Unlock Exclusive Video and Hook Strategies

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.

This letter works.

The ZMA campaign has been one of our most successful direct mail pieces because it’s simple, personal, and impossible to ignore.

You’re not just dropping a flyer. You’re sending their home, printed straight from either Realtor.ca, HouseSigma, or something similar, with their online estimate circled in pen and a handwritten sticky note that asks: “Would you consider selling for more than this?”

It’s bold. And it sparks exactly the kind of conversation you want with potential sellers.

This updated version keeps the magic of the original which is, the handwritten feel, the direct question but sharpens the copy to drive more responses.

Use it to cut through the noise and get real answers from homeowners who might be more ready than they think.

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.

In a shifting market, fear is cheap (and everywhere).

You can’t scroll YouTube without someone predicting the “big crash” or shouting “sell now before it’s too late.”

But here’s the thing: the data says otherwise. Decades of housing history show that every downturn recovers.

Which means panic‑selling is the fastest way to turn a temporary dip into a permanent loss.

That’s why this letter takes the opposite approach. Instead of peddling fear, it positions you as the steady, long‑view professional who helps people sell for the right reasons: fit, timing, lifestyle.

It’s the kind of message that builds trust when others are burning it.Send it monthly to your farm and watch your share of the market grow when confidence is in short supply.

Second homes. Absentee owners. Landlords dealing with repairs, vacancies, and shifting returns.

They may not be raising their hands, but many are re‑evaluating what they own and why.

This campaign is built to reach them where they are, before they make their next move.Your job? Put it in play and start turning this segment into your next source of listings.

Scarcity sells, especially in real estate.

Tell someone they can’t have something, and suddenly it’s all they can think about.

That’s the psychology behind this campaign. It opens with a line most agents would never dare send: “I really shouldn’t share this listing with you…”

From there, it trades in curiosity, not information. No price. No exact address. Just a handful of vivid details, a whisper of exclusivity, and a simple CTA: text “VIP” to learn more.

This isn’t about announcing a listing, it’s about creating demand before it hits the market.Send it, and you’re not just marketing a home. You’re making it feel like an opportunity buyers can’t afford to miss.

A good Coming Soon campaign doesn’t just build anticipation—it builds connection.

This letter taps into something we see all the time in tight-knit neighborhoods: someone hears a home is hitting the market, and immediately thinks, “I wonder if [friend/family member] would want to live here…”

We designed this campaign to make that moment more powerful.

It gives neighbors first-look access plus insider prep details they won’t find online—creating a sense of trust, transparency, and exclusivity. It makes them feel like they’re in the loop, not just on the list. And if they know someone looking? You’re now the obvious person to call.

This isn’t just a teaser. It’s a hand-delivered reason to talk about your listing before it goes live. Use it to spark conversations and referrals.

Most Just Listed letters are forgettable. This one isn’t.

Because it doesn’t just announce a listing,it answers the one question every homeowner actually cares about: “Why should I care?”

This campaign leads with value: It highlights the specific, strategic improvements you made to prep the home, giving neighbors real ideas they can apply to their own property, whether they’re selling now or two years from now.

It does three things at once:
✔ Shows the caliber of work you do behind the scenes
✔ Educates homeowners on what buyers in their neighborhood really care about
✔ Keeps you top-of-mind as the expert who understands how to market a home, not just list one

It’s not just a listing announcement. It’s a positioning play.

Right now, the typical homeowner wants $39K more than buyers are willing to pay. And too many agents are losing the conversation before it even starts, because they’re not showing the cost of a bad plan in real terms.

That’s what this campaign is built to do.

It takes sellers out of “let’s test the market” mode and shows them, clearly and calmly, how that mindset leads to a $23,000 mistake they never saw coming. Use this letter to reframe what smart pricing actually means in today’s market.

We based the $23K on a $500,000 home, factoring in two to three months of mortgage, taxes, insurance, and utilities. You can adjust the number to better reflect average home prices in your market.

Just because it’s off the market doesn’t mean it’s off the table.

This final campaign in The Summer Expired Series takes a direct-response approach—and it works because it’s simple, specific, and grounded in buyer behavior.

You’re not asking for a listing. You’re surfacing a possibility.

The message is straightforward: Buyers love off-market deals. And if the seller still has a number in mind, you have buyers who may be ready to act—without showings, Open Houses, or disruption.

This is the kind of outreach that feels less like a pitch, and more like a professional courtesy.

And while the tone is slightly different from the rest of the series—more casual, more direct—it’s still part of the same rhythm, building on the trust, clarity, and CTA repetition you’ve established all along.

Sometimes the smartest move is the one no one’s expecting.

There’s one high-leverage play most agents never mention—and most sellers never consider.

The Reverse Offer Strategy in The Summer Expired Series flips the dynamic. Instead of waiting for buyers to make a move, you make the first one. With precision. With confidence. With a complete offer tailored to someone who already showed interest.

This campaign feels personal and consultative, like you're sharing a trade secret.

It’s especially effective for homeowners who feel close to giving up. Why? Because it introduces a bold strategy at the exact moment they think they’ve run out of options.

And just like every campaign in this series, it closes with the familiar CTA: a 15-minute Summer Strategy Call that builds trust through repetition and offers real next steps.

Price isn’t always the problem. Exposure is.

Most sellers assume their home didn’t sell because it was priced too high. 

And sometimes, that’s true. But more often, it’s because their agent never got the home in front of the right buyers.

That’s what this campaign challenges head-on.

Campaign 4 of The Summer Expired Series introduces a set of high-leverage marketing strategies most sellers have never heard of—reverse prospecting, YouTube pre-roll, geo-fenced retargeting, and more. It’s not smoke and mirrors. It’s smart, targeted exposure.

And it does two things instantly:

1. Reframes the seller’s thinking.
2. Elevates your positioning.
   
   

The tone stays grounded, never hypey. The message: you have options beyond a price cut—and a partner who knows how to execute.

And once again, we repeat the same call-to-action—because repetition builds recognition, trust, and momentum.

This campaign is a powerful differentiator for any seller who thinks they’ve “tried everything.”
