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.
Asking for referrals can feel hard.
This script reframes the typical referral script.
The phrase "One more thing" are magic words that you can slide into the end of a conversation with your client.
From there, make a genuine offer to help someone in their network.

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.
Almost everyone has a prediction on where they think the market is headed.
And it's a really interesting angle for engaging 1-to-1 with your SOI: What do they think is going to happen with the market?
This 3-part text script is an opportunity to find people who are thinking about selling, but who haven't yet raised their hand.
Here's how to start the conversation. ⬇️
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.
So for this strategy, by framing a hypothetical question with, "I know this is a bit of a crazy question," you create a safe space to have an open dialogue and explore with your prospect.
Here's the script you can copy/paste.
Send this to 5 of your clients in your database this afternoon.
Proactively sending CMAs is a killer strategy.
It's exactly what Ken Pozek and his team did to generate $80,000 in commission.
Here's the data he shared:
- 30 CMAs
- 12 Appointments Booked
- 5 Listings (all closed)
- 6 Deals in total (1 doubled-ended)
Here's the exact script his team used when they reached out to their SOI with their CMA.
Imagine if you started executing 5 of these a week?
You've probably got a database full of clients who are never going to sell their house.
Because if they were to buy their same house again today, their mortgage payment would be more than double.
It makes sense why you might think that there isn't much value in staying in touch with these folks…
But that would be short-sighted.
Happy clients are your best referral sources.
Try this text message instead.
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. 🚀
Every time you complete a CMA, it's an opportunity to start more conversations—and book listing appointments.
S/O to Steve Stych who sent the exact letter that you'll see below, and got a listing appointment that turned into a signed listing. He then sold that listing in 2 days. The total cost to mail out the letters was about $225. And the GCI he's generated from this campaign? $15,000.
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.
This tactic is fire.
If you want to generate more opportunities with less effort, take your best performing email or social campaigns and turn them into a postcard/letter that you can mail to your farm.
Doubling down on your winners is how you can get more listings in a low inventory market.

If you're looking for a strategy to build instant rapport with prospects, it's this one.
Every homeowner wants to feel like they made a smart investment buying when they did, where they did.
This is an opportunity for you to affirm their decision and prove it with relevant market data.
The flattery angle is a smart way to engage the consumer, provide value, and build trust.
And of course, don't just send the campaign and stop there.
Hit the phones to follow-up.
If buyer demand is on the rise in a particular neighborhood, this is a great campaign to send:
1. It educates the potential seller on the current market trends they should know about.
2. It creates a sense of curiosity about their home's value.
3. It positions you as the local expert.
Send this direct mail campaign out to a hot neighborhood near you and hit the phones to follow-up.
This is a great angle that answers the question "Why should I sell now?"
Here's why it works:
1. It highlights relevant, specific market trends that they'd care about. You're not waiting for permission to be helpful. You're actively bringing information to them that they should know about.
2. It includes a compelling, direct response CTA.
3. It builds rapport and trust. It makes the communication feel more personal and less like a standard sales pitch.
Most people don't know all their options when it comes to selling their home.
Whether it's a Cash Offer, Fix & Flip, Buy Before You Sell, or a Traditional Sale—educate the consumer on the options they have when they work with you.
This direct mail letter is a great example—it's value-first, but it includes a section where they can compare their options.
This is a subtle way to provide value, build trust, and educate the consumer on how you can help them navigate this market.
This is a fantastic Just Sold angle.
S/O to Cole Team Real Estate for executing this brilliantly.
This is a strategy we like to call Market your marketing.
It's one of the best ways to turn your recent sales into more listings.
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.
