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.
Most sellers think putting their home on Zillow is enough. It’s not. Exposure is what drives demand, and demand is what creates the result your clients want. A listing buried among thousands won’t cut it.
The difference? A marketing strategy that works harder. Not just a sign in the yard or a post on Zillow—but a relentless, multi-channel approach that puts your home in front of serious buyers. A marketing strategy like yours.
Use this postcard template as an alternative to the traditional Just Sold postcard and highlight the specifics of how your marketing drives real results for your clients.
Most sellers assume that making updates before listing is a must. But the truth? Some renovations add value—others just drain your wallet.
This direct mail sales letter challenges the idea that every home needs a facelift before hitting the market. Instead of pushing sellers toward costly upgrades, it positions you as a strategic advisor—someone who helps them make smart decisions based on real market data. The message is clear: before they waste time and money on unnecessary projects, they should talk to you first.
To make this even more compelling, the letter includes a visual graphic highlighting specific home improvements and their return on investment. This gives sellers a quick, digestible way to see which updates actually pay off.
Pro tip: Update the ROI data based on your local market insights. Customizing these numbers will make the letter even more relevant and persuasive for homeowners in your area.
This stat blew me away: Opendoor has purchased 30,000 homes over the last two years.
Now, why does this matter? As an agent who wants more listings, you need to identify underserved niches in the market and get the right message in front of them.
When I look at Reddit and other forums, sellers who choose Opendoor often mention convenience, certainty, and speed—but overwhelmingly, the biggest reason is avoiding repairs. They don’t want the hassle of fixing up their home before selling.
That’s a huge opportunity. Homeowners who have lived in their homes for 20+ years likely have repairs to make, and many believe their only option is selling to an iBuyer. This direct mail campaign speaks directly to them, showing a better alternative—you.
Use this letter to stop losing deals to companies like Opendoor and position yourself as the agent who knows how to get their home sold.
A Just Listed letter isn’t just about announcing a new listing—it’s about making homeowners pay attention to how it could impact their home’s value. Every sale in a neighborhood sets a new benchmark, influencing what buyers are willing to pay. This letter shifts the conversation from “Oh, another home for sale” to “Why should I care?”
It also serves another purpose: showcasing your marketing strategy without saying “Look how great I am.” By sharing real numbers—social media views, private showings, buyer interest—you’re proving that your approach gets results. And by offering to personally share the final sale details, you create an easy, value-driven way to stay in touch with potential future sellers.
Use this letter to position yourself as the agent who understands the market, drives demand, and keeps homeowners informed.

Targeting "Old Expireds" is a smart way to uncover hidden opportunities where no one else is looking.
This campaign works because it’s not generic—it’s laser-focused, empathetic, and backed by compelling data. By highlighting your research and showing genuine investment in their situation, you establish trust while opening the door for conversation.
The letter uses proven psychological techniques, like Chris Voss’s "no-oriented question," to lower resistance and make engagement feel safe.
Build your list, personalize your outreach, and position yourself as the expert they’ve been waiting for.
Inspired by my friend, Katie Lucie's campaign, we created a new sales letter you can send when you sell a home for above the Zestimate (or any online estimate).
Notably, we included two versions of this campaign.This version is a tighter, more direct version of this one.
It’s time to replace the boring “Just Sold” postcards with some ListingLeads.com magic. :)
Inspired by my friend, Katie Lucie's campaign, we created a new sales letter you can send when you sell a home for above the Zestimate (or any online estimate).
Notably, we included two versions of this campaign.This version includes a tactic we call "Destroy The Objections."
Think about it this way....What are the reasons why someone would hesitate to reach out?
Address those concerns head on.
This postcard is designed to hit at just the right time—when competition is fierce and sellers are starting to pay closer attention.
In many markets right now, demand is surging. Homes are selling over asking, often with multiple backup offers and no contingencies. But most homeowners don’t fully realize just how competitive things have gotten in their neighborhood.
That’s the power of this piece—it delivers hyper-local proof that now might be their moment.
Customize it with your latest market data. Plug in a recent win and testimonial. And make sure your call-to-action is easy to act on—because when sellers see what’s happening nearby, they’re more likely to raise their hand.
Here’s something most agents miss: The best time to market isn’t after the sale—it’s while the momentum is still building.
Recently, my buddy Tre sent me a DM that proves it. He wrote a simple letter for his agent to send out after an Open House. The result? 50 letters. 2 listings.
This approach blends two of the strongest strategies we use at ListingLeads.com—the Magic Buyer Letter and Storytelling Just Sold. When you combine urgency with a compelling story, people pay attention.
Here’s the letter. Use it. And more importantly—start treating every listing like a launching pad for the next one.
At this point, the FSBO seller has likely had some level of interest—but interest doesn’t equal a sale.
Letter #3 is where you introduce a no-risk solution: a 30-day listing agreement designed to get them across the finish line. No long-term contracts, no pressure—just a smart, performance-based approach that removes the biggest barrier FSBO sellers have about working with an agent.
By now, they know you’re not just another agent trying to “win the listing.” You’ve provided value, built trust, and positioned yourself as a problem solver.
By now, the FSBO seller has likely dealt with lowball offers, pushy agents, or worse—radio silence. And if their home isn’t moving, they’re starting to wonder why.
That’s where this letter comes in. Letter #2 in the sequence shifts the conversation to pricing—one of the biggest pain points for FSBO sellers. Instead of telling them they’ve priced it wrong, this letter leads with empathy, highlights the risk of guessing, and offers a free CMA as a straightforward, no-pressure solution.
The goal? To make it easy for them to say yes. No obligation, no catch—just valuable data that helps them make smarter decisions. And when they realize they need more than just numbers? You’re already the agent they trust.
Most FSBO sellers expect agents to pressure them into listing. That’s why most direct mail from agents goes straight into the trash.
If you want to stand out, you have to do something different. Instead of pushing for a listing, this letter builds trust by meeting sellers where they are—acknowledging their frustrations, offering value, and positioning you as a helpful resource, not just another agent looking for a deal.
This is letter #1 in a three-part sequence. The goal? To shift their perception of you from “just another agent” to someone they can actually trust. No sales pitch, no scare tactics—just practical advice that makes them feel more confident in their sale.
Inspired by top-producing agent Lourdes Maestres, this direct mail letter pairs a bold, singular claim with real-world proof. It showcases sold properties where every buyer was found online—through targeted digital campaigns, not open houses or yard signs.
Why it works:
- The message is focused and fresh.
- The proof is tangible—real homes, real numbers.
- And the QR codes flip passive interest into active clicks, driving traffic to your marketing process in action.
Use this to position yourself as the agent who markets like it’s 2025—not 2005. Flip the letter, scan the code, and show them exactly how you do it.
Pro-Tip: Film a video where you clearly describe the marketing you do for properties and drive the QR code to your YouTube channel. See Lourdes' example here.
This campaign is a spin on the proven Magic Buyer strategy — but through the lens of Silver Tsunami sellers.
You’re still leveraging real buyer demand to spark off-market conversations, but the message is tailored to homeowners who’ve been in their homes for decades and aren’t actively thinking about selling. These owners don’t need urgency — they need relevance, respect, and a reason to consider their options.
And here’s where it clicks: the median age of a Silver Tsunami-owned home is 45 years. For many of these homeowners, the idea of listing comes with the stress of repairs, upgrades, and uncertainty. That’s why, if you have a buyer who’s comfortable with making improvements, this letter becomes even more powerful.
Tiffany Vasquez sent 88 Magic Buyer Letters and got 15 responses, 10 interested homeowners, and 5 potential listings.
Tre Serrano sent 50 and walked away with 2 listings.
This letter delivers the same results by focusing on what works: a real buyer, a thoughtful ask, and a message that feels personal, specific, and low-pressure.

The last letter in this campaign, 'A Lot Has Changed,' is a 6-month follow-up designed to re-engage homeowners who didn’t relist earlier. It acknowledges the time that has passed and highlights how the market has shifted in their favor. This letter is all about rekindling interest and offering a fresh perspective, positioning you as the go-to agent when they’re ready to relist.
Our sixth letter, 'Let’s Reimagine How Your Home Is Sold,' is the final touchpoint in the 30-day sequence. It emphasizes creativity and strategy, showing the homeowner that selling their home requires more than just putting it on the market—it requires innovation. This letter sets you apart from other agents by highlighting the advanced tactics and marketing tools you bring to the table.
Letter 5 in the sequence is 'Before You Relist, Do This First.' At this stage, the homeowner is beginning to see the value in a strategic relisting. This letter offers a detailed market analysis as a key step before making their next move. It’s designed to position you as a resourceful and knowledgeable partner, providing the clarity they need to make an informed decision.
Letter 4, 'Why Your Home Didn’t Sell—and How to Fix It,' takes the conversation deeper. It identifies potential reasons their home didn’t sell and introduces a specific solution: the Professional Listing Review. This letter combines empathy with actionable value, inviting the homeowner to explore how minor changes could lead to major results. It’s an important part of the sequence, transitioning from trust-building to offering practical help.
Letter 3 in our campaign is 'Persistence and Proven Results.' This is where you build trust through storytelling. By sharing a specific success story, you show the homeowner that selling after an expired listing is not only possible but also achievable with the right approach. This letter reinforces your persistence and commitment, showing them that you’ll go the extra mile to get results.
This is the second letter in the campaign: 'The Biggest Mistake Expired Listings Make.' Now that you’ve established empathy with the homeowner in Letter 1, this letter shifts the focus to education. It identifies a critical mistake many sellers make—relisting without a strategy—and positions you as the expert who can help them avoid it. This letter is all about building credibility and gently challenging their assumptions about what it takes to sell a home.
Welcome to the first letter in our expired listings campaign: 'The Frustration of an Unsold Home.' This letter sets the tone for the entire sequence. It acknowledges the homeowner’s frustration, validates their experience, and positions you as a solution-oriented agent. It’s designed to open the door for meaningful engagement by addressing the emotional pain points many expired homeowners feel. Use this letter to establish trust and empathy right from the start.
Expired listings present one of the most profitable and overlooked opportunities in real estate. These homeowners are motivated—they’ve already made the decision to sell, invested time and energy, and now feel frustrated and let down by the process. By focusing on expired listings, you can position yourself as the solution they’ve been waiting for.
Here’s why this niche should be a cornerstone of your business:
1. The Numbers Speak for Themselves
Based on available data, nearly 40% of expired listings are relisted within the first 30 days, and many of these homeowners choose to work with a new agent. That’s your window of opportunity. By targeting this group early, with the right messaging and strategy, you can establish trust and secure listings before your competition.
But it doesn’t stop there. Some homeowners take longer to re-engage, which is why a long-term follow-up approach—like our 6-month campaign—can capture those who are ready later.
2. High Intent, Frustrated Sellers
Unlike other lead sources, expired listing homeowners are already committed to the idea of selling. Their frustration isn’t with the idea of moving—it’s with the process that failed them.
These sellers are looking for:
- A proactive agent who can deliver results.
- A fresh strategy that avoids the mistakes of their first attempt.
- Clarity on what went wrong and how to fix it.
When you show empathy, expertise, and persistence, you stand out as the agent who can turn their situation around.
3. A Problem You Can Solve
The primary reasons listings fail to sell are:
- Pricing: The home wasn’t priced correctly for the market.
- Marketing: The home wasn’t effectively marketed to the right buyers.
- Presentation: The home didn’t appeal to buyers visually or emotionally.
With your expertise, these problems are solvable. By targeting expired listings, you’re working with sellers who need your skills—not just someone to list their home again.
Expired listings are a goldmine of opportunity, but success requires more than just sending out a postcard and hoping for the best. It’s about empathy, persistence, and offering clear solutions. With the data we’ve gathered and the systematic approach outlined here, you can turn expired listings into a cornerstone of your real estate business—and build a reputation as the agent who gets results.
Let’s dive into the sequence and strategies that will set you apart in this lucrative niche!
This is a hidden-gem of a campaign. Right now, most people ONLY circle prospect on their sales but if you think about it – you can do this for you buyers as well. That’s why we love the Buyer Circle Prospecting Letter. When you help a buyer find a home, tell all the neighbors about the story. This position you as a local expect and helps you start more conversations with prospective sellers.
This sales letter works because it’s timely, relevant, and low-pressure. It starts by grabbing attention with a 12% jump in mortgage applications—a statistic that feels significant, especially when paired with the 52% year-over-year increase. This creates curiosity and positions you as a knowledgeable expert.
It’s effective because it connects the data to the reader’s situation. By highlighting the growing pool of buyers and how it could lead to more offers and higher prices, it gives homeowners a reason to consider their options.
The call-to-action is simple: “Text me your address.” It feels personal, easy, and offers immediate value—a professional home value report. Even if they’re not planning to sell, it’s worth it to stay informed. The calm, conversational tone builds trust without any pressure, making it more likely they’ll take action.
This letter stands out because it delivers useful information, offers real value, and makes it easy for homeowners to respond.
This letter is designed to help homeowners who are hesitant to sell because they’re worried about finding their next home. It addresses their concerns, offers solutions, and builds trust with a clear, low-pressure call to action.
Why It Works:
- Acknowledges Their Fear:
It directly addresses the common concern—“What if I can’t find a new home I can afford?” - Provides a Solution:
Highlights the agent’s ability to find off-market properties, which reduces competition and stress. - Shows Social Proof:
Shares a real example of a client who purchased a home below market value through this approach, building credibility. - Reduces Pressure:
Reassures sellers that there won’t be bidding wars or high-pressure situations, easing their anxieties.
Simple Call to Action:Encourages sellers to text the agent, making it easy to start the conversation without any pressure.
In real estate marketing, timeliness and relevance are crucial for capturing attention and driving engagement.
According to a study by HubSpot, personalized and timely messages can boost engagement rates by up to 200% compared to generic campaigns.
By sending marketing materials that address current market conditions and homeowners' immediate concerns, you demonstrate your expertise and provide valuable insights exactly when your clients need them most.
This approach not only builds trust but also positions you as the go-to resource in a rapidly changing market.
The reason the "Deal of the Week" strategy is part of our weekly plan is because it’s incredibly effective at generating interest and driving activity around a featured property.
So, it’s time to double down on what’s working.
That’s why I created the "Deal of the Week" (DOTW) Farming Campaign.
The idea is simple: if you’re marketing a home as the "Deal of the Week," why wouldn’t you also reach out to the people most likely to be impacted by that sale? The neighbors.
By letting the surrounding homeowners know about the buzz and activity around a nearby property, we create a ripple effect of awareness and interest. This not only highlights the desirability of the neighborhood but also positions you as the go-to expert who understands how to leverage market activity to benefit homeowners.
This approach allows us to turn a single marketing campaign into multiple touchpoints, creating more opportunities to engage with potential sellers and build relationships within the community. It's about maximizing every effort to create the greatest impact and results.
The consumer is getting bombarded with marketing messages from agents that are overwhelming and confusing.
And worse - they all look the same.
We decided to do something different.
Simplicity and differentiation are key.
This campaign is designed to stand out in the mailbox and spark the consumers’ curiosity.
