Waiting rarely fixes a strategy gap, it just stretches the uncertainty.
This second letter is about helping the seller make a decision without pressure. They’re already replaying the last listing in their head, wondering if they chose the wrong agent, the wrong timing, or the wrong price. This message meets them right there and gives them a clean fork in the road.
Notice the restraint. You’re not chasing them. You’re giving them permission to disengage if they truly believe everything was done right. That confidence is disarming, and it signals experience.
Then you re-anchor the conversation around exposure and execution. You introduce the idea that there is a path forward, and that it’s repeatable, intentional, and proven.
This letter doesn’t explain the strategy yet.
It earns curiosity, reasserts control, and sets up the next message where you show exactly how you operate differently.
This first letter in the 2026 Expired Listing Blueprint is meant to slow the moment down and reframe what just happened - without blaming the seller or bashing the last agent. You’re speaking to someone who already did the work, took the risk, and still didn’t get the result. That frustration is real, and this message names it directly.
Then you shift the conversation.
By breaking the failed sale into three clear leverage points - presentation, promotion, and price - you give the seller language for what likely went wrong and show them this wasn’t random or personal. It was fixable.
Your goal is simple: restore confidence, establish authority, and open the door for a smarter second attempt - on their terms.
This page sets the tone for the entire Cannonball.
The Relaunch Plan cover is a comparison. You’re holding up a mirror to their last experience while showing how it could - and should - feel different. Side by side. Old reality versus a reimagined one.
Clear fixes for each breakdown. Better visibility. Better positioning. Better communication. Stronger negotiation.
This is the first page they read, and it should feel like relief.
A fresh start that says: You weren’t wrong. You just didn’t have the right plan.
This piece is your proof-of-work that you’re great at your job - clean, visual, and impossible to ignore. The Perfect Resume isn’t about ego or flexing numbers. It’s about removing uncertainty by showing the seller, at a glance, that they’re dealing with a professional who operates at a high level and does it consistently.
Design matters here. This should feel polished and intentional, not crowded or defensive. The stats do the heavy lifting: longevity, volume, pricing strength, recent momentum. No explanations needed.
And here’s the key: if your individual numbers feel modest, don’t undersell yourself. Use your team’s performance.

Expired sellers don’t need more options, they need a clear path. But before they’ll follow anyone forward, three hurdles have to be cleared.
The first is empathy: Do you actually understand what I just went through?
This is the opening shot of the Cannonball. The first contact. The moment you interrupt the noise and reset the narrative before other agents turn desperation into discounting. You’re grounding the seller in facts - real sales, real price ranges, real activity in their area - and calmly pointing out the missed opportunity without blame.
You’re also acknowledging two emotional truths at once: some sellers are ready to act, others are worn down and overwhelmed. Either way, you position timing and strategy as the real stakes of the next few weeks.
Most importantly, this letter works because it arrives with the Relaunch Plan. You’re not just identifying the gap, you’re showing up with a framework and a next step already thought through.
This is exemplifying leadership. And it sets the tone for everything that follows.

Redfin’s analysis shows that new listings get dramatically more views in the first few days than older listings — and even a price drop never brings the same level of interest back.
Translation for sellers:
• Your first 72 hours get the most attention you’ll ever see.
• Buyer interest falls fast once a listing sits.
• Correcting the price later doesn’t create a second launch.
This is important info for you to communicate. But with the wrong energy, it can come across as off-putting.
So we softened the approach in this email, and framed it with a simple piece of advice: think like a buyer.

There’s one thing you can never afford to skip in a sales script: destroying the objection in the consumer’s mind. And right now, this one might sound familiar: “Selling just isn’t a priority with the holidays coming up.”
That’s why this text is built on a simple, reliable formula:
Destroy the objection.
Bring something new.
Offer a soft, low-pressure CTA.
You’ll find two versions of the script below: a clean, plug-and-play version for anyone… and a personalized version with hook ideas if you want to go deeper.

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.
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.
Right now, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate is sitting near its lowest level in a year. That’s what we’re leading with in this Instagram poll.
The next slide is an easy, low-friction question wrapped in a casual, handwritten visual to surface buyers.
Use this to meet the moment, spark curiosity, and start conversations with the people already watching the market.
