Everyone who opened yesterday’s email is showing you something important: curiosity. They’re paying attention. That’s your prospecting list for today.
Reference the email as a relevant opening, then ask a question that’s easy to answer: “What’s one feature your current home is missing that your next one has to have?”
One of the secrets we’ve learned for effective outreach? Ask a question they already know the answer to.
Time to start more conversations.
Nearly 1 in 5 listings took a price cut last month, according to Realtor.com.Â
That shift gives us the perfect opening for a direct response email with something timely and relevant.
Normally, you might spend hours digging through MLS data to spot those price drops and flag the best buys. But we’re doing something counterintuitive here:
Don’t do the work upfront. Instead, frame it as an invitation: I'm going to review all the recent price reductions. Once I've got my list, do you want me to send it to you right away?
If people respond, then you do the work. It’s efficient, intentional, and it taps the endowment effect, which is that subtle pull that makes people want what already feels like it’s theirs.

When Levi Lascsak’s price-cut video went viral with 149K views, it proved just how much attention this kind of content commands. The good news? You don’t need to walk through every home to make it work. This template gives you the same impact powered by market data and your own voice.
Price reductions are hitting across the board right now. Use them to spotlight motivation, highlight opportunity, and start more conversations.
If it doesn’t already, the “Deal of the Week” should live in your weekly SOPs. Every week, find the hottest new listing in your market - and turn it into a reason for people to stop, share, and engage.
We know: you can’t always get the listing agent’s permission to share the photos of your Deal of the Week. That’s why we created this template.

Not sure which listing to feature?
- Filter for new listings (within the last 7 days)
- Focus on your target price point
- Stay in your ideal neighborhood or farm area
That should give you a pool of 50–70 listings.
From there, zero in on the one with the highest saves or views—that’s your Deal of the Week.
If you want more leads, this IG Story series is the play. Tom and Jimmy built these slides for one reason: they get people talking.
Here’s why it works: every question is easy to answer, a little personal, and designed to draw buyers and sellers into a real conversation.
We even included three recommended follow-up scripts so you’re never stuck wondering what to say next.
‍
This text is short on purpose, just one line. Have you given up on trying to buy a home this year? It’s straight out of Chris Voss’ playbook. By framing the question negatively, you lower defenses and invite an honest response. People are more likely to correct you (“No, I haven’t given up…”) than agree, which gets the conversation moving.
Send this to everyone who opened yesterday’s email and watch how many conversations you start.
A lot of buyers are waiting for prices to drop before making a move. The subject line teases the two questions they need to ask themselves.
If they open the email, you know there’s a strong chance they’re serious enough to be wrestling with the decision, not just browsing listings for fun.
Most agents wouldn’t tell you this… disarms the reader, setting you apart as the advisor who tells the truth. Then the P.S. drives urgency with a clear next step to anyone who wants to know their options.
Follow up tomorrow with everyone who opens this email and send them this text.
You don’t win listings by saying the same thing every other agent says. You win by showing sellers you have something no one else can match.
As a Zillow partner agent, you’re not just another option in the stack, you’re the clear advantage. Sellers already know Zillow is where buyers look. What they don’t know is how Showcase tilts the playing field in your favor: more views, more engagement, faster offers, and often higher prices.
This direct mail letter does the heavy lifting for you. Bring it to the table at your next listing appointment (or send it to your farm) and let the numbers speak for themselves.

Fannie Mae is projecting rates to slide under 6% by the end of 2026. That gets people thinking: At what point would I finally jump in?
That’s the question this Story is built around. By asking followers for their “magic” mortgage rate, you’re not only sparking engagement—you’re qualifying your audience. Anyone who responds is signaling intent, curiosity, or at least awareness of where rates are headed.
And that’s the win here: a simple poll that creates interaction, reveals buying signals, and keeps you top of mind when the timing feels right. We’ve even included a recommended follow-up script to make those conversations easy.
This script is a positioning tool. The hook gets attention because it taps into the question everyone’s asking: what happens if rates fall further? That curiosity is your opening to share insights that matter.
The strength of this video is in how it frames the numbers. You’re not dumping stats, you’re connecting them to real decisions buyers and sellers are weighing right now: affordability, confidence, and timing. That’s what makes you the trusted guide, not just another voice repeating headlines.
Bottom line: use this video to show authority, spark conversations, and keep yourself top of mind when people start making moves.
This is where yesterday's email and this text strategy really comes together. Yesterday’s subject line did the heavy lifting: it got people to reveal themselves. They opened because they were curious what happens if rates drop. That’s intent. That’s interest. That’s how you qualify through copy.
Now you follow up with a simple, targeted text. Lead with real proof: you just helped a buyer lock in a lower rate. That’s news worth sharing. Then extend a clear, personal offer: “Want to see what your monthly payment would look like at [%]?”
It’s short. It’s direct. And it keeps the conversation moving forward with the people who already raised their hand.

Now you follow up with a simple, targeted text. Lead with real proof: you just helped a buyer lock in a lower rate. That’s news worth sharing. Then extend a clear, personal offer: “Want to see what your monthly payment would look like at 6%?”

Rates don’t have to fall far to shake things up.
If the 30-year fixed dropped to 6%, NAR’s chief economist says it would make homeownership possible for 5.5 million more households. About 10% of those people would likely buy within the next year. That’s 550,000 buyers suddenly in the game.
And that kind of shift would push home sales up by 13%.
Here’s why this campaign matters for you: it’s built to qualify through copy. If someone clicks into an email like this, they’re curious about rates, about timing, about opportunity. In other words, they’re already paying close attention. The P.S. gives sellers a gentle way to raise their hand too.

Rates that start with a “3” carry more weight than most people realize.
That’s the story we’re telling with this campaign. CREA’s chief economist is already pointing to a shift: sales are climbing, five months in a row, and buyers see sub-4% as a return to “normal.”Â
Here’s why this campaign matters for you: it’s built to qualify through copy. If someone clicks into an email asking what happens when mortgages fall into the 3s, they’re telling you they’re tuned in. They’re curious about timing, opportunity, and the market’s next move. The P.S. then gives sellers a gentle way to raise their hand, keeping the door open for listing conversations too.

This one’s a quick poll with a clear purpose.
You’re pairing a timely market stat with a forward-looking “If this, then I will…” prompt so it feels relevant and personal. That combo works (we’ve tested it).
Use it to surface hand raisers without asking anyone to commit. Just curiosity, timing, and intent.
Easy for them to answer. Valuable for you to track.
