BatchService, approximately 1.2 million U.S. home sales in 2024 were conducted off-market. Given that the National Association of Realtors reported about 5 million existing-home sales in 2024, this suggests that roughly 24% of home sales occurred off-market.
This campaign isn’t just a Reel. It’s a chance to build trust, share your expertise, and position yourself as the agent who goes beyond what’s expected. Keep it real, keep it relatable—and don’t forget to end with a call to action that gets them to raise their hand.
