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. 👇
Words can develop a reputation.
‍
And the "Cash Offer" has been abused.
‍
We all know that it can be a viable option for a specific type of consumer, but it can feel predatory when it's pitched a certain way.
‍
So, we've developed a new campaign.Â
‍
It's the anti-gimmick approach.
‍
Here's why it works:
‍
1. The front of the card grabs attention
2. The language takes the pressure off the consumer and puts you on the same side of the table
3. It includes social proof to prove that you're great at your job
4. It ends with a direct response CTA
‍

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.
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.
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 brilliantly executed the Name Your Price direct mail campaign.Â
‍
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. 🔥
‍
To create your own QR code, simply build your landing page, add the URL to the Canva template below, and download your design as PDF Print. Watch this video to see exactly how to do it. 👇
‍
If you have a qualified buyer, but nowhere for them to go, that's not a problem—it's an opportunity.
That's exactly what the 2024 Magic Buyer Letter is about.
It's an opportunity for you to go the extra mile for your buyer.
It's an opportunity for you to start more conversations.
It's an opportunity for you to generate more listing opportunities.
‍
As you adapt this campaign to fit your market, your buyer, and your brand, make sure you include:
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.

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.
‍
Try it out. ⬇️
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!
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.
The Deal of the Week strategy needs to be added to your weekly marketing SOPs.

Brad McCallum sent a Deal of the Week email and got 20 replies.
But here's the thing...Â
This email is just the beginning.
Repurpose your Deal of the Week into an IG poll and an SOI text.
This is how you can take a winning marketing campaign and maximize the impact.
Here's the IG Poll. ⬇️
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.
