When rates move, buyers move. And right now, rates just hit their lowest point since October 2024.
This is fuel for real conversations with your database. You’re delivering timely, relevant information that matters to them.
And the magic is in the close: ending with a simple, “If rates drop any lower, should I reach out?” It surfaces intent without forcing it.
This script gives you a fast, natural way to reconnect with leads, position yourself as the market expert, and uncover buyers ready to take the next step.
You’ve likely seen these videos everywhere lately - and for good reason. They rack up views, spark debate, and get people talking. This format works because everyone has an opinion about neighborhoods. When you rank them, people can’t resist chiming in.
This template was directly inspired by Austin Klar’s video “I Ranked San Francisco’s BEST Neighborhoods (Tier List),” which pulled in 27,000 views. We studied his approach, broke down what made it work, and built this version so you can easily apply it in your own market.
The result? A high-energy, proven format that not only drives views but also starts conversations in the comments and positions you as the local expert. All you need to do is plug in your neighborhoods, your details, and hit record. When you’re ready to upload, we’ve even included a YouTube title and description you can copy-paste to maximize reach.
When something works, don’t reinvent the wheel. Sam Reifman-Packett (who you should all follow on IG) ran this exact story and walked away with 70 leads.
The formula is simple: hit your audience with a stat they can’t ignore - price reductions in their area this week - and then ask the question that matters: “What’s holding you back from buying?”
That’s it. Don’t overthink it. Don’t over-design it.
Just post it.
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 - whether it’s yours or someone else’s (always get the listing agent’s permission first) - and turn it into a reason for people to stop, share, and engage.
This week, the hook is a simple POV line: “You’re not planning to move but then this comes on the market in [Area].” Notice what’s missing too: we’re not dropping the price. Just beds, baths, and location with a clean grid of photos.
Then comes the closer: a poll. Two light, obvious choices that keep it playful while opening the door to DMs and follow-up conversations.
The formula is simple, but the impact compounds. Hook them with curiosity, multiply reach with the share trigger, and let the poll carry you straight into real conversations with buyers.
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.
Good agents study the market. Great agents take what they learn and turn it into a reason to start conversations. That’s exactly what this text does.
It works because it’s rooted in relevance. You’re not just reaching out - you’re reaching out with something specific your client cares about: the latest sales data in their area. Add in the pattern interrupt - “The results were not what I was expecting” - and you’ve got their attention.
This is proactive prospecting at its best. You’re not waiting for permission to be helpful. You’re creating the moment, offering value, and opening the door to a natural follow-up.

The smart play right now is (and always has been!!) education. Buyers don’t need another market headline; they need someone to help them interpret what matters and how to act on it.
This email does exactly that. Notice how the subject line qualifies upfront, if they open, they’re at least thinking about buying before 2026. Add them to your call list this week.
The body of the email covers three specific levers buyers can watch, and act on. It’s practical, actionable, and positions you as the advisor they want in their corner.
And the P.S.? That’s the subtle pipeline builder. Acknowledge they may not be ready today, but open the door for a 6–12 month conversation.
Most of the time, buyers don’t just need the headline, they need the help interpreting what it means for them. The smart play right now is (and always has been!!) education - especially around mortgage rates.

We should probably go ahead and recruit Scott Steadman for the creative team at ListingLeads.com. The postcard he shared in our Mastermind Group was that good. From the headline to the body copy to the clear CTA, it nailed everything. Naturally, we had to turn his brilliance into a template you can use for your own Just Sold campaigns.
Here’s why this matters: most “Just Sold” postcards blend into the pile of mail on the counter. They brag about the sale but fail to connect with the neighbor holding the card. This one cuts through. It speaks to the reality of the market, shows proof of performance, and gives homeowners a clear next step. That combination is what creates conversations, and conversations are what lead to listings.
A “Just Sold” letter without the story behind it is a wasted opportunity. Numbers alone don’t inspire confidence, but details do. Homeowners want to know how you got the result, not just that you did. That’s where this campaign shines.
S/O to Vanessa Reilly who created the Just Sold letter (her example below) that inspired this template.
By pulling back the curtain - sharing the strategy, the marketing, the preparation - you’re showing the sweat. You’re giving neighbors insider access they won’t get from Zillow or Redfin. This positions you not as another agent bragging about a sale, but as the expert who knows exactly how to maximize value in their neighborhood.
If you’ve got a standout sale, this is the letter that turns it into momentum. Clear proof. Clear results. And a clear next step for anyone wondering, “What could my home sell for?”
Don’t wait until you secure the listing to start building relationships with the neighbors.
Here’s a strategy to implement as soon as you book the listing appointment:
1. Build a list of nearby homes using a tool like Propstream.
2. Send this letter to the neighbors.
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.
This “Forward to a Friend” email has been one of our top performers for years, and this new version makes it even stronger. Why? Because it does three things at once: it gives your database insider access before the listing goes public, it assumes they’re not the buyer (which lowers resistance), and it gives them a simple, clear CTA: share it with someone who might be.
That combination is why this campaign consistently drives conversations, referrals, and results.
Momentum is everything. Once you’ve sparked curiosity with your pre-appointment email, the next move is to double down - but only with the people who leaned in the first time. That’s why this follow-up is targeted to just the openers. They’ve already raised their hand. Now you fan the flame.
This email takes the intrigue even higher. The subject line flips the script with “I was wrong,” pulling readers back in. The body? It escalates the buzz, paints the home as even more desirable, and gives a clear timeline for when the official details will drop.
The beauty here is in the anticipation - you’re keeping them hooked, making them feel like insiders, and setting up the perfect runway for the launch.
Great businesses don’t wait for demand. They create it. That’s exactly why this campaign has been one of our most successful for years: no one else is doing it.
Here’s the play. Before you even walk into the listing appointment, you prime your entire database with this email. The subject line? Impossible to ignore. The copy? Turns the volume allllll the way up.
What does that do? It builds buzz, positions you as the go-to agent with insider access, and gives you a list of curious buyers before the seller has even signed the paperwork. And when you tell your clients you’ve already started promoting their home? That’s the moment you lock in trust, and the listing.
Pro-Tip: Send this email next.

This week, we’re running a new hook: “share this with a friend.” It’s a simple line, but it’s the same psychology behind some of the most viral IG posts. Notice what’s missing too: we’re not dropping the price. Just beds, baths, and location with a clean grid of photos.
Then comes the closer: a poll. Two light, obvious choices that keep it playful while opening the door to DMs and follow-up conversations.

Generic “market update” videos fall flat. What gets views - and leads - are hyper-specific comparisons that answer the exact questions buyers are already asking.
That’s why these neighborhood vs. neighborhood breakdowns perform so well. When Chris Colgan ran this style of video, it pulled in over 8,200 views, because it combined three things: a compelling hook, hyper-local data, and genuine educational value.
That’s what makes this format so powerful: it turns you into the local guide who helps buyers see past the price tag and into the real trade-offs that shape their lives.
This template gives you the structure. Plug in your local neighborhoods, your stats, and your perspective, and you’ll have a video that not only attracts views, but also positions you as the advisor buyers trust when it’s time to choose.
